Invitation
I am privileged to announce that a research group (representative Hiroe Tsubaki,
University of Tsukuba) supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Ministry ofEducation, Culture, Science and Technology at University of Tsukuba will hostInternational workshop of the Grammar of Technology Development-Accelerating New Technology Development by Statistical Thinkingon January 17-18, 2005 at Tokyo Campus of University of Tsukuba.
Computer simulation is becoming popular in many fields, such as manufacturingindustry, communication, at many stages, such as design and development of product,production design. This trend implies the necessity to develop a grammar oftechnology development whose core is computer simulation with statistical thinking.
In order to accelerate new technology development, there is a need to utilize thecomputer simulation in an effective way. In particular, it is crucial to have knowledge toutilize computer simulation, such as techniques of data collection, data analysis,model fitting, approximated function as well as the importance of the knowledge on
simulated field. This workshop focuses on the techniques that support to utilize
computer simulation effectively.
One of the features of this workshop is an interdisciplinary approach, because thedifficulty of this subject. We believe that some in depth discussions from various
viewpoints derive a grammar of technology. Some candidate sessions are shown inthe below.
Application of computer simulation in industry
New statistical tools of design of experiments for computer simulation
Linkage of Mathematical programming with computer simulation
Simulation technology and data mining, etc
Effective application of SQC in practiceData mining and computer simulation
Review of software in terms of effective application
Another feature of this workshop is post publication after the workshop. Some
excellent papers are published in a special issue. More details will be informed youlater.
Thank you very much for your joining!

Workshop chair:
Hiroe Tsubaki, (Professor, University of Tsukuba)
