[Statement] The Engineering Sciences Society (ESS) promotes science and technology in fields of fundamentals and frontiers of ICT. It comprises about 20 technical committees covering the fields, half of which form several sub-societies to enhance interactions between them. Recently, the former sub-society on Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications promoted to the NOLTA Society, and ESS is working with NOLTA to enhance activities in both societies.
As a leading society in charge of ICT fundamentals and frontiers in IEICE, we should move forward to (1) making technical committees and sub-societies in ESS more visible to the global science and technology communities, besides ESS itself, and (2) updating journal platforms of publishing IEICE Trans. Fundamentals and others from ESS to cope with, and further take a leadership role towards Open Science in modern information dissemination based on ICT. If elected, I will endeavor to do my best in establishing such a sustainable way with challenging those new missions.
