Welcome to comp.research.japan, a newsgroup devoted to Japanese 
research developments in computing and computer science.  This posting 
provides a general overview of the group and describes how to submit
articles.  Companion postings in comp.research.japan describe other aspects 
of the newsgroup, including regular features such as Kahaner Reports and 
information generated by the Japan CS Project, past articles that are 
available for anonymous FTP from The University of Arizona, etc.

OVERVIEW:

The basic purpose of this newsgroup is to increase the awareness of 
Japanese computing and 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 computing and CS activities,
          trip reports to Japanese universities and companies, etc.

       -- Announcements related to computing and CS in Japan, including 
          those related to conferences held in Japan, research opportunities 
          in Japan, funding for research visits to Japan, etc.

       -- Queries related to computing and CS research underway in Japan.

       -- General discussions on computing and CS in Japan, both academic 
          and industrial.

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."
