The 2013 ITU Kaleidoscope Conference will highlight multidisciplinary aspects of the future Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) covering future services and applications demand as well as socio-economic, cultural, ethical, legal and sustainable development policy aspects of communities in the future. It will be held at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan, on April 22-24, 2013. IEICE will technically co-sponsor the Conference and IEICE Standards Committee chaired by Prof. Tetsuya Miki, The University of Electro-Communications will play the core of the co-sponsorship. Prof. Mitsuji Matsumoto, Waseda University who has served ITU Kaleidoscope Conference as one of the Organizing Committee members since its commencement, was assigned as the Chair of Committee for the 2013 ITU Kaleidoscope Conference under ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). The Conference also will be hosted by Kyoto University, supported by Telkom, the largest integrated communications company in Africa, in partnership with Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC), Waseda University, IIEEJ, European Academy for Standardization (EURAS) and National Institute for Information and Communications Technology (NICT). It is the fifth annual peer-reviewed academic conference organized by ITU so far, to identify evolving Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and take the initiative in the global development of open relevant international standards in collaboration with universities, industry and research institutions. The theme of this Conference is “Building Sustainable Communities”. ICTs are expected as a catalyst in changing the life to overcome subsequent challenges in the new millennium, including global economic crises, high unemployment rates, accessibility issues, global diseases, food availability and distribution, climate change, environmental disasters, energy consumption, transport issues, safety, security and welfare. In addition to technical aspects, the sustainable communities also will raise ethical concerns such as the responsibility for the future generations and environment, as well as for the information protection. The sustainable communities will combine human-oriented technologies with human values. Standards are required to dispute these issues and co-evolve technologies and sustainable communities. Global efforts by inter-sector stakeholders will be required to develop the standards. The Conference will promote further collaborations and highlight multidisciplinary aspects of the future ICTs. The Conference calls for original academic papers offering innovative and bold approaches in research and development to build smart, ethical, and sustainable communities. The three best papers will win the prize with fund of US$10,000 in total. Young Author Recognition Certificates also will be issued there. CFP is summarized as follows: (1)Paper length and form Prospective authors from member countries of ITU are invited to submit complete, original papers with a maximum length of 4,500 words within eight pages including summary and references, according to the paper template available at http://itu-kaleidoscope.org/2013 through EDAS based on-line paper submission. All papers will be reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process and electronically handled, taking the contention, originality, clarity, relevance to the conference’s theme and effect to the future standards into account.
