NS has planned and managed this Session since 2005, to promote the globalization of IEICE by providing the participants staying in Japan or joining from overseas with more opportunities to present papers and discuss completely in English. @This year, the number of papers submitted to this Symposium Session reached 62. It is the greatest number in the history. They were separated into 17 Sub-Sessions according to the topics and set up every day during the Conference. The total number of participants in the whole Session reached around 400. Various topics covering wireless networks, photonic networks, sensor networks, SDN, QoS/QoE, green ICT, social networks and others, were discussed in each session. @Twenty to thirty General Conference participants joined at each Sub-Session.

| @The IEICE General Conference 2013 was held at Gifu University in Gifu, Japan, on March 19 ? 22, 2013. In the evening on the first day, the fifth IEICE Communications Society (CS) Welcome Party was held. So far, the party has been held in the IEICE Society Conference since 2008 to provide an opportunity to talk friendly and exchange information between students and young researchers. This event has now become one of the major activities in IEICE-CS. @This year, the party was moved from the Society Conference in fall to the General Conference in spring when students would start to think about getting a job. About two hundred people, including about 70 students and many researchers from universities, institutes, and industries gathered, and enjoyed conversations and exhibitions with complimentary foods and drinks. @The party began with a welcome message from CS President, Prof. Yoshiaki Tanaka. Then it was followed by a main attraction: the six active communications engineering researchers from industry gave brief speeches with pieces of advice to the students. Technical Committees also had nice speeches for students. Then the second part of the party started with a toast from CS Vice President, Prof. Masahiro Umehira. About thirty posters of our Technical Committees and related companies were exhibited. Many students willingly had speeches with their thanks. Finally, CS President-Elect, Prof. Iwao Sasase concluded the party. @As one of the organizers of this event, I would like to note that this event is open not only to the new members of IEICE-CS but also to all the students and researchers who are interested in the activities of IEICE-CS. We would like to thank all of attendees for the event. We hope that more people will join IEICE CS Welcome Party at Niigata University, Niigata, Japan, in March next year!
