The fifth Oxford Conference was held on September 17th-19th, 1991,
at the Fuji Institute of Training in Japan -the first time that the
meeting has taken place in the Asian area. The facts that only a
relatively few Japanese had attended previous Oxford Conferences
and that Japan is far from other regions with possible participants
made the organizers anticipate a small attendance at the meeting.
However, contrary to our expectations, 198 active members (72
foreign and 126 domestic participants) submitted 146 papers from 15
countries. This was far beyond our preliminary estimate and could
have caused problems in providing accommodation for the
participants and in programming their scientific presentations.
These difficulties, however, were successfully overcome by using
nearby hotels, by telecasting presentations into a second lecture
room and by displaying a substantial number of poster presentations
during the whole period of the meeting. The meeting had two types
of sessions: regular and current topics. The first paper in each
session represented a shon overview or introduction so as to make
it easier for the audience to comprehend the problems at issue.
Because of the large number of papers submitted, carefully selected
speakers (mostly well-known scholars) made excellent presentations
that were followed by lively discussions. In this way, the
conference laid a foundation on which to base its continued
scientific success.
