Intermag Asia 2005 Publication Chairs' Preface.

The article presents information on the International Magnetics Conference 2005 held in Nagoya, Japan. The conference was of outstanding scientific and technical quality. Altogether there were 1058 presentations given at the conference. These were strictly selected by the Program Committee from the 1527 digests and nominations that were submitted. After the conference, a total of 817 manuscripts were submitted for consideration for publication in this volume. This was a much heavier burden than anticipated for the editors of Intermag 2005. In order to avoid any delays, two publications teams were set up: Higashi and Nishi.
