“The Meeting of Extenics Academic Committee” was presided over by Yu Yongquan,  deputy director of Extenics Academic Committee and professor of Guangdong  University of Technology. Chen Wenwei, director of the academic committee and  professor of National University of Defense Technology gave a speech  “Work Summary Report of Academic Committee”, systematically introduced the work  of the academic committee and research progress of extension software,  extension strategy generation and extension data mining, and emphasized the  role of knowledge of Extenics in developing software. Yang Guowei, deputy  director of the academic committee and professor of Nanchang Hangkong   University reported  latest project applications and awards. During the discussion, participants  express their opinions actively, came up with new and better ways for the  development of Extenics, and proposed a series of suggestions to promote Extenics.

“The Work Meeting of Research Institute of Extenics and Innovation Methods of  Guangdong University of Technology” was hosted by Huang Jincai, deputy director  of the research institute and professor of National University of Defense  Technology, and Deng Qunzhao, deputy director of the research institute and  professor of Nanchang   University. Prof. Yang  Chunyan, director of the research institute. They made a comprehensive report  of the development of the research institute in her “Work Summary of Research  Institute of Extenics and Innovation Methods of Guangdong University of  Technology”. Plenty of basic work has been done in the earlier stage As a  result, the research institute has recently been supported and sponsored by  more parties. It has entered a new stage of rapid development.

Also, participating experts and scholars had a heated discussion about a number  of issues in the work of Extenics research:

The meeting discussed “Preparation for 2013 International Extenics Meeting”. Li  Qiaoxing, deputy secretary-general of Extension Engineering Specialized  Committee and associate professor of Lanzhou   University made a report  of the preparation progress of the meeting, discussed with participants about  key issues, and confirmed work focus and content of the next stage.

The promotion and training of Extenics were discussed in the meeting.
