Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Planning and Executive Committee organized ten Area Meetings and two International Symposium on Prediction and Decision Making, which contributed to the establishment of a world-wide research network. The Research Support Committee organized six Open Tutorials and supported travels for exchanges of researchers across labs in the Area. The Public Relations Committee set up the Area Web Site and published nine Newsletters. As outreach activities, it supported summer schools, training courses, science classes for high school students, which contributed to training of young researchers and promotion of interests in science to students and school teachers.
