Monthly Message for comp.research.japan (last revised: Jan 8, 1991) --------------------------------------- Welcome to comp.research.japan, a newsgroup devoted to Japanese developments in computer science. This posting is intended to outline the purpose of the group, as well as to provide directions on how to submit articles, and other (hopefully) useful information. GENERAL INFORMATION: The basic purpose of this newsgroup is to increase the awareness of Japanese research results in CS by providing a forum for publicizing this work and for subsequent discussions. For example, articles of the following type are appropriate for this newsgroup: -- Information about CS research papers published in Japan, including titles, authors, and (where feasible) abstracts. This includes papers in both English and Japanese. -- Descriptions of current Japanese CS research activities, trip reports to Japanese universities and companies, etc. -- Announcements related to CS in Japan, including those related to conferences held in Japan, research opportunities in Japan, etc. -- General discussions on CS in Japan. Articles related to the Japanese language should be submitted to sci.lang.japan, while more general articles on Japanese life and culture should be submitted to soc.culture.japan. comp.research.japan is a moderated newsgroup, which means that articles first go to me as moderator before being posted to the newsgroup. The role of the moderator here is to avoid duplicate postings, redirect articles more appropriately submitted elsewhere, actively solicit articles, etc. SUBMISSIONS: Articles can be submitted by the normal posting mechanism in most news reading programs; the software will then mail them to the moderator for posting. Articles for posting can also be submitted by email to address "japan@cs.arizona.edu". Comments, questions, etc. that are not intended for posting can be submitted to me directly at "rick@cs.arizona.edu." ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What good is it going to do me to find out about papers written in Japanese? A: (1) Very often, the authors will also have related papers written in English that can be obtained on request. (2) My experience is that it is often quite possible to determine the main thrust of a paper since even papers written in Japanese commonly have figures, keywords, etc. that are in English. Sometimes, the abstract is in English as well as Japanese. (3) There may also be the chance to gain information by direct email exchange with the authors. Most technical Japanese have very good English reading and writing skills, and e-mail connections to Japan from other parts of the world are now excellent. Q: Where can I get the Kahaner Report on X? A. David Kahaner's reports on computing in Japan and elsewhere in Asia can be retrieved by anonymous FTP from site cs.arizona.edu, directory japan/kahaner.reports. Please send email to rick@cs.arizona.edu if you retrieve something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Schlichting, Associate Professor (rick@cs.arizona.edu) Dept of Computer Science, The University of Arizona -------------------------------------------------------------------------
