Dear Victor
and Maria:
I found this latter web site this
morning through BBC News web site — it is spreading!! -- Congratulations
to you.

This project is now out-grown to GEWS — see Reference (a) above.
Dear Muriel:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below).
Dear E-Colleagues:
As Muriel suggest, I strongly urge you to access <http://www.spyghana.com/new-cable-broadens-web-access-in-senegal/>.

Dear Victor and Mool:
(2) My wholehearted congratulations to your successful landing of your ÒAfrica
Coast to Europe (ACE)Ó ultra high speed (5 tera bps) optical fiber submarine
cable to Senegal.
Dear Muriel:
(3) Pls feel free to introduce our GEWS project (Reference (a) above) to an
appropriate person at a higher educational institution in Senegal, who may be
interested working with us to establish a network of GEWS hubs in ECOWAS
countries, and Senegal could be one of them.
The videoconference centered at the Stevens Institute of Technology on April
18th (References (b) and (c) above) will be a prelude to the planning workshop
of this GEWS/ECOWAS project, which is to be held at the office of GLORIAD at
the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (UTK) as soon as we get a NSF fund.
This videoconferencing will allow us to get to know one another for
subsequent collaborative research on their co-prosperity, as stimulating
creative brainpower in those ECOWAS countries, searching for youth
participation and training.
Your Senegalese colleague can access the videoconference as one of general
public, if he/she gets the web URL from Mike and/or Youcef — very sorry
the videoconferencing system has already filled up with the ECOWAS colleagues
from Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Sierra Leon, and Gambia. However, he/she can
attend in person the planning workshop at the GLORIA/UTK — very sorry
again, if I could know him/her before, I could include his/her travel expenses
in the grant application which will be submitted soon to the NSF from the
GLORIAD/UTK.

Dear Ed:
(4) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT II below), as kindly
introducing Glenn Ricart to me.
Dear Glenn:
(5) Your US/Ignite project with the NSF fund <http://us-ignite.org> sounds very interesting
and exciting, indeed!!
BTW, as one of pioneers of Internet, you might have attended the historical
first International Conference on Computer Communication (ICCC) at the Hilton
Hotel in Washington DC in October 1972;

I was
there, too, to present a paper (Reference (d) above), which was the first one
to announce the distributed simulation mode, which is the core of our GEWS
project.
At the conference, I saw the demo of ARPANET, and thought that its
packet-switching telecom is the one just suited for our project. I then
started to extend it to Japan and other countries — it took a long, long
time till early 1980s — visit two of my blogs at <http://tinyurl.com/cqgjsy7>. It was a kind of
initiating the globalization of Internet.
After its pluming job done, I then encountered with fierce opposition on the
use of email through the newly established Internet line from the Japanese
Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs (MPT), (including Mr. Yoshio Utsumi, then its
Section Manager of Data Telecommunication, who later became the Secretary
General of the International Telecom Union (ITU), a unit of the United Nations,
and KDD (which is the Japanese overseas telecom authority and is now KDDI)).
Greg Cole, Principal Investigator of
GLORIAD, once told me his grandmotherÕs words; ÒWhen people start talking each
other, they donÕt fight any longer.Ó
BTW, you
might have met Greg at the National LambdaRail conference — I was invited
by him to attend it in Chicago last October.
This is the same reason why I spent my
considerable time, effort and private fund to de-regulate the Japanese telecom
policy for the use of email with the help from the Late Commerce Secretary, Mr.
Malcolm Baldridge -- he kindly took this issue to the Japanese government in
1981 as one of the JapanÕs ÒNon-tariff Barriers.Ó This was then emulated
in other countries to have more than 2.5 billion email users around the world
nowadays — even having led to the so-called ÒArab Spring.Ó

(6) Our GEWS project is to connect national socio-economic-energy-environmental
simulation models, firstly around ECOWAS countries along the west coast of
Africa, and then Nile river basin countries in east Africa, and then all of
other countries of the African Union, and ultimately entire world. This
is the first step for constructing such a global simulation model in a global
virtual supercomputer in a globally distributed simulation mode —
with the use of GLOSAS/USAÕs proprietary procedure (*), possibly through
broadband Internet, e.g., GLORIAD.

The essence of new economy in Knowledge Society is the creativity and
innovation -- more than the accumulation of knowledge for enhancing job skills.
Thanks to the advancement of broadband Internet (e.g., ACE/GLORIAD), such
creativity and innovation are to be made in global scale, as taking the
advantages of ÒSharingÓ and ÒCollaborationÓ nature of Internet, which are also
the basic principles of global peace keeping. This is a stark
contrast to the conventional isolated ÒIvory TowerÓ approach, as utilizing
proliferating social-media (e.g, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) for participatory
democracy.
Thanks also to the advancements of ICT, this is a significant step forward from
the day of aggregated approach, e.g., the World Model of the ÒLimits to the Growth,Ó
which ignored intricacies of individual countries and also neglected the very
basic social infrastructure of Ònational boundaries,Ó etc., and hence violating
the fundamental iron rule #1 of simulation, ÒMake simulation as much close to
the SIMULANDÓ -- here SIMULAND is the target of the simulation.
We hope this is to promote globally collaborative creativity as stimulating and
energizing abundantly available young brainpower in Africa.
The direction of our GEWS project may hence be similar to yours, -- ours in
Africa compared with yours in the US. We would then be greatly appreciate
to have your guidance to our GEWS project.
Best, Tak
