Dear All listed above:

(1) Many thanks for your responses (ATTACHMENT I to IX below) with kind words to Reference (a) and (b) above.

Dear Chris:

(2) Referring to your msg (ATTACHMENT VII below) Tapio is not the one who received the Nobel Prize, though I think he is well deserved for it.

If your msg was addressed to me, I really appreciated your very kind words.

(3) It has been certainly a great pleasure for me to walk at the fore front on the use of various advanced technologies in my life for the past half century.

Almost right after I used a slow-time analog computer mounted on the battleship Missouri which bombarded Hitachi City in Japan just prior to the end of the WWII as I mentioned in the Reference (a) above, I could have a chance to use the world most advanced hybrid computer made by Beckman Instrument in California for the simulation of chemical reaction in the retort extracting shale oil out of shale rocks abundantly available in Rocky Mountains while I worked for Mobil Oil Company.  That was around the mid 1960s.

The hybrid computer was consisted with two analog computer with 500 amplifiers for each, both of which were connected to Xerox/Sigma real-time digital computer with 30 K word memory (*).

(*) I would greatly appreciate if someone inform me what size in kilo bytes for this size.  Although it was a common expression to indicate the size of digital computer around that time, I never figured out what the ÒK word memoryÓ would be  equivalent to the present expression of digital computer with K or M bytes memory.


It was made for NASA at $ 1.5 million, but NASA did not have enough money, so that it was just sitting at their lab in Richmond, CA.  I then flew to CA every two weeks for a half year.  It was so interesting that I was completely absorbed in the simulation job almost day and night.  My working schedules gradually shifted to work in night and sleep in day=time at a prestigious hotel at the Union Square in San Francisco.  One morning, its door-man asked me what kind of job I was doing!!

Several months later, Boeing engineers came to start using the hybrid computer.  I then asked them what they were doing.  They said ÒDesigning an airplane to fly to Tokyo in 30 minutes!!Ó  I thought they were completely crazy engineer.  However, lo behold, it was amazing to know that a space shuttle had the Okinawa airport as an emergency landing spot almost a half dozen years later.  

This hybrid computer was later shipped to the Lincoln Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct the real-time simulation of Neil ArmstrongÕs lunar landing.  When he was about to make the historical landing, the on-board control panel flashed to abort the landing.  The scientist at the MIT said that was due to the error of the onboard computer, and instructed Neil Armstrong to ignore the flashing light and go ahead to make the landing.

I was then felt very proud of having the opportunity to have used such a hybrid computer almost a half dozen years prior to such a historical event. I then realized that those engineers who were engaged in the computer simulation were walking a decade ahead of other human-kind.  In a sense, the computer simulation is a tool to test imagination. and Einstein said ÒImagination is more important for creativity than knowledge.Ó  Computer simulation is much cheaper and easier than hardware Òpilot-plantÓ approach.

After those experiences, computer simulations engineers around the US thought I was a specialist, and then brought me many kind of digital simulation programs which could do the same as analog/hybrid computers.  I then created and named the Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC) as the Program (1970) and General (1971) chairmen of the International Society of Computer Simulation (ISCS) which was also named by me.  The SCSC has now being held every year as the main conference of the world prestigious professional society of ISCS.  I then also helped my friend to create Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL) which was also named by me.  This is now the world most widely used simulation language to solve simultaneous ordinary differential equations, e.g., system dynamics simulation models of our Global Early Warning System (GEWS), etc.

The simulation with the ACSL is with a single computer at a single location, but the distributed simulation of our GEWS is to interconnect those simulation models scattered around the world through broadband Internet, as we would use entire global Internet as if a single computerÕs mother board.  This is my next fore-runner project, since I believe nobody has ever done this kind of simulation which I and my patent attorney found out after extensive patent search.


(4) Another example of walking at the fore front was my initiation of globalizing Internet (Reference (c) above) and the de-regulation of the Japanese telecom policy for the use of email, which has been emulated around the world to have over 2.6 billion email users and billions of cell-phone users nowadays — as bringing even the so-called ÒArab Spring.Ó  For this, I had to spend my considerable effort, time and own funds — even smashing my wifeÕs 3 typewriters to send out many thick petitions and letters to various US governmental agencies, commercial firms and educational institutions — I finally got a help from the Late Commerce Secretary Malcom Baldrige to succeed with these effort as cracking the formidable Japanese non-tariff trade barriers <http://tinyurl.com/2e2o7rc> in the late 1970s to early 1980s.


<http://tinyurl.com/ml9m2m2>

I was very satisfied when I learned that the Internet was the first telecom used to notify the devastating earthquake in Kobe in January of 1995 to overseas so that rescue team could be arranged immediately (*), and also the Internet was the telecom which operation lasted much longer than other telecom means, when the huge tsunami came to Tohoku area of Japan in March of 2011 — as indicated the NON-destructive nature of packet-switching technology of Internet,  which was invented by the Late Paul Baran, one of strong supporters of our projects for many years (References (d) and (e) above).

(*) I was quite embarrassed when a house representative of the Kobe district once deeply bowed to me expressing the gratitude on be half of Kobe people for this fact.


Another satisfaction on my effort of deregulating the telecom policy on the use of email was when I learned that Ms. Jody Williams was saying that her campaign could mobilize concerned people quickly around the world (even including the Late Princess Diana) with the use of email — as you may know, her movement (which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997) was to remove land-mines in war-torn areas where children often play around in those land-mine infested areas and are blown up or lost their arms and legs.

Dear Edwin:

(4) Many thanks for your msg with kind words (ATTACHMENT IX below), in response to the Reference (b) above.

Yes, pls have a good time with Tapio when he will be in Nigeria next week — he is in communication with me about his  conference talk and presentation.  I am sure your conference people would appreciate them.

Best, Tak

Dear Tak

Congratulation with the Nobel  in Chemistry- going to your field of work. This was fabulous. And thank you for sharing all this information in your e-mail. I also enjoyed the price in physics. Today it is the Nobel for peace, looking forward to hear.
There are many things I do not understand, of the technical sides, but I do understand that your work is very helpful for our humanity.

It has been very quiet from me the last months. It is because so many things happened in my life. And since I realize I have to set things better in the nordic countries, in order to learn more. And in order to be able to help out in your global work.

I now live partly in Stockholm. University of Stockholm wants to cooperate and "gave" me and my husband a office. It is the department of computer and system analysis. We will work together in developing the nordic movement of distance education. It is the Unit Manager of Flexible Learning who brought us there.

I will tell you more about it. And this is the work that Tapio Varis joined for a work shop in june-in my home village.

This just to say that we are following your e-mails and the good work going on.

All my best
Astrid
