Speech / Workshop

Who should be responsible for archiving (long term preservation) e- journals? Publishers and libraries̶the central parties to this issue̶rather than third-party organizations, have teamed up and encouraged related organizations around the world to realize CLOCKSS. The workshop introduces its activities and vision, and how it will be expanded in Japan.

What power do information infrastructures have? Our lives change every day because of the power of information. External experts and researchers at NII will discuss what kind of advancement there could be in the near future, and how the activities of NII can contribute to that advancement.

Analyzing (planar) road network for GPS

Ken-ichi KAWARABAYASHI Why can we get very quick updated information from Car navigation systems (using GPS)?? This is partially because road map has a planar structure.In this talk, we will survey recent progress on theoretical aspect of planar network, and its applications to date update.

Principles of Informatics

15:15～15:30

Hiroshi HOSOBEIn software development, we ordinarily specify how to solve a problem by computer. Therefore, a more complex problem makes software development more difficult, and also causes a higher possibility of errors. In constraint programming, we develop software by declaring the conditions that should be satisfied by the answer of a problem, instead of how to solve the problem. In this talk, we overview constraint programming technology and its applications, as well as showing our research results.

Information for Everybody

Mayumi BONOInformation technology has changed many aspects of the daily interactions experienced by deaf people in Japan. For instance, text-messaging services such as those provided by pocket beepers and mobile phones allow deaf individuals to travel at their own discretion rather than wait at home for fax responses. Indeed, the development of telecommunication technologies is expected to increase the opportunities available for deaf individuals to participate in social activities using their mother tongue, Japanese Sign Language (JSL). The goals of this research project involve: (1) establishing a cooperative information environment in which deaf and hearing people can come together to discuss important issues, and (2) formulating organizational guidelines that enable this environment to be maximally useful for all participants.

17:15～17:30

Does Internet narrowpolitical knowledge gap?

Tetsuro KOBAYASHI It is widely known that political knowledge promotes political participation. It underpins the importance of whether Internet use narrows or widens the existing political knowledge gap. Using a representative survey data of Tokyo metropolitan area collected right after 2009 HOR election, I show some empirical evidences that Internet use increases the level of political knowledge especially among less politically interested people, which contributes to narrowing political knowledge gap.

Nobukazu YOSHIOKA（GRACE Center）

NII provides academic cloud computing services which we can use with enough amounts of computer resources anytime and anywhere for research and education. Additionally, we provide physical space as an IT laboratory for creation of innovative future software integrating virtual services and physical services. In this presentation, we illustrate how to use the academic services to create future software.


12:10～12:25

Grammar as aMathematical Object

Makoto KANAZAWAThe mathematical study of grammars started in the 1950s for the dual purposes of describing human languages and of specifying the syntax of programming languages, but for the next 30 years or so was almost exclusively studied by computer scientists without much regard to its linguistic origin. About 20 years ago, the multiple context-free grammar was introduced to overcome the limitations of context-free grammar in describing some natural language constructions. Some important mathematical properties of this grammar formalism have only recently been uncovered. I will sketch some recent developments and open problems in this area.


12:30～12:45

Yuan SUNAs reform and globalization of universities required, a variety of “Rankings of World Universities” have been published and attracted a great deal of attention worldwide.However, there exists no “all-purpose” ranking. In this talk, after introducing current methodology and its limitations, future directions of university rankings will be discussed.

Video content-based retrieval is indispensable to access necessary information from broadcast videos or video archives in the internet. We are addressing video content-based retrieval for large-scale video archives via automatic extraction of video content information using video semantic analysis. This requires to solve so-called the bridging the semantic gap, which is known to be very challenging task, and we are tackling this issue using several techniques including image analysis, machine learning, and information retrieval. We will demonstrate our video search engine enabled by our research outcome.

Digital Content and Media Sciences Isao ECHIZEN

We propose a method to stop the re-shooting of pictures and videos displayed on screens using digital camcorders. Conventional digital watermarking technique involves embedding content ID into images and videos which helps to identify the place and time where the actual content was shot. However, digital watermarking technology does not control reshooting of digital content using camcorders. The proposed method is to stop re-shooting of pictures and videos by corrupting the recorded content by adding invisible noise signal using CCD or CMOS devices during recording. In this way, recorded content will be unusable. To validate the result of this proposed method, we developed a functional prototype system for the re-shooting prevention and implemented it on a 100-inch cinema screen.

Although Internet has been accelerating the globalization of information society there still exists a barrier in daily activities in education and business. WebELS provides an advanced e-Learning/ e-Communication platform to be used in distance education and distance meeting as a cloud service open platform without any special software and hardware. High performance video conferencing with high quality slide presentation is at your hand using an usual PC under a low speed Internet, in addition to useful on-demand self learning feature.


Simulation of human-robot society in virtualenvironment

How to access large-scalevideo archive?

Tetsunari INAMURA

SIGVerse is an open software platform in order to design and investigate symbiosis society by human and robot. Multiple users can design robot agent and throw it in virtual environments to make social interaction. This system is world’s first simulator that can integrate simulations of 1) physical motion and behavior, 2) vision, auditory and kinesthetic sense perception, and 3) social interaction. One of the most distinguishing applications of the simulator is to investigate physical and social interaction such as eye contact/gesture based communication.

Intelligent Transport System (ITS) strategies can significantly reduce CO2 emissions of vehicles. However, there is currently no low-cost yet effective method to investigate the impact of energy-saving ITS measures on driving behavior. Further, there is no convenient collaboration platform to compare the results of such “green” ITS strategies at an international level. Therefore, we implemented OpenEnergySim, an online multi-user three-dimensional (3D) simulation space, which can serve two functions in one single consistent environment: (1) visualization of microscopic traffic and CO2 emissions, and (2) immersive driving of users in a simulated traffic network, where ITS measures can be applied and tested interactively. OpenEnergySim can provide a unique platform for green ITS which fosters international collaboration and facilitates harmonization of models in the transport domain. We closely collaborate with the Advanced Mobility Research Center (ITS Center), Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo.

Digital Content and Media Sciences Helmut PRENDINGER

OpenScienceSim hosts examples of collaborative visualization and data exploration in the areas of molecular science and astrophysics, based on the 3D Internet. The 3D Internet is an infrastructure for real-time, live collaboration in distributed online 3D virtual worlds. The presented applications use OpenSimulator open source server software as the simulation environment. The demo will showcase the key role of NII's Cyber Science Infrastructure (CSI), in particular its grid capabilities, based on NAREGI, for generating simulations in the field of molecular dynamics. Our demo aims to implement the notion of "democratization of e-Science", where anyone can easily benefit from a HPC environment, from anywhere, anytime. In addition, we show the integration of BALLView, a popular single-user software for molecular modeling and dynamics, and OpenScienceSim. The unique aspect of our framework is that it allows one to experience the results of supercomputing interactively and immersively in the virtual world.

In brain research, it is important to correlate the neural networks and areas in the brain with their activities. By using Zebrafish as a vertebrate model, specific structures, regions or neural networks inside of the brain are genetically labeled and visualized based on gene expression patterns since many genes are expressed in such restricted areas in the brain. The result of this process is a series of pictures, in which cross sections of the brain are shown and specific areas are highlighted. These pictures serve as the medium for research discussion and annotation. However, by using such a method only, it is difficult to determine the 3D boundary of the region of interest and much more difficult to share the results of those analyses with other experts to deepen discussion. To solve these two issues, we propose the use of virtual worlds as a platform for displaying 3D representations of Zebrafish brain in a virtual space, thereby allowing researchers to discuss the results in real time.

The OpenBSLab (Open Bio-safety Lab) is a virtual environment for learning to handle hazardous substances in a Bio-safety Lab (BSL), which is being developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID). Handling and management of pathogens are an important part of basic infectious disease education, which is required for further strengthening the response capability to bio-terror crises in recent years. It has been pointed out that specialized education of bio-risk management is necessary for handling infectious specimens in clinical practice and for researchers who conduct study on these specimens. Internationally, the establishment of education that fosters the ability to properly manage bio-risk is required for experimenters to continue research activities in perfect environments. Focusing on case studies of accidents and near misses, we developed OpenBSLab (Open Bio-safety Lab), an interactive immersive environment based on the 3D Internet (virtual worlds), which implements a self-learning method and is available anytime from anywhere.

With rapidly growing online sources aimed at encouraging and stimulating people’s discussions concerning public or social issues (news, blogs, discussion forums, etc.), there is a great need in development of computational tool for the analysis of people’s attitudes (emotions, judgments, appreciations). We are proposing a novel compositional approach aimed at automatic analysis of attitudes conveyed through text. To deeply analyze the attitude type, its strength, and confidence level of the expressed statement, the system relies on the compositionality principle, the rules elaborated for semantically distinct verb classes, and lexicon of sentiment-conveying terms, functional words, modifiers, and modal expressions. The method is capable of processing sentences of different complexity, including simple, compound, complex (with complement and relative clauses), and complex-compound sentences. This work is developed in collaboration with the University of Tokyo.



It is necessary for the safe and comfortable internet life to have the accurate knowledge about information security. This educational material provides 14 chapters of Flash made interactive stories with 4 university boys and girls characters to learn the appropriate solutions for information security measures with fun. The Working Group for Information Security Policy Promotion for National Universities and Institutions at NII are providing these educational materials for universities across the nation. Throughout the activities of publishing and promoting the Sample Policies for Information Security Measures, we are contributing for the improvement of information security.

■Let’s Hypothesize and Reason!　－ Inference-based Hypothesis-Finding for Systems Biology

201

We show a framework to discover unknown patterns, laws, and information from databases using logic-based Artificial Intelligence. Given a new observation, it is necessary to make a hypothesis that is accommodated to the existing knowledge. If such a hypothesis can, together with the background theory, logically derive the observation,

we can consider it as a possible explanation. In this research, we will clarify the principle of hypothesis formation and apply it to discovery of scientific knowledge. In particular, we aim at finding new rules in systems biology. Here we demonstrate our approaches to analyze metabolic pathways of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli.

■The evolution of multicellularity in animals　－ Genome sequencing project of a choanoflagellate, Monosiga ovata.

202

All extant animals are multicellular organisms that consist of many different types of cells. It is widely accepted that the multicellular common ancestor of animals was originated from a unicellular organism. Our research group has recently sequenced the genome of a unicellular choanoflagellate, Monosiga ovata, which is one of the closest

relatives to animals. In order to understand the relationship between the evolution of multicellularity in animals and the diversification of gene f ami l y members invo lved in ce l l - ce l l communica t ion and developmental controls of animals, we are now comparing the genome sequence of the choanoflagellate with those of several animals.

■Lambda-Calculus and Type Theory　－ TLCA Open Problem 20

203

This paper answers TLCA Open Problem 20, which is finding a type system that characterizes hereditary permutators. First this paper shows that there does not exist such a type system by showing that the set of hereditary permutators is not recursively enumerable.

Secondly this paper gives a best-possible solution by providing a countably infinite set of types such that a term has every type in the set if and only if the term is a hereditary permutator.

■How to handle large-scale data　－ String Processing with Compressed Full-text Indices

204

In order to search large scale documents and discover some knowledge form them, fast string processing is necessary. However, methods based on inverted files, which are used in Web search engines, do not support detailed search. Though detailed searches

are possible by using indices such as suffix arrays and suffix trees, there is a problem of large index size. In this research, we propose efficient string processing methods based on compressed full-text indices.

■Using quantum physics to solve difficult physical and computational problems.　－ Properties and applications of a polariton Bose-Einstein condensate

207

When many Bose particles enter a single quantum state, a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is formed. A BEC has the properties of a microscopic state, while being a macroscopic phenomenon. Due to many particles sharing the same state, it is also resistant to noise. Our group is

investigating the properties of BECs formed in a semiconductor quantum well. We have also proposed methods of using such a BEC to attack complex information and quantum physics problems. The posters will explain some experimental results and potential applications.

■How does a quantum computer look like in the future?　－ Computer architecture for large-scale quantum computation and quantum networks

209

A truly scalable quantum computer is the long-sought goal from the advances and developments of quantum information technologies. However, until recently, no one knew what such a large-scale quantum computer would look like or how it would operate. Here we consider the quantum analogue of High Per formance Computing, where a dedicated server farm is utilized by many users

to run algorithms and share quantum data. The scaling structure of photonics based topological cluster computing leads to an attractive future for server based quantum information processing, where dedicated mainframes can be constructed and/or expanded to serve an increasingly hungry user base with the ideal resource for individual quantum information processing. We call this the HPQC.

■A Fast Algorithm for Least Squares Problems　－ Inner-Outer Iteration Method for Least Squares Problems

210

Many problems arising in science, engineering and the social sciences reduce to least squares problems. Survey, control, signal processing, stat ist ical processing, image processing, and opt imizat ion are examples . We propose stable , fast , and memory-efficient algorithms for large-scale, ill-conditioned or

rank-deficient least squares problems. Our techniques employ Krylov subspace iterative methods as the outer iteration, and perform inner i terat ions as ‘precondit ioning’ in order to accelerate the convergence. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is faster than previous methods.

■Effective analysis of very large data sets　－ A Set Correlation Model for Partitional Clustering

304

Traditional clustering-based data discovery tools often fail when the data sets are very large or have many attr ibutes , or have performance parameters that are very difficult to tune in practice. We have developed a novel formulation for partitional data clustering that overcomes many of these difficulties, based on the generic Relevant Set Correlation (RSC) model. The new model,

GlobalRSC, resembles the famous K-means clustering heuristic, but with a shared-neighbor similarity measure instead of the Euclidean distance. Unlike K-means and most other clustering heuristics that can only work with real-valued data and distance measures taken from specific families, GlobalRSC has the advantage that it can work with any distance measure, and any data representation.

■Efficient retrieval of similar data items　－ Indices for Rank-Based Similarity Search

305

The similarity search problem, also known as the nearest-neighbor search problem, is defined as follows: given a collection of data objects, build a data structure which, for a given query object, returns a list of data objects most similar to the query. Similarity search is an operation of fundamental importance in many application areas,

including data mining, information retrieval, and multimedia databases. In this presentation we introduce an effective new similarity search structure, the rank cover tree (RCT), that blends the characteristics of three recent approaches: locality sensitive hashing (LSH), the cover tree, and the SASH hierarchical search structure.

■Tired of Incomplete, Hard to Read User Manuals? We, too!　－ Checking the Consistency of Documents

307

We demonstrate on a manual of a digital camera, how incomplete and inconsistent content of documents can be discovered automatically. The detected problems include inconsistent use of terminology, undefined abbreviat ions , and subject terms that are not well-explained. Moreover, the document's structure needs to meet

certain requirements. For instance, references must point to the correct location and relevant safety warnings must be presented ahead of operating instructions.In ten years, checking the consistency of content may be a standard feature of documentation software just as spell-checkers are today.

■Efficient retrieval of similar data items　－ Active Caching for Similarity Queries Based on Shared-Neighbor Information

306

Many search engines, recommender systems, and multimedia databases are designed to process similarity queries that produce ranked lists of objects as their results. Similarity queries typically result in disk access latency and incur a substantial computational cost. We propose an “active caching” technique for ranked list queries that is capable of synthesizing query results from cached

information even when the required result list is not explicitly stored in the cache. Our solution is based on shared-neighbor similarity measures, which assess the strength of the relationship between two objects as a function of the number of other objects in the common intersection of their neighborhoods.

■Bidirectional Transformation Makes Software Evolvable　－ Research on Software Development based on Bidirectional Model Transformation

321

Model transformations are a key element in the OMG's Model Driven Development agenda, providing a standard way to represent and transform software artifacts such as requirements, design models, program code, tests, configuration files, and documentation in software development. However, after a transformation is applied, the source and the target models usually co-exist and evolve

independently. How to propagate modifications correctly across models in different formats and guarantee system consistency remains an open problem. This work aims to solve this problem based on bidirectional model transformation. The success of the project would lead to a novel formal method for evolutionary software development, and a trusty tool for artifact synchronization.

■Graph transformation that can propagate modifications bidirectionally　－ Bidirectionalization of Graph Transformation and its Application to Bidirectional Model Transformation

323

Model transformation in model-driven software development plays an important role in formal treatment of development process. It has been considered difficult to realize in a systematic manner in the development process to compose larger transformation from small transformations and propagating modification to the model in both direction (not only

from source to destination but also backwards), due to the complexity in the process. We cope with this problem by bidirectionalizing an existing graph transformation language that is already compositional and has clear formal semantics. We added several syntax that are useful to describe primitive operations on graphs like replacing subgraph.

■Utilizing dataspaces　－ Context-Preserving XQuery Fusion

401

Fusion is a known technique for el iminating unnecessar y intermediate results that are created but then consumed during computation. Being useful for query optimization for many query languages such as SQL, fusion remains as a challenge for XQuery optimization. This is because XQuery has more complicated semantics; it is context sensitive and requires preservation of document order.In this presentation, we propose, as far as we are aware, the first XQuery fusion that can deal with both the document

order and the context of XQuery expressions. More specifically, we carefully design a context representation of XQuery expressions based on the Dewey order encoding, develop a context-preserving XQuery fusion for ordered trees by static emulation of the XML store, and prove that our fusion is correct. Our XQuery fusion has been implemented and successfully applied to the multi-step schema mapping, in which fusion is particularly necessary for reducing execution cost of redundant node creations.

We present a method for range image registration of specular objects devoid of salient geometric properties under complex lighting environment. We propose to use illumination consistency on two range images to detect specular highlights, which are used to obtain diffuse reflection components. By using light information estimated from the specular highlights and the diffuse reflection components, we extract photometric features invariant to changes

in pose and illumination, even under unknown complex lighting environment. We then robustly register the two range images using these features . This technique can handle var ious k ind of illumination situations and can be applied to a wide range of materials . Our experiments using synthetic data show the effectiveness, the robustness and the accuracy of our proposed method.

■Associative Search for Everyone　－ A Associative Search Engine GETAssocGETAssoc is a new associative retrieval engine, specializing in search tasks. Because GETAssoc has been created with the most frequently used functions in searching at its core, associative search applications for various purposes can now be created easier and with more flexibility. Furthermore, GETAssoc has a built in associative

search interface "Ren!", so users can install and search a database without writing any code. Though the installed database may be accessed only from the local site, but the database virtually becomes a member of public databases.

■Information for Everybody　－ Establishing a cooperative information environment based on interaction analysis

411

Information technology has changed many aspects of the daily interactions experienced by deaf people in Japan. For instance, text-messaging services such as those provided by pocket beepers and mobile phones allow deaf individuals to travel at their own discretion rather than wait at home for fax responses. Indeed, the development of telecommunication technologies is expected to increase the opportunities available for deaf individuals to

participate in social activities using their mother tongue, Japanese Sign Language (JSL). The goals of this research project involve: (1) establishing a cooperative information environment in which deaf and hearing people can come together to discuss important issues, and (2) formulating organizational guidelines that enable this environment to be maximally useful for all participants.

■Matching Abstract Terms in Laws with Each System and Organization　－ Legal Interpretation Management and Tracking: for Requirements Engineering and by Requirements Engineering

413

Alignment of system requirements and operational policies, regarding laws, is getting more and more essential. As laws provide only abstract , general statements, i t is necessary for each organization to carefully examine concrete implications of such general statements on its own contexts by tracking latest legal interpretations. This work presents framework, called LIMT, for

modeling and analysis of legal interpretations, constructed by RE (requirements engineering) approaches while used for RE approaches. The framework allows for identifying relevant instances of legal concepts in the target system while tracking common and conventional interpretations, which are gradually identified through appearance of court cases.

■Speech Data and Speech Research　－ Collecting and creating speech corpora with applications to speech research

501

A large amount of speech data of various kinds is required for speech research such as speech recognition and speech synthesis. Many speech databases or corpora have been developed by various projects in Japan, but it was difficult to maintain and control them after the project. We have initiated “Speech Resources Consortium

(SRC)” to collect such unused data in the universities and create new data in order to distribute them to potential users. The SRC aims to contribute to the development of information society through these activities.

■Solutions for coping with privacy and usability　－ Privacy-compliant Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

417

After Mainframe and Client-Server computing, Cloud computing is the next computing paradigm. The main difference is that individuals and enterprises make use of services out of the Cloud via a web browser, share computing power and data storage. The data disclosure from users to software service providers of the Cloud

raises privacy risks. Users cannot enforce the agreed-upon privacy policy. In this article we propose a privacy system for an ex post enforcement of a privacy policy. Our proposal is to observe disclosures of personal data to third parties by data provenance using digital watermarking.

■Semantic digital library on European Integration Process　－ Enhancement of semantic management of digital library on European Integration Process.

416

The Semantic Digital library attempts to break the barrier of objects of information representation in order to integrate and share digital library resources in a way that is understandable by computers and intelligent sof tware agents in addition to humans. Despite widespread efforts, the development of Semantic Digital Library is

still in an early age. We aim to contribute to this area by developing Collective Intelligence-based ontologies to enhance Collective Intelligence management of semantic digital library and enhancing digital library reference models.Case studies are focussing on the Digital Library on the European Integration Process (www.ena.lu).

■Connecting the world with immersive video communication　－ research on video compression and wireless transport

418

Due to exploding popularity of portable yet powerful devices like smart phones and Apple's iPad, it is forecasted that traffic to wireless devices (bulk of in being video-based services) will increase 66 folds by 2013. At the same time, new immersive video communication systems, using images captured synchronously by multiple cameras at different viewpoints, have promised exciting interactive experiences for users, but at the cost of significantly larger encoding rate. The

technical challenge is hence how to compress multi-dimensional video and transport them over wireless networks to provide new immersive video communication services anywhere. In this research, we investigate solutions for this challenge in three vectors; i) efficient 3D video compression for depth-image-based rendering (DIBR); ii) cooperative peer-to-peer repair (CPR) for video communication; and iii) video customization for interactive video experience.

■How Computer Learn from Text　－ Extraction of Subjectivity from Texts and Supporting Rewrite

507

Information access technologies has focused on the facts or objective topics in the texts to date. However, for more effective information access, investigations on (1) identification and extraction of subjectivity, attitude and affection from text, (2) differentiate facts and opinion, (3) analysis of types of subjectivity,

polarity, and strength, (4) generating and rewriting the texts understandable for the users, are critical. We have investigated on identification and extraction of various types of subjectivity and its application for information access systems such as information retrieval and summarization

■Mining university-industry collaboration information from web pages　－ University-Industry Collaborations in Academic Websites　－ an Exploratory Analysis of Links from Universities to Industrial domains －

504

As part of measurement of university-industry collaborations, we investigates the potential of web links to act as an indicator of collaboration. There are a lot of possibilities for universities to have links with industries, and the majority of the web links to industry

domains on a university web page do not reflect a collaboration between the university and industry. We attempted to specify links reflecting collaborative relationships by taking account of information in anchor texts of links. The results and findings will be shown.

■How Users Seek Information　－ User Interface for Multi-Faceted Flexible Information Access towards Exploratory and Learning

506

Information access towards large amount of recorded information now became an ordinary life problem and various high-speed and highly effective search engines have been developed and made available for the society. However, one of the critical problems in information access is users often can not specify their information

needs as a query or sometimes it is impossible to express it by verbal query. We have investigated (1) Users’ cognitive process and behav ior in informat ion seek ing on the Web, and (2) the multi-faceted graphical user interfaces for flexible access to the information contents to support the users’ search and browsing.

■Speech Data and Speech Research　－ Visualization of multiple speech corpora by MDS

502

Speech corpora or databases have been demanded according to the development of speech research. NII-Speech Resources Consortium (SRC) and related organizations have created and distributed various speech corpora. It means that the user has obtained multiple choices of corpus selection, while on the other hand, they have to select a good corpus for

the intended purpose from great variety of corpora. In order for users to utilize various corpora easily, we propose a new classification method based on corpus attributes which show corpus characteristics. It analyzes and visualizes the relationship and similarities mostly among Japanese speech corpora and tries to visualize speech corpora needed by the users.

■Welcome to Science2.0　－ Researchmap.jp: an information sharing platform for the researchers

513

National Institute of Informatics launches a new web service, Researchmap, in 2009. Researchmap is an information sharing platform for the researchers. The user of Researchmap obtains three virtual spaces of the different access levels. The first one is called“My Portal”which can be used as his/her homepage. The second one is called“My Room”which is meant for his/her virtual private space which is not accessible by anyone else. The last one is called

“Community”which can be used as collaborative working/learning space with other member researchers. Researchmap provides more than 30 portlet applications including Curriculum Vitae, Weblog, Cabinet and Video Sharing. The user can arrange the portlet applications on a given page by drag-and-drop manner: the user can arrange them intuitively just as he/she arranges his/her room to express himself/herself.

■Mobile phone use and social trust among youth　－ Mobile phone use and the scope of social perspective: Why and how mobile phone use correlates with social trust?

509

Based on the previous findings that mobile phone texting increases the homogeneity of personal networks among youth, it may be possible that the heavy use of mobile phone texting among peers limit the scope of “most people” to intimate friends, which makes the level of trust seemingly high. On the basis of these concern,

using a nationally representative survey data of Japanese youth(8 to 18 yrs old; n=1002, RR=59%), I will present some findings about how mobile phone texting can correlate with social trust through limiting the scope of general others (“most people” in social trust scale) into narrower circles.

■Possibility of OPAC cloud　－ Role of library and the next generation Internet

510

Using OPAC to find books in library greatly increased usability of libraries. Institutional repository as electronic archive helps improvement of research and educational environment. Roles of the both systems are similar, but there are some differences, such as

technologies utilized by them. For example, institutional repositories have metadata harvesting function. On the other hand, most of OPACs are unable to harvest metadata. Further improvement in usability of both systems was investigated from the viewpoint of technology.

■Disfluency in gesture!? - When microslip occurs.　－ A study on microslip with gesture in social interaction.

511

When we speak spontaneously, we sometimes produce disfluent utterances unwittingly. Disfluency is not unique to speech, however. It can be observed with gesture, too. In this study, we focused on special type of disfluency called microslips, and we

examined when they occurred in social interaction. The results of preliminary analysis suggest that microslip occurs 1)when the speaker changes direction of the gaze, and 2) when s/he changes the view point of gesture.

■How to make good “Ma” feeling ?　－ The effects of perceptual information in finger tapping movement task between people

604

In our daily communication, it is important to make good interval, “Ma”. However, its mechanism is not clear. We suppose that the process of coordination between speech and gesture among peoplecontributes to success of it. And it is also important to perceive non-verbal behaviors of others, gazing, nodding, voice, and any

other body movements. To investigate this idea, we require participants to tap their fingers ‒ finger tapping experiment, analyze the stabil ity of each movement patterns, and suggest the importance of perceptual information.

■Radio Resource Management　－ Distributed Resource Allocation in Network MIMO Systems

603

Advanced wireless transmission technology try to fully exploit the wireless resource from time, frequency, space dimension etc. adaptive distributed resource allocation recently has been identified as a key technology for aggressively exploiting potential degree of freedom on the behalf of the whole network. In our work, a distributed resource-allocation approach, which jointly adapts

intra-cell wireless resource allocation and inter-cell coordination to mit igate interference, is proposed for mult i -cel l network multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Numerical results show that significant power and performance gains are achievable, compared with non-adaptive systems.

■Breaking the trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency in web search　－ An effective and efficient web search engine supporting informational queries

602

The current web search engines are highly effective for navigational queries which intend to reach particular web pages that the users have in mind. However, due to their use of simple boolean retrieval models, they are poorly effective for informational queries which intend to acquire some information concerning certain topics assumed to be present on one or more web pages. In order to

support informational queries it is crucial to adopt content-based retrieval models which have been studied extensively in the IR research area and have been shown to be highly effective for informational queries, although time-consuming and expensive. We aim to propose a method to improve the efficiency of those models to the extent that they can be adopted in web search engines.
