[3] Encourage the participants to launch international research collaboration projects. 
[4] Contribute to solution of the global problems and to realization of the sustainable society.

For a deep discussion in a specific field, "Invited Papers Session" is prepared. It is expected to work as a specialized topical meeting in the whole conference, just like an independent conference in the whole conference ICTCBW2018. Top class researchers can gather and discuss on the specific topic deeply and intensively, while they enjoy the dinners and parties every night together with other participants.
