I. American Telemedicine Association (ATA) Mid-year meeting in Las Vegas on
9/17th/2007:
Dear Nancy:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I) with kind words.
Yes, I received a copy of the telemedicine proposal from Linda, which you
prepared with her. It is excellent, indeed!! I wish you and Linda a very
good luck with it.
(2) I also thank you for the info about your following event;
> "Global Forum on Telemedicine: Connecting the World through Partnerships" of
> American Telemedicine Association (ATA) Mid-year meeting
> Las Vegas on Sept. 17th, 2007

>> Dear E-Colleagues:
>>
>> Should you be interested in attending it, pls feel free to contact Nancy.
(3) Linda kindly offered her cordial invitation to this wonderful event
(ATTACHMENT II).
However, I regret to say that I would not be able to attend it, because I
would be just arriving back home from my trip to Cairo, Egypt around those
dates of your event, after attending the following conference by the kind
invitation of Prof. Al-Azab to me and my wife, Hisae;
> ICT-Learn2007

II. GSEEED Project:
Dear Andrei:
(5) It has been sometime since we met you at your office in Moscow last
fall.
As Linda says, if you have time during your busy trips, pls read through
Section VII of the above paper. This Section is about our “Quantitative
Policy Analysis of Global Socio-Economic-Energy-Environment Development
(GSEEED Project,” which I briefly described at our mtg in your office.
This globally distributed computer simulation system will focus on the
sustainable development of socio-economic-energy-environment system in
Japan, the US, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and the other relevant countries.
Researchers in those countries will construct their simulation models, which
will be interconnected through broadband Internet to form Globally
Distributed Socio-Economic-Energy-Environmental Simulation System.
The initial focus on energy security will be on the quantitative policy
analysis of global interrelations and interdependencies among those
countries with the deployment of gas pipeline from Tomsk, Siberia to China,
and the construction of hydroelectric dam in the Republic of Altai, Siberia
where there are five UNESCO World Heritage sites which draw increasing
number of tourists (400,000) into small town of Gorno-Altaisk with only
9,000 residents. This gas pipeline will certainly affect socio-economic
developments of Siberia, China, and hence the ones of Japan, the US, Europe
and others. Japan will also increasingly depend on the energy (oil and gas)
supply from Russia.
We would also like to make policy analysis of the followings;
> (a) Deployment of optical fiber line along with the gas-pipe line from Tomsk
> to China through Altai, -- as the extension of GLORIAD
> <http://www.gloriad.org/>;
>
> (b) Deployment of optical fiber line along with the railroad from Novosibirsk
> to Almaty, Kazakhstan, -- as also the extension of GLORIAD
> <http://www.gloriad.org/>;
>
> BTW, the latter was mentioned in the following list distribution;
>
>> (07/20/07) Creation of GUS/Kazakhstan with proposed extension of GLORIAD from
>> Novosibirsk to Almaty
>> http://preview.tinyurl.com/23p6f7
>>
>> As mentioned in it, the Japanese government brought a mission team of about
>> 150 industrialists to Kazakhstan a few months ago to secure uranium for
>> nuclear power plants in Japan. The Japanese government may be interested in
>> this project of creating GUS/Kazakhstan, including the deployment of optical
>> fiber line from Novosibirsk to Almaty, with the provision of their Official
>> Development Assistance (ODA) fund.
This project will then demonstrate integrated and synergistic approach among
grassroots, government, university, stakeholder, etc. Use of graphic info
modeling/mapping and potential "gaming" on key issues and solutions will
assist each group's ability for standardized data gathering and situational
analyses, projecting out possible outcomes for more informed decision making
and activities. It brings together most sophisticated university-based
mathematical modeling techniques and experts and regular people who can then
more easily see--at a glance--how issues and outcomes can impact and
interact each other.
> BTW, this project will be centered at the Polytechnic University (my alma
> mater) in Brooklyn. President Hultin of the Polytechnic University is a
> friend of former President Clinton and was a classmate at the Yale University
> Law School, and the former Under Secretary of the US Navy. He conducted
> several war gaming for terrorists attack, and thereby, he is very much
> interested in our peace gaming project, which term I coined almost three
> decades ago. Incidentally, war gaming is to win the war once when it
> happened, and peace gaming is to avoid the occurrence of war. President
> Hultin said to me that avoiding war is cheaper than waging war.
This project will train local experts for leadership development, in
relation to strategic use of technologies and cooperation among stakeholders
for more effective advocacy, informed policy, public understanding and
participation and concrete community development.
This project will construct Globally Distributed
Socio-Economic-Environmental Simulation System through broadband Internet,
which will have two tier system:
1. One for training young would-be decision makers in crisis management,
conflict resolution, and negotiation techniques basing on "facts and
figures" and
2. The other for helping decision makers construct a globally distributed
decision-support system for positive sum/win-win alternatives to conflict
and war.
(6) I am now working on the grant application for the preliminary workshop
of this project, which is to be held at the Polytechnic University in
Brooklyn — hopefully this fall. This application is to be submitted to the
Japan Foundation. We plan to invite our Russian colleagues, as soon as the
fund will be available.
About 6 months or so later, we would like to have next workshop at the
Novosibirsk State Technological University, and our American and other
countries’ colleagues are to be invited to discuss with local people in
details. At that time, we will contact you and would like to have your
support.
Keep in touch.
Best, Tak
