@The IEICE Technical Committee on Network Systems (NS) under IEICE Communications Society provided the complete English Symposium Session entitled gAdvanced Technologies in the Design, Management and Control for Future Innovative Communication Networkh consequently, during the four days of the Conference, as one of the eight Symposium Sessions hosted by IEICE Communications Society. In this Session, papers on advanced network technologies for the future information and communication society were presented and discussed between the speakers and the audience. NS has planned and managed this Session without interruption since 2005 so far, in order to promote the globalization of IEICE. This year, 60 papers were submitted to the Session. The number of submitted papers was adequate to organize sessions during the whole conference period. The papers were classified into 15 Sub-Sessions based on the topics. The Sub-Sessions were held every day during the General Conference. In each Session, a wide range of topics including future network technologies such as wireless/mobile networking, network virtualization represented by SDN/NFV, content oriented networks (ICN/CCN/NDN), photonic networks, green ICT, and others was discussed. @Twenty to forty General Conference participants joined each Sub-Session every day (Fig.11). The discussions between speakers and the audience in each Sub-Session were very active and they positively exchanged opinions to find innovative solutions. Since the time slot assigned for the question-and-answer just after each presentation was limited, they frequently continued discussions even during each break period. This Session much contributed to the provision of opportunities for international students and researchers to discuss and exchange up-to-date topics, technical problems, and ideas, even if the current research status was in the preliminary stage of R&D in the world. NS expects that the participants in the Session, will find researchers interested in or studying the same area technologies through presentation and discussion, and further have a chance to collaborate with each other on the area. It will be very effective in the globalization of IEICE. @NS will select the best papers and award a prize of the session in the near future to encourage their continuous activities. The best papers will be awarded in the upcoming NS Technical Committee meeting in October 2015. Your participation in the English Session by NS will be welcomed next year as well!
