This symposium consists of general lectures with rigorous peer review as approximately 3 times of selection ratio and a hundred and several tens of interactive presentations, and since all of those are well received, the symposium has been developed as gather-ing over 600 participants in recent years. At Interaction 2012, it gathered approximately 700 participants with the theme of “In-teraction that leads to future” while executed the reformation to change the number of paper pages for interactive presentation from 2-4 pages to 6 pages as a fundamental rule, and then pre-sented 18 general lectures and 154 interactive presentations (in-cluding demonstration of general lecturers). Since studies in re-lation to interaction make rapid progress, it is extremely impor-tant to provide an opportunity for timely discussion culture. For that reason, a special edition for interaction was set in accordance with Interaction 2012 and provided an opportunity to immedi-ately make available in public as extensively collecting presentation papers and related studies for Interaction 2012. 25 outstanding papers among 43 papers submitted for the event were selected and recorded while the author who served as a program committee chairperson of Interaction 2012 became a guest editor and main program committee members for Interaction 2012 as well as those who are deeply related to interaction study became editing committee members. However, the presentations of 10 papers assessed as outstanding by the Interaction 2012 program committee were selected as recommended papers. The break-down was 8 papers from general lecture presentations (top 18.6% for the number of submitted papers) and 2 interactive presentations (top 1.3% for the number of submitted papers). Those papers could be selected and recorded in","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"21 1","pages":"272-273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2197/IPSJJIP.21.272","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68500310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is not always easy to take self-portraits using conventional user interfaces. This paper presents a vision-based head gesture interface for controlling a self-portrait camera that helps users to take self-portraits effectively and efficiently. Intu- itive nodding and head-shaking gestures control the camera zoom in/out on the face, and a mouth-opening gesture triggers the camera to take a picture. We evaluated its usability factors (effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction) and compared it to a remote control in a user study. The results suggest that our interface is useful for taking self-portrait pictures.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1140-1153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63627066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the building of strong programs as the prime objective, game research has provided important contributions in a wide variety of research areas such as search, planning, machine learning, specialized hardware and the study of cognitive processes involved in game playing. On the other hand, in Japan traditionally prominent games like shogi and Go have been recognized as the next research targets after chess and are attracting a lot of attention from researchers around the world as well as from researchers inside Japan. The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of the latest results in game programming research. Relevant topics include the current state of game playing programs, algorithms for solving puzzles, programs for creating puzzles, cognitive processes of game players, learning of game strategic knowledge, video games, online games, applications of game theory regarding the analysis of human behavior, multi-agent games (for example, soccer), the analysis of the history of games using computers, the development of new games using computers, specialized hardware for game playing programs, systems supporting the mastering of games by human players, and any other topics that are related to game programming. We had sixteen submissions. After the due date of the paper submission, 20th February 2012, we had three editorial meetings, the first one on 28th February 2012, the second one on 1st May 2012, the last one on 17th July 2012.

However, the network services are always changing and evolving. Much kind of devices are getting connected to the network services, e.g., not only workstations and PCs, but also mobile phones, smartphones, home electronics, sensors, and so on. Moreover, network services now come to provide a space for communications like social network in addition to the traditional one-to-one or one-to-many communications such as e-mail or Web. Besides, new paradigms for the construction method of network services other than simple client-server are suggested like overlay-network, cloud computing, and so on. To keep the evolutions on the network services, cross-disciplinary study and forward-thinking study are required, in addition to the advancement of traditional network infrastructure, services, and applications. More specifically, the following innovative components including several new insights should be considered: e.g. smart network services based on the sensors and actuators, useroriented and context-aware content distribution services, collaboration environments based on large scale knowledge sharing, social deployment issues treating privacy and security, communication services under severe environment for wireless network such as rural areas, sparse device distribution areas, etc. The future of the network services can be actually achieved by harmonious integration between these new components and the existing network technologies, from physical layer of the network to application layer, treating much kind of technological and social issues. The aim of this special issue is to investigate trends and promote the research area such as network platform technologies, service construction technologies, application technologies, new generation multimedia/distributed computing, and so on. Mainly the committee members from Special Interest Group on Distributed Processing System (IPSJ SIG-DPS) formed the editorial committee of this special issue as below.
