I am considering going to Japan for a sabbatical. The fellowship program I have access to awards grants to perform research at a number of government laboratories. The hitch is that university laboratories are excluded. I obtained a list of elligible host institutes, but am left a little puzzled. Although the program is open to computer scientists, most of the eligible host institutions have names like "National Institute of Animal Industry", "National Research Institute of Brewing", or "Traffic Safety and Nuisance Research Institute", etc. The closest one comes is "National Aerospace Laboratory". Am I left to assume that all these institutions also have active research in computer science? I would appreciate some help in identifying institutions out of this list which in fact are active in my area. I could of course write to all of them, but that would mean 118 letters... Could anyone familiar with the situation in Japan point me to national laboratories (excluding university and university-affiliated laboratories) with active research in computer science (by the way, my area of expertise is program transformation, algebraic manipulations of programs, parallelization, ...). [[The Electro-Technical Laboratory (ETL) in Tsukuba City certainly has an active CS research program. Can anyone comment on the situation at other laboratories? -- rds]] Thanks, thw. k316670@aearn.bitnet

I don't think so. I think none of organization in your list will meet your needs. >(excluding university and university-affiliated laboratories) This will make your selection very narrow, since most of academic computer research in Japan have been organized by the Ministry of Education. >[[The Electro-Technical Laboratory (ETL) in Tsukuba City certainly has > an active CS research program.

I think kek.ac.jp (The High-Energy Physics Lab., in Tsukuba, an organization of the Ministry of Education) is eligible too. -- Kenji -- Kenji Rikitake, Socioenginnering R&D Center, Packet Radio User's Group "All we are saying is give peace a chance." -- John Lennon, "Give Peace A Chance", 1969
