Ian Frank,
a British computer scientist and associate professor at Future University-Hakodate in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. His research focuses on robot soccer and multiplayer games with incomplete information, in particular the game of Bridge. He received a M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree from University of Edinburgh in 1991 [1] and 1998 [2] respectively, both on search and planning applied to Bridge, advisor was Alan Bundy. Along with David Basin, Ian Frank is author of the Bridge program Finesse [3]. His further interests includes the World Music and Dance Festival (WNDF) in Hakodate [4], where he is chairman of the annual event [5] [6].
