Recently, risk management for the disasters such as earth quick, mountain explosion, seismic sea wave, in addition to ordinal disasters, such as typhoon, rain flooding and snow-slide has been seriously considered to keep the safety for the residents in many countries. More reliable and robust information systems than the conventional business or research oriented information networks must be constructed to normally and correctly perform their functions for residents even though serious disasters have happened. We propose a unified wide area disaster information network (WDN) using Internet based on the combination of both wired and wireless networks. The system requirements and their functions of WDN are precisely defined and the various types of information for residents are precisely defined. The prototype system of the disaster information system based on our suggested WDN was built to demonstrate and evaluate its functionality. Through the practical training in the local city for preparation of mountain explosion, we could confirm the usefulness of our suggested system.

Web service technologies promise to facilitate collaboration among business partners by helping potential business partners find one another and integrate their business processes to do business. Daunting challenges however exist before the full potential of Web services can be realized. Indexing mechanisms for complex workflows are needed for example to be able to efficiently search and match business partners on the basis of compatible workflows. Business collaborations invariably comprise multiple-parties, and the process of aggregating workflows belonging to different parties to establish a global agreement in an ad-hoc manner presents another challenge. We also need to consider the decision problem how to determine, during the setting-up of a global agreement, whether some services must be fulfilled by the same provider or not. We highlight these challenges and propose possible solutions.

With the advance of multicast technologies, source-specific multicast (SSM) has been introduced as a feasible communication model. In the IPv6 environment, since many kinds of equipment can be connected to the Internet as regular end-nodes and assume multicast communication in general, considering the scalability proposed by SSM is very valuable. Regarding an SSM communication over IPv6, an implementation of Multicast Listener Discovery version 2 (MLDv2) on every end-node is indispensable as well as on every router. One of the most concerning points of MLDv2 is its complexity, therefore it may delay the SSM deployment due to its implementation cost. In view of this fact, having an effective and accurate MLDv2 reference implementation is urged and desired for multicast deployment. In this document, we illustrate MLDv2 host-side implementation, mainly the most complex Multicast Source Filtering (MSF) procedure, applied to 4.4BSD kernel. While presenting the implementation concept, design, and logic, we evaluate the behaviors of our implementation. In addition, a performance investigation is also mentioned.

Osaka University has an ultra-high voltage electron microscope (UHVEM) which can provide high quality specimen images for worldwide researchers. For usability improvements, we have worked on telecontrol of the UHVEM. We introduce a part of our activities on the telecontrol of the UHVEM. In order to remotely control the microscope, we must provide high quality dynamic images of the specimen with low latency to the remote site. We have used DVTS for image transfer. In iGrid2002, we transported DV streams over global IPv6 networks from the UHVEM in Osaka, Japan, to the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research in San Diego and iGrid2002 conference venue in Amsterdam, Holland. This experiment shows the availability of current IPv6 networks and the new possibility of future IPv6 networks. We also describe our current telecontrol system and future work.

Service oriented computing and peer-to-peer (P2P) computing are emerging technologies which provide, from the architectural point of view, scalability and flexibility. From their properties both architectures are quite similar e.g. in both architectures no-one has a complete system overview and no central administration exists. Besides other challenges, this leads to the question of how data can be stored reliably in P2P and service oriented environments. In this paper we analyze and discuss the requirements as well as the challenges and give an outlook on our research activities which address the identified problems.

The transformations of the business environment have led to the emergence of new business reality. Business processes are dynamic as never before. Solely participants able to take snap decisions have a chance to survive and, what is more important, generate some benefits. Moreover, the pressure to apply IT solutions forces companies to permanent search for the state-of-the-art technologies. It becomes, thus, necessary to support business processes with a tool that is able to inform, co-operate, act fast as well as replace a human in many business situations. Artificial intelligence (AI) based systems constitute the solution fulfilling such requirements. Quite recently AI started playing significant role in e-commerce world. Its new form is not the monolithic system of the past, but distributed artificial intelligence, known as intelligent agent technology. This technology is the next step in dealing with some shortcomings in e-commerce. However, successful computer systems underlying e-commerce require judgement and the knowledge of experts such as buyers, contract negotiators as well as marketing specialists.

XCAST6: eXplicit Multicast on IPv6 is a new type of multicast datagram delivery system that enables multipoint visual communications, the killer-applications of the next-generation Internet. In the last decade, using the current scheme of group-address multicast, a good number of useful applications was developed and tested. However, the deployment of the multicast was very slow. XCAST6 solves these problems embedding an explicit list of destinations into the extension routing header of the IPv6 datagram. Intermediate routers may duplicate and forward the datagram only searching one's unicast routing tables. Moreover, using a semi-permeable capsule technique, users can ensure the reachability of the datagram. Deploying a very few number of XCAST6 routers, we could have operated the multi-point video conference trial on the academic IPv6 network among Japan, North America and Korea to prove employability and usefulness of XCAST6.

Summary form only given. Metadata for e-learning has existed for several years. Currently several widely implemented e-learning metadata standards exist including IEEE Learning Object Metadata (IEEE-LOM), SCORM, IMS, and GEM. The presentation will provide an overview of the major e-learning metadata initiatives, with a focus on the Gateway to Educational Materials, whose foundation is Dublin Core metadata, and the activities of the Dublin Core Education Working Group. GEM began in 1996 when the National Library of Education Task Force recommended using library and information science theory and technology to improve access to the large number of distributed collections of uncataloged education materials found on the Internet. GEM solved this resource discovery problem by extending and qualifying Dublin Core metadata so that it better describes education resources. GEM also developed many of the tools, such as a metadata generating and editing module and harvesting applications, needed to implement the project. Currently over 25,000 metadata records for GEM Consortium member resources are searchable through www.thegateway.org, providing educators with fast and efficient access to Internet-based educational resources. GEM metadata is also used by several organizations to organize and provide access to their education resources. GEM's research agenda includes metadata interoperability, registry services, OAI harvesting protocol, improving access to resources mapped to academic standards. Research partners included OCLC, Education Network Australia (EdNA), McREL, and the Center for Natural Language Processing at Syracuse University. GEM's next version of The Gateway will use RDF-XML metadata. GEM is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, and is located at the Information Institute of Syracuse at Syracuse University. In 1999, the Dublin Core Education Working Group was formed, with the objective to discuss and develop a proposal for the use of Dublin Core metadata in the description of education resources. The 2002-2003 workplan includes the development of an IEEE LTSC LOM and DCMI application profile, and vocabulary development.
