Program

May 26 (Thu), Afternoon
　Each planned research group will set up individual information exchange meetings. Each group will provide the style of meetings (online/in-person), location, and time individually.
　Please join a planned research group you belong to or whose theme is closest to yours.
　A01: Meeting at Kanda lab 14:00- (in-person)
　A02・B01: Jointly held Discussion at NII 13:00- (in-person)

We are planning to discuss mainly two topics: 1) the competition under planning and 2) methods of converting logical formulas considering the efficiency of modern SAT solvers. We’ll also discuss free topics which team members will bring.
It’s a hybrid in-person/virtual meeting. For virtual connecting (Webex), please contact Dr. Yasuda.

　B02: no meeting
　B03: no meeting
　B04: Research Proposal Exchange Meeting 15:00- (in-person) (please get in touch with the group leader)

May 27 (Fri.)
