@It is my great honor to introduce the current status and future vision of IEICE Society of Information and Systems (briefly gISSh) to the general readers over the world as the President. Regarding the organization and activities of ISS, Prof.Youichi Ohta introduced academic activities on the broad special field covering from fundamental theories to application technologies concerned with information systems, to encourage researchers and students in the relevant special fields through Global Plaza no.7 published in the monthly Journal vol.92, no.8, 2010, and Prof.Tohru Ishida referred to the necessity of automatic translation capabilities for the near future multi-cultural society through Global Plaza no.21 in the Journal vol.93, no.10, 2010 and the possibilities of intercultural collaboration in multi-language communication through Global Plaza no.39 in the Journal vol.95, no.4, 2012. Here, my talk will be focused on how ISS is trying to reply for your evolving needs of paper publication and mutual technological exchange with relevant researchers in Technical Committees. Wide Technological Coverage of ISS @The research area of ISS covers the special fields including information processing technologies using computers, and a wide area from the fundamental topics to applications of systematization process integrating the computer, communications and human factors. The main role of ISS is to provide the members with a forum for their research presentation and exchange, and simultaneously contribute to the sustainable evolution of IT fields currently giving the important and common social infrastructure. Evolution of Electronic Media for Paper Publication @In the 2014 fiscal year, ISS has formally started the on-line service of ISS Technical Reports which was tentatively set up in 2013. ISS will continuously promote to archive Technical Reports which have been published before 2013, for their on-line service, as well. Regarding the Proceedings of Forum on Information Technology (FIT), all of the past ones were already uploaded on the Conference Archives and registered in the I-Scover system. Successively, coming issues of FIT Proceedings will be archived as well. The access to the other ISS publications also will be much easier for the members through uploading IEICE Transaction on Information and Systems, on the archive and I-Scover database. Acceleration Process of Technical Committee Activities and Information Sharing on the Web @It is also one of ISSfs important policies to make Technical Committees more active for the presentation of research results and technical exchange by the participants, and to globalize international conferences organized or co-organized by Technical Committees.ISS intensifies the organization by promoting the collaborations and mutual support by Technical Committees, Technical Meeting and Committee Secretaries. On the other hand, the overlapping area or distant area between current special fields tend to increase. ISS will find solutions through active information exchange between Technical Committees, furthermore, promote the advertisement of Technical Committee activities through improvement of ISS publications or Web information with more interesting contents introducing common activities among Technical Committees and unique academic activities of members. Quality and Efficiency Improvement of Transactions @It is indispensable to make up a system to continuously enhance the quality of transactions so that ISS can remain to be a core of research activity in the field of information and systems. Regarding the Transaction in English, ISS will take the initiatives of impact factor enhancement and establishment of electronic version of the Transaction. The collaborations with Technical Committee to intensify the special issues of selected papers or the papers for technical surveillance will be accelerated according to the evaluation results of the trial electronic version of Transactions. The Transaction in Japanese will enhance the quality by continuously publishing the special issues of student papers or papers on system development, and promoting the authorization process of excellent papers, as well. Thus, both Transactions will be much improved with the publication of more surveillance or instructional papers, accessibility enhancement, earlier publication including papers under editorial works, more articles of Transaction on the Web, commencement of cost reduction based options without printing or through pdf version delivery. Improvement of Member Services @Through continuous publication of updated Web pages in English or Japanese, the information delivery to general members or international members will be reinforced to improve member services in ISS so that the Society will be more powerful and attractive with more members. The ISS Student Poster Session in IEICE General Conference will be put forward from the viewpoint of evaluation process or sustainable improvement process. Toward Intensified Management System of ISS @The management committee of ISS will continue the global discussion of activities and investment effect with general members, especially international so that ISS would be more attractive to the members. Additionally, the committee will be strengthened to be easily accessible through positive arrangement of electronic meeting. Your positive and constructive opinions are welcome.
