August-November have been very busy and interesting conference months. The TRIZ Journal will reprint some of the best papers from each conference (with thanks to the authors and the conference organizers) but I am a great believer in the benefits of personal interactions—make plans now to attend a conference next year! If you need to catch up on what the rest of the world has been doing, see:

• http://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/ for Toru Nakagawa’s report on the Japan TRIZ meeting
  
• http://www.innovatingtowin.com/innovating_to_win/2007/10/computer-aided-.html for Jim Todhunter’s report on the Computer-Aided Innovation meeting (global participation, meeting in Michigan, USA)  that featured a wide range of topics, from the taxonomy of knowledge to  genetic algorithms for shape generators to automation of patent searches.
  
• Some of my commentary archives for reports on conferences I’ve attended and the archives of other commentators, too.
