Live E! project will be holding an experiment of Participatory Sensing using Android mobile phone. Participants located in remote sites are also participating in this experiment.
What is "Participatory Sensing"?
The main concept of “Participatory Sensing” is that regard a human which has a mobile sensor as a weather station. Installations of weather stations is a heavy task and the cost is also expensive for developing countries. On the other hand, almost all people have a mobile phone which has connectivity to the internet.
If your mobile phone has weather sensors, you can get data of weather information from where you are. You become a sensor!! Sensed data in where you walk is collected automatically in your daily life. If many people in a city had such a smart sensing platform, we can easily collect sensed data of a whole area of the city. That is an advantage of “Participatory Sensing”.

Asia and Japan are un-separable. Although the past is full of discord and conflict among the Asian nations, the problems we face now suggest that there is so much more to share to let the past interfere with the efforts for policy collaborations.
The 13 "Asian issues" offer the ground for such collaborations. A Kyoto University and a Keio University lecture in tandem raise the issue at each session, inviting the students to challenge their on thinkings on the matter. The participants, away from Kyoto-Keio nexus and from the sights in Asia, will voice their opinions through the "distant-learning" system.

SOI Asia IPv6-only Network One-day Workshop 2007
The time has come for us to do another major change in the operation
of our network, which is to start IPv6 only operation. In this
operation, SOI Asia will use only IPv6 in class operations, and
partner sites will use IPv6 to access the Internet. The objWe have
been building the momentum for IPv6 only operation for several
years. We introduced IPv6 operation in 1999 with our AI3 6Bone test
bed. In SOI Asia, we started to introduce IPv6 to the operators with
the SOI Asia Advanced Operators Workshop 2004.
The momentum brings us the the next step: IPv6 operation in both
multicast and unicast. SOI Asia team has confirmed that class
operations can be done in IPv6, both the multicast and unicast. We
also have the means to access IPv4 Internet from IPv6 Internet.
As a step toward realizing the IPv6 only operation, we plan to hold
one-day workshops on how to migrate the current SOI Asia network for
the IPv6 only operation. We hope that at least one operator from each
partner will participate in this workshop so he/she can implement the
migration by September 2007.

BIOLOGICAL NETWORK by Keio University
The course focus on classroom lectures on the bio-molecules network and includes transcription factor on gene expression, RNA regulation, gene expression network, protein-protein interaction network, metabolism network. It is aimed to learn 'system-biology' approach to understand ultra-complex life systems. "Living cell system" is defined a self organized super-complex dynamic regulation system which provides regular life activity with processing and integration of biological information. The system build up with a dynamic reaction control network to exchange biological information by millions bio-related molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. In order to understand a whole picture of such a complex life system which dynamically changes it is not enough to chase single molecule behavior. Thus, this course will provide system-biology approach.

Operators have started to roll out the first generation of municipal
wireless mesh networks. These mesh networks compose a wifi hotspot in
order to cover a municipal area, in order to provide wireless
broadband coverage over the last mile for customer access. These
networks have gained a lot of exposure after high profile cities such
as Philadelphia or San Francisco have decided to implement one. As
these networks operate in a license-free band using commodity hardware
platforms, they are viewed as a disruptive technology to provide
mobile wireless services.
This tutorial will describe the different architectures and protocols
for the new wireless mesh networks. As metropolitan wifi networks with
high speed data capability become ubiquitous, it is useful to take a
long look at the underlying architectures and protocols. Since there
are competing architectures and design choices, it is interesting to
know the basic differences between them, and if these differences are
irreconcilable. Other architectures, such as HSxPA or WiMax are also
competing to provide high speed bandwidth to the mobile handset. The
tutorial will see how these solutions compare and inter-operate.

Earthquake is one of the most disastrous phenomena on the earth, especially for the people who live in the tectonically active region. Many of the Asian countries suffer disasters due to sudden occurrence of earthquakes. Earthquakes are phenomena in which the earth's ground shakes due to the wave (seismic wave) that is emitted by sudden fracturing of rock in the earth. Once large earthquake occurs strong seismic wave will propagate from the earthquake source. Houses that can stand against strong storm may be collapsed with the strong shaking. Slope of mountains may be collapse as avalanches. Large earthquakes also cause ground deformation, which may cause large tsunami if they occur at the sea bottom. Earthquakes are also signatures that show the breathing of the earth. The surface of the earth slowly moves due to the convection in the earth's mantle, know as plate tectonics. The slow movement of the plates produces many earthquakes near the interface of the plates. The seismic wave, is also used to know the mantle convection of the earth, that, eventually, produce other earthquakes. In this course we will learn about earthquakes from scientific to technological aspect. A light is given on the earthquake-related phenomena as well as disaster reduction of earthquake by five lecturers, who gives you a vivid feature of the earthquakes.
