The first International Workshop
The First International Workshop on Man-Machine Symbiotic Systems was held on November 25th and 26th, 2002 with a great success. More than 170 participants (more than 145 from academia; more than 25 from industry) enjoyed the two-day workshop. The workshop provided the participants with the exciting forum where they exchanged their latest knowledge and stimulated each other through intensive discussion. At the workshop, we invited six outstanding researchers listed below who work for man-machine symbiotic systems. We also had on-site demonstrations as well as paper presentations. Here are the technical programs of the paper presentations with their abstracts and the titles of the demonstrations.

The Proceedings Fee:
We send the workshop proceedings with no fee, if requested, to those who could not attend the workshop so that they can understand the technical details on the presented topics at the workshop. Please feel free to contact us below if you need the workshop proceedings. We serve based on the first-in first-out strategy. Since the amount of the stock of the proceedings is limited, in case where it is out of stock, therefore, please understand that we cannot provide you with the proceedings.
Finally, we will have the second workshop on Man-Machine Symbiotic Systems. The announcement is given in our project home page when ready. Please keep continual visits to the page. We look forward to meeting you (again) at the next workshop, thank you.
