24th Czech-Japan Seminar on Data Analysis and Decision Making

About the seminar

The Czech-Japan Seminars on Data Analysis and Decision Making under Uncertainty were initiated by two meetings held in Ishikawa and Čeladná in 1999. These meetings were financially supported by an international collaborative research project between the Czech Republic and Japan. The initial meetings were quite successful both in producing new results in the area of data analysis and decision making under uncertainty and in bringing together an international group of researchers ready for mutual research cooperation. This group has kept the seminars going ever since, organizing them alternately in the Czech Republic and Japan every year.

In 2024, the seminar is being organized by the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Czeh Academy of Sciences, and the Faculty of Management at the Prague University of Economics and Business. The seminar will be held in Telč - a UNESCO heritage site in the Vysočina region,, internationally famous for its well-preserved Renaissance and Baroque architecture in its historic center, as well as the nearby Renaissance château.

We invite submissions of papers on (but not limited to) information science, operations research, management science, stochastic analysis, fuzzy analysis, mathematical programming, discrete optimization, constraint programming, planning, and related fields.

Venue

The workshop will take place at Centre Telč of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. A conference hotel will be organized for participants. However, with Telč offering a variety of accommodations, participants are free to choose according to their preferences.

Fee

The fee includes full board (3 lunches, 3 dinners, from dinner on September 9 to lunch on September 12), a social program, coffee breaks, and publication in the conference proceedings.

Thanks to our sponsors, the first 7 Japanese participants will be exempt from the conference fee.

Accommodation

Telč, a popular tourist destination, offers a variety of accommodation options in all price categories. Participants are welcome to arrange their own accommodations according to their preferences.

Nevertheless, lunches and some dinners will take place at Hotel Antoň*** , where we have negotiated a special rate for conference participants. The organizers will also be staying there. Room reservations can be made through us (in the registration form or by email to velorex@utia.cas.cz).
