Prof. Yukio Ohsawa received the Ph.D. degree from the School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, in 1995. He is currently a Professor of systems innovation with the School of Engineering The University of Tokyo. Before moving back to The University of Tokyo, he was a Research Associate with the School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, from 1995 to 1999, and subsequently, he was an Associate Professor with the Graduate School of Business Sciences, University of Tsukuba, from 1999 to 2005. In the field of artificial intelligence, he has created a new domain known as “Chance Discovery” to discover events with significant impact on decision making. He has delivered many keynote talks about Chance Discovery at conferences, such as the International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences, the International Conference on Rough Sets and Fuzzy Sets, the Joint Conference on Information Sciences, and Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems. Chance Discovery has been embodied as an innovators’ marketplace, a methodology for innovation that is borrowed from principles of market dynamics. He has also published 100 journal articles and initiated symposia and workshops on data-based approaches to business innovation. His original concepts and technologies have been published as books and monographs by global publishers, such as Springer, Verlag, and Taylor and Francis. The two most important books among these are Chance Discovery (Springer, 2003, Eric von Hippel gave the opening) and Innovators’ Marketplace: Using Games to Activate and Train Innovators (Springer, 2012, Larry Leifer gave the opening). He has edited special issues as a Guest Editor for journals mainly related to chance discovery such as Intelligent Decision Technologies (2016), Information Sciences (2009), New Generation Computing (2003), and the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management (2002).
