About the Symposium

Welcome to the Second Symposium on Real-World Computational Informatics. The Real-World Computational Informatics (RWCI) is a novel research field. It aims to establish a new framework of computational science whose target is the urban/natural environment where we human beings live.

The target of traditional computational science has been limited to natural science. In the framework we can arbitrarily control the time step in the simulation process of natural phenomena, because the world handled in the simulation is a virtual world in a super computer. The RWCI, however, handles the real world. The real world includes human beings in the system. This means that in the RWCI we cannot control the time step of the computational process; it should be real time.

The researches in the field of RWCI include real-world sensing, huge scale computing, flexible database handling, and real-time visualization, etc. It is important that seeds-oriented researches on fundamental technologies and needs-oriented researches on application systems should be conducted in parallel. This year, we organized the symposium to promote research exchange and fruitful discussions among young researches in the RWCI field. We hope you all enjoy the symposium.
