30th JSST Annual Conference (JSST 2011)
International Conference on Modeling and Simulation Technology

Welcome to JSST 2011 in Tokyo

On behalf of the Japan Society for Simulation Technology, I am pleased that we successfully hold our annual conference which has been transformed into the international one. I think that this accomplishment is owed to the efforts of our committee members. We sincerely thank those who accept our invitation to invited talks and representatives of our relevant societies who participate in our panel discussion. It is very important to adopt the reviewing system in order to accept high-quality oral presentation papers in our international conference. An electronic reviewing system is indispensable for excellent researchers to efficiently review papers. It is our honor that our committee members have successfully installed the paper reviewing system of which we can make full use although we were running out of time.

Our progress on the internationalization has been attributed to the excellent leadership of successive presidents. Our society had organized five international conferences with success including what our former society did. In AsiaSim2009 which took place in Ritsumeikan University, our society asked for the establishment of Federation of Asian Simulation Societies (FASS) which are composed of Singapore and Thailand in addition to China, Korea and Japan which had organized the AsiaSim conference by turns. The establishment will be completed at AsiaSim2011 which will take place in Seoul University. Our society is also finalizing our publication of a new English journal at 2013 by Springer. Japan, which suffered from the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, has been being revived through the warm-hearted aid from many countries including yours. Unfortunately, I was in Shinkansen when the earthquake struck us. I was truly surprised to find that it was so crowded near the Shinagawa station with many people who were at a loss when I arrived in seven hours late. I hope that you find an indication of the revival in the facial expression of people whom you have met around Shinagawa. Although we had suffered from the earthquake followed by Tsunami and nuclear crisis, we truly confirmed a strong bond with the world countries. Especially for our society, we recognized the importance of the simulation technologies with respect to the "look before you leap." The simulation generates tremendous size of datasets. If we fail to take care of them, we might be drowned in the flood of datasets. Currently, we are preparing for educating people about simulation.

I would like all the participants to enjoy this international city, Tokyo and deepen our mutual understanding. Especially I would like to ask many of you to join the invited talk entitled as "A Perspective on Simulation Technology" presented by our former president, Prof. Dr. Genki Yagawa, followed by the panel discussion in the second day of the conference. We expect that the bond between us will be strengthened more tightly through the active discussion.
