情報科学の研究者がノーベル賞を受賞する時代になったことは、科学技術の基礎と応用、分野間の境界がますます曖昧になり、相互に連携することで新たなイノベーションが生まれることを意味しています。基礎研究を土台とし、境界領域の研究に挑む基礎・境界ソサイエティへの期待は、これまで以上に高まっています。しかし、深い基礎的研究を進めることや、境界領域に本質的な変革をもたらすことは簡単ではありません。地道で継続的な努力を通じて、研究の深化と融合を図る必要があります。そのためには、研究会間の連携を強化し、活発な議論の場を提供することが重要です。また、研究会や論文誌を通じた成果発信をさらに推進する必要があります。私自身、複数の研究会で発表経験や近しい分野の研究者との議論を通じて、基礎研究や境界領域研究の奥深さと難しさを実感しました。また、電子広報担当幹事や論文誌の編集委員・幹事・委員長などの経験を通じて、このソサイエティが扱う研究の多様性や、情報発信の難しさを痛感しました。ソサイエティの皆様からお知恵を頂きながら、さらに活発な議論と力強い情報発信を実現する環境作りに取り組みたいと考えています。

The recent recognition of Nobel Prizes awarded to researchers in information science highlights the increasingly blurred boundaries between fundamental and applied science, as well as across different fields. Innovations often arise from these fundamental and intersections of research fields. This underscores the growing expectations placed on ESS. However, driving deep, fundamental research and initiating transformative changes in these boundary domains are challenging tasks that require sustained effort and time to deepen and integrate diverse research areas. To effectively support these efforts, ESS must foster stronger collaborations among research groups, provide opportunities for dynamic discussions, and actively disseminate research findings through technical meetings and publications. Personally, I have had the privilege of presenting my research at several technical meetings, where engaging in discussions with researchers from related fields helped me better understand both the depth and potential of domain. Additionally, through my experiences as an editor, director, and editor-in-chief of IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals, I have come to strongly feel the difficulty and importance of disseminating research results, and I am convinced of the potential of our society. With the collective wisdom of our society’s members, I aim to cultivate an environment that inspires more vigorous discussions and drives impactful research outcomes.
Mitsugu Iwamoto received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1999, 2001, and 2004, respectively. In 2004, he joined the University of Electro-Communications, where he is currently a Professor of Department of Informatics. In IEICE, he served as Secretary and Assistant Secretary, Technical Committee on Information Theory (2014-16), Director, Publicity (2013-15), Director, IEICE Trans. Fundamentals (Japanese Edition) (2018-19), and Editor-in-Chief, IEICE Transactions on IEICE Trans. Fundamentals (2023, Japanese Edition in 2022-23). He is a member of IEEE and IACR.
