How to cooperate across the ocean

The issue discussed is how researchers in Japan can contribute and cooperate to promote the important field of computational science and engineering. Unfortunately, the term computational science and engineering is not yet popular in Japan; it is often equated with numerical analysis. Many people who could be active in this field just aren't aware of it. The author makes two proposals; an international workshop on computational science and engineering-this is an obvious yet important step to take and he would like to see discussed, among many issues, the basic discipline of computational science and engineering; and a global, seamless infrastructure for CSE.
