Comment from Miwako Shimizu, the Chief of ISTS Organizing Committee
The size of the information of this website took too much time to update pages and programs. When accesses from the USA, Germany, France, and recently from the Middle East, South-Eastern Asia, China, Korea were concentrated during the conference, the server was ready to crash. After the previous conference, we desided to introduce KUSANAGI. I’m looking forward to the effect of the introduction of KUSANAGI.
