	A Joint Session. "Social System and Modeling Education," with the Japan Association of Simulation and Gaming (JASAG) at the 9th (1997) JASAG Annual National conference at Tokyo University, October 3 through October 4, 1997.
	JSD Official Home Page. The site was created on December 1, 1996. The address is http://wwwsoc.nacsis.ac.jp/jsd/. This site is located in the Academic Society Home Village, maintained by the Academic Information Center of the Ministry of Education in Japan. This is a free site for academic organizations in Japan. JSD's home page is bilingual (Japanese and English) so that it diffuses JSD's activities to the Japanese people as well as informing JSD's activities to members of the System Dynamics Society in the world.
