Chance Discovery is the discovery of chance, rather than discovery by chance. A ``chance" here means a new or novel event/situation that can be conceived either as an opportunity or as a risk. The ``discovery" of chances is of crucial importance since it may have a significant impact on human decision making. Desirable effects of opportunities should be actively promoted, whereas preventive measures should be taken in the case of discovered risks. In other words, chance discovery aims to provide means for inventing or surviving the future, rather than predicting the future.
This workshop will discuss several problems in Chance Discovery. Mainly, we will discuss how to discover and suggest events causing significant but hidden events. Several topics will be discussed from the

• Theoretical viewpoint,
• Cognitive viewpoint, and
• Viewpoint of Application.
