A workshop entitled "Radiation Research Based on Computer Simulation" was held at the 59th annual meeting of the Japanese Radiation Research Society. Approximately 50 participants attended the workshop, and six speakers gave a talk about their computational radiation biology studies. The title of the presentations are "Research on DNA damage and track structure simulation", "Study of cellular response based on stochastic model for simulating irradiated and non-irradiated cells", "Effectiveness of mathematical model for low-dose radiation effect", "Research on particle therapy based on cell surviving fraction model", "Development of model for natural induction of cataract", and "Mathematical model for carcinogenesis considering the differences of temporal and spatial doses". In the workshop, possible future collaborations were intensively discussed. This report briefly summarizes the outline of the workshop.
