Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are expected to be significant tools to solve many problems facing modern Japanese society. Wide-ranging expertise and professional knowledge, and a wider vision are required. Whenever, academic point of view is indispensable and only IEICE serves as the academic center of Japanese ICT. IEICE should provide members with opportunities to sophisticate their knowledge, practical skills, and expertise, as well as international perspectives. I would like to serve as the Director, Journal and Transactions, to the best of my ability.
