This special section focuses on original Hirotaka Ono (Kyushu University) work by students and young researchers within all research areas Hideaki Kanai (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and of our society (IPSJ). Technology) One of the most important mission of our IPSJ is to promote ac­ Nahomi Kikuchi (Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.) tivities by students and young researchers who will lead the next Ryozo Kiyohara (Kanagawa Insutitute of Technology) generation. Cutting-edge technologies in information processing Masashi Kiyomi (Yokohama City University) have achieved by young researchers' hard and steady work. It is Hitoshi Koshiba (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, of benefit to our society that young researchers are sustainably Science and Technology) fostered and trained. Timely and speedy publication of research Kazunori Komatani (Osaka University) outcomes by young researchers will not only contribute to the Takamichi Saito (Meiji University) progress of information science but will help the researchers to Daisuke Sakamoto (The University of Tokyo) get good positions and generous grants.
