My current work includes a national project called "Next Generation Backbone",
but I am interested in
developing a new voice-communication medium called
voiscape, which can be more widely used than telephone or conference systems.
My work until March, 2002 was on active networks
(computing networks), policy-based networking, and
internet QoS (quality of service). Until around March 1999, I have been
studying and developing methods for searching and reorganizing
information placed on the Internet, e.g., WWW or online encyclopaedia,
especially on
"thematic search" / "axis-specified search".
I believe my lifework that connects most of the above researches is "fusion of analog
and digital", or "fusion of symbols and subsymbols".
These research-related information can be accessed through
"research themes overview" or
"research topics".
My paper list is in "paper summary".
Recently, I started a blog.
This blog contains information not limited to my research, but it contains much less
information than the Japanese version.
