［所信表明］

情報通信技術の世界的な進歩とともに、学会の重要な役割である研究成果の発表・共有・評価の仕組みも、メジャーなプレプリントサーバーの出現やオンラインジャーナルのオープンアクセス化、さらにジャーナルや国際会議のランキングに基づく論文の格付け重視、といった流れによって大きく変わっています。このような変化に伴い、情報・システムソサイエティ分野の研究者・技術者が持つ学会に対する期待も大きく変化し多様化しています。私は、このように多様な要望や期待に十分対応できるように本ソサイエティの学会機能の強化に取り組み、情報通信技術の発展に貢献していきたいと考えています。研究会については、各研専が参加者の要望に合わせた新しい開催方式を試行して新しい研究の創出を活性化してきた近年の流れをさらに加速させるとともに、各研専の考え方に柔軟に対応できる運営をしたいと思います。出版事業や大会事業については、信学会のソサイエティ間の密接な情報共有・相互理解のもと、各ソサイエティ会員の満足を最大化できるように取り組んでいきたいと思います。

［Statement］

Along with the worldwide advance of information and communication technology, the mechanism of publication, sharing, and evaluation of research results, which is an important role of academic societies, has changed greatly due to the emergence of major preprint servers, open access of online journals, and emphasis on the ranking of papers based on the ranking of journals and international conferences. As a result of these changes, the expectations of researchers and engineers in the field of IEICE-ISS toward academic societies have changed and diversified. I would like to contribute to the development of information and communication technology by working to strengthen the academic functions of IEICE-ISS in order to fully meet such diverse requests and expectations. Regarding to the technical committee meetings, I would like to manage the meeting in a way that can respond flexibly to the consideration of each technical committee, by accelerate the new way of holding TC meetings that each TC has started in the past. With regard to the publication and the conference of IEICE, we will work to create an attractive event that maximizes the satisfaction of each member of IEICE based on close information sharing and mutual understanding among the society and group of IEICE.
