  • Information and Control Systems
    Volume 65 Number 5 June 2016 Information and Control Systems www.hitachi.com/rev Volume 65 Number 5 June 2016 From the Editor The social system challenges that have come to prominence in recent years include global warming, insufficient maintenance of aging infrastructure, a low birth rate, and an aging population. Meanwhile, the Internet of things (IoT), which connects numerous devices to networks, has made rapid advances that are giving rise to a trend toward its use in the creation of new societies, markets, and ecosystems. Examples include initiatives aimed at new forms of manufacturing, with the announcement in November 2011 of Industrie 4.0, a joint strategic initiative by industry, academia, and government that is led by the German government. The Industrial Internet Consortium launched by General Electric Company of the USA and four other companies in March 2014 now has more than 200 member companies, and is developing new products, processes, and services through demonstration projects called “testbeds.” Japan, too, has seen considerable activity aimed at achieving new growth through open innovation with the establishment of such organizations as the Robot Revolution Initiative and the IoT Acceleration Consortium. Hitachi has a track record of developing information and control systems for important social platforms intended to maintain a sustainable global and social environment. We build safe and secure products and systems, placing top priority on ensuring reliability. We are also working on the development of systems based on the symbiotic autonomous decentralization concept first announced by this journal in May 2012 to utilize the advances achieved by the IoT to create the social infrastructure of the future.
