New Venue for Workshops: NII's Shonan Village

In the class and style of Dagstuhl, Oberwolfach, Bertinoro or Banff, NII (a national research lab in Japan) has just started weekly meetings. These will be held at the Shonan village, a popular place close to Mt Fuji with spas and beaches, \leq 1.5 hrs from Tokyo. The official webpage has more details and call for proposals. There is one on graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization run by Satoru Iwata and Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, already scheduled for early 2011. I am delighted!
