Objective:

The Internet has revolutionized and changed the way we communicate, 
socialize, entertain, access information and conduct business. It has 
evolved into a pervasive ecosystem of connected computers, mobile devices, 
sensors, home appliances, and a variety of other gadgets. This evolution 
has led to a deep intertwining of the physical, social and digital worlds, 
raising new research agendas and challenging our understanding of the 
requirements for a vastly interconnected world.

Considering the fact that the theme is intensively studied in the world, 
Technical Committee on Internet Architecture of IEICE Communication Society 
(TCIA) decided to organize international Workshop. The purpose of this 
workshop is promoting research activities in Internet and its applications 
within Asian area, and provides a forum for researchers and practitioners 
from the academic, industrial, public and governmental sectors to share 
their latest innovations. Papers from students on this area are 
particularly welcomed.

Taking account of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami at March 11, 
2011, IA2012 features a special session on Internet and its technologies 
for earthquake and tsunami, for which papers on this subject are highly 
appreciated. Some invited talks are planned on reports from that disaster.
