  This paper proposes a sleep visualization system through indirect biofeedback for patients' behavioral changes and improves sleep quality. In a super-aging society that has been developing in the world, efficient and high-quality cares for elderly people are needed. Especially in nursing care, a lot of patients have sleep problems due to reduced stamina and activity, and it eventually results in the increase of caregivers' strain and burden. For solving this problem, a sleep visualization system using indirect biofeedback is developed for patients aiming to behavioral changes and improving the sleep quality. To validate the proposed system, an experiment was conducted with five elderly persons. As a result, it is verified that some patients were interested in their sleep quality through the proposed system and the sleep score could be improved.

  Learning styles are preferences that individual learner has for learning information and responding to the learning environment. These styles can be used to help instructors design the courses to tailor each learner in order to make the learner learn effectively. The Index of Learning Styles (ILS) is the psychometric instrument for identifying FelderSilverman learning styles which have been used mainly, but there are many limitations of usages. This research aims to approach alternative ways to identify Felder-Silverman learning styles y using puzzle-game and machine learning. The acquired result shows that puzzle-game can be a practical alternative approach as learning styles identifier with weighted average accuracy 53.85% on procession styles, 84.615% on perception styles, and 53.85% on understanding styles compared to the result obtained from the ILS.

  Anti-drug education is one of the important and necessary educational activities for young people. In this paper, a virtual reality based (VR-based) material for learning anti-drug skills is proposed. By using the learning material, learners are exposed in a virtual unsafe drug situation, and can feel the dangerousness seriously to learn the harms and risks of drug abuse while improving their abilities to refuse drugs. In order to evaluate the proposed material, it was compared with a video-based learning material which has the same contents with the VR-based learning material. Experiments were conducted and the results were analyzed from the aspects of effect on the users' attitudes, users' satisfaction, and anti-drug self-efficacy. As the result, it became clear that learners can learn effectively with the VR-based learning material more than with the video-based learning material.

  International trade transaction processes include complex paperworks because each country has own regulations and document formats. Such paperworks bring unnecessary costs of time and resources. Our research group has proposed a framework of supporting system for reducing redundancy of paperworks and complexity of document processes. A function of the framework is to reduce document flows in an international trade transaction process. This function is executed by three steps: (1) Converting document flows to information flows, (2) Reducing information flows, and (3) Generating document flows from information flows. In this paper, algorithms used in these steps are proposed. First, a mathematical model used for describing document flows and information flows is defined. Then, the details of the algorithms are shown by using the mathematical model. To illustrate the ability of the proposed algorithms, the algorithms are applied in examples of document flows in international trade transaction processes. As a result of the discussion, information flows and document flows in several international trade transaction processes can be represented as a common structure by using the mathematical model. We can see that redundancy of paperworks and simplifying complexity of paperworks in international trade transaction processes can be reduced by using the proposed algorithms. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

  A lot of supporting tools for vitalizing brainstorming sessions have been proposed. Some of them show the participants hints for discussions, e.g. keywords and images. The author's research group also has proposed a supporting system for vitalizing brainstorming sessions. In the system, "semi-relevant images," which are relevant images of the relevant words of words used in created ideas, are shown for participants of a brainstorming as hints. Despite the system works well for vitalizing discussions, the effects of this type of hint had not been investigated. Thus, experiments were conducted to show the effects. In the experiments, effects of three types of hints, (1) relevant keywords; relevant words of the words used in ideas presented in the discussion, (2) relevant images; images retrieved by using words used in ideas presented in the discussion as keywords, and (3) semi-relevant images; images retrieved by using relevant words of the words used in ideas presented in the discussion as keywords, were compared. The results show that the third type of hints can increase number of utterances and diversity of the subjects in discussions.

  Public speaking skills are considered as an important ability in today’s society; however, it is not easy to make persuasive speeches. This research aims to identify characteristics of persuasive Japanese public speaking by analyzing Bibliobattle speeches. Bibliobattle is a social book review game, where each participant gives a five-minute speech on his/her favorite book in an attempt to persuade as many people as possible to read it, and the best book is elected based on the vote of all participants. Using speeches from All-Japan university Bibiliobattle tournament, including 25 speeches from the final games, 25 from the semi-final games, and five beginners’ speeches, we analyzed the kind of speech that can gain support from the audience, lead the vote, and succeed in persuasion. An analysis of the content of and strategies employed in the speeches was made based on the two concepts of “context sharing” (Yamaji et al., 2014) and “metadiscourse theory” (Hyland, 2005, etc.). Context sharing is a kind of speaker’s action when it attempts to form a common comprehension base for facilitating the audience to accept the contents presented by the speaker later. For that purpose, the speaker makes mention of common experiences or recognitions shared with the audience in the speech’s introduction section. Metadiscourse refers to interpersonal strategies for organizing a discourse or the speaker’s stance toward either the content or audience. From the analysis, the following results can be drawn. In the data from the final games, i.e., from the most persuasive speeches, most speakers tried to conduct context sharing in the introduction section and developed their speeches using the shared contents. The speakers also used metadiscourse expressions for persuading the audience effectively. It may be possible to apply these findings to types of public speaking other than Bibliobattle.

  PBLs signifies both problem-based learning and project-based learning; we clearly distinguish between the two types of PBLs. The former PBL involves finding ways to solve problems under unfavorable conditions. In the curriculum at our institute, problem-based learning has been conducted since 2006. By contrast, project-based learning involves a student team undertaking an actual project, devised by a company. We did not adopt project-based learning in our curriculum. In 2016, our institute joined the Education Network for Practical Information Technology project of Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In that project, around 40 universities are engaged in developing a cooperative network. Each university develops practical education using PBL; its knowledge and resources obtained are shared among other universities in the network. For our part of the project, we added 3 practical exercises based on project-based learning. By combining the two different types of PBL, our curriculum provides exercises that introduce better problem-solving skills, instill a challenging spirit, and provide practical experience for students. In this paper, we report our exercises and practical results for 2017.

  Cross-bordering trade is considered as a significant driver in economic developments to promotions of regional stability and cooperations. With the current system, crossing borders must take much costs because there are many weak points in the processes, e.g., redundant clearance processes, and multiple documents requirements in different formats and different data elements. Thus, cross-bordering supporting system, which absorbs the differences between countries is required. In this paper, some classes of cross-bordering transportation ontology are proposed in order to develop such supporting system. In addition, flamework of the supporting system is shown.

  Usually, outside air temperature of a house increases when we use air-conditioners because of exhaust heat from the outdoor units. Consequently, electrical consumption of the area increases because many people turn on the airconditioner. Influence of this phenomenon depends on distances among each house and arrangement of the houses. Obviously, distance between each house becomes further, effect of exhaust heat gets weaker, but the distance cannot be extended easily in urban areas because of limited space. Thus, relationship between arrangement of houses with air-conditioners and electrical consumption in a target area is investigated. A house with an air-conditioner and an outdoor unit is represented as a mathematical model, and multi-agent simulations have been conducted with the model. Effective arrangements of houses and ineffective arrangements of houses have been found by using random search method, and the arrangements have been compared. It has become clear that electrical consumption decreases when houses with low preset temperature get closer with each other in built-up areas.

  In modern societies, we need to face with various pressure that could lead us to mental illnesses. Human relationship is one of the well-known stressors despite it is a quite important for our daily life. To overcome cruel situations come from human relationship problems, sometimes we need any supporting systems. Psychodrama is one of the effective counseling methods which are used for solving several human relationship problems. The method has many advantages, on another front it has problems. The first, before conducting a Psychodrama event, we have to adjust our schedules. The second, some people do not want to talk about their human relationship problems for other people. These factors make difficult for us to conduct Psychodrama events easily. In this paper, a self psychotherapy tool is proposed as a approach for the problems. The proposed tool aims to produce similar results with original group therapy sessions of Psychodrama. To evaluate the proposed tool, an experiment was conducted. The results show that the tool can provide some hints for the users who had troubles in current human relationships and want to improve the situations.

  In this paper, a new supporting system for brainstorming is proposed, and the effects are discussed based on the results of experiments. Brainstorming is a method for encouraging ideas generation and obtaining useful ideas in order to achieve a particular goal. In a process of brainstorming, the participants are required to submit their ideas as much as they possible. However, generating huge volumes of new ideas is not easy for ordinary participants. Diversity of submitted ideas is another problem. When the participants are biased by conventional ideas, it is difficult for them to escape from the ideas and submit novel ones. The proposed system helps participants of brainstorming to generate new ideas by showing related images for them. The results of the experiment shows that participants of brainstorming can discuss more actively with the proposed system.

  Short-pause is one of the important elements of presentation. In this study, we have investigated differences of taking short-pauses between winners and losers of book review presentation game, Bibliobattle. In order to find short-pauses, non-utterance sections in presentations are detected by converting time discrete audio signal to energy. Length, times and appearance position of short-pauses of winners and losers were compared. As a result, the following things were revealed. The first is that the average times of winners' brief (less than 0.4 sec) short-pauses is significantly smaller than losers' one. The second is that the losers' average times of short-pauses which appeared in unnatural position (between noun and postpositional particle or suffix) is significantly larger than winners' one.

  In design process, miscellaneous knowledge is required for achieving desirable goal. Collaboration is a crucial method that contributes designers to create prime solutions by sharing their knowledge within a team. During a collaboration, valuable novel knowledge that is not held by the members could emerge due to synergistic effect. However, the way to generate such new knowledge is implicit. In this paper, a new model for collaborative design mechanism is proposed to investigate process of generating such knowledge. Effect of a collaboration can be visualized by using the proposed model. To show the usefulness of the model, a calculation tool has been developed based on the proposed model.

  Usually, a manufacture receives materials from one or more suppliers in a supply chain. Performance of each supplier in the chain affects on the chains' performance. Thus, evaluating suppliers in a supply chain is important for achieving efficient supply chain. However, it is not easy to evaluate each members' performance in a chain with traditional methods. In this paper, a new method for finding out weak points of chains is proposed. With the proposed method, we can find that which factors of which suppliers should be improved. Thus, manufacturers can make decision for improving or changing suppliers more easily. A case study of Thai frozen shrimp industry is represented to show the applicability of the proposed scheme.

  Evaluating supply chain management is important because it helps to find out supply chain's weakness. Customers' satisfactions is one of important topics because a propose of supply chain management is to satisfy customers requirements. If an organization lacks satisfaction of customer needs, it will lose an opportunity in business. Usually, agricultural supply chain consists of a manufacture and several suppliers. In this case, the manufacture has to evaluate performances of chains with possible suppliers. The manufacture may replace some suppliers to improve their customers' satisfactions. However, the current evaluate methods cannot be used such usage because the methods cannot consider a situation in which some suppliers are replaced. Therefore, a new evaluation model is proposed. The proposed model allows the users to inspect a chain's efficiency with considering to replace some of supply chain suppliers. In order to show the ability of the method, a case study of Thai frozen shrimp industry is shown and the results is discussed.

  In this study, we focused on lighting and odor which were considered as important elements of in-store marketing. In online stores, product photographs are important tools of transmitting information of products to consumers and the lighting in photographs will have relationship with purchasing intention. Odor is also considered as one of the marketing tools of online stores in future. If the olfactory display system is installed on PCs, sellers can provide odor to consumers through the Internet. Therefore, we carried out an experiment in which participants give scores to the lighting in photographs of a mug cup and the degree of purchasing intention to the cup. When two-thirds of participants did the task, aromas of lavender or peppermint were diffused, and the condition for other one-third participants was without aroma. As a result, we found that the lighting and the odor effect the purchasing intention significantly.

  Muroran Institute of Technology has been conducting investigations on students' awareness of career design by taking questionnaire with bachelor course students. In this study, data collected from questionnaire is analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) for inspecting the transition of students' awareness. It is difficult to observe the awareness transition from a dynamic point of view by applying PCA in traditional methods because of different principal components are used to project data, thus a new way to use PCA is proposed. The both methods are conducted and compared through a case study in order to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  In this paper, a mathematical model of collaboration mechanism is proposed. Channel theory is utilized to accomplish this goal. Collaboration between engineering course students and entertainment media course students was represented by using the proposed model. As the results, there are two infomorphisms were deduced from the classifications. It means the students could gain new knowledge from the collaboration process and we can say that the collaboration is effective. To verify the effect of the collaboration, a workshop was conducted. During the workshop, the participants were asked to answer the questionnaires to investigate how the knowledge of each member changed. The number of the keywords of the first questionnaire and the second questionnaire were compared. The number of keywords of entertainment media course grow 95% on average. Meanwhile, the number of keywords of engineering course grow 150% on average. As the results, the participants can enlarge their knowledge from the collaboration.

  Supply chain management is a principle of management of activities that happen between every member in a chain. Information is one of importance factors that helps to keep steady managing. Lack of information or distorted information would cause significant problems for the members. Information sharing between each member in chain is a promising method which can be used to avoid these kind of problems. Therefore, information sharing level should be considered when evaluating a supply chain. This paper develops a framework for containing the effect by information sharing by using network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which is one of measure efficiency techniques which is used in several applications. The proposed approach enables firm's manager to find accurate information sharing level for the efficiency of the whole chain.

  A method for modeling a tacit knowledge has been developed. Tacit knowledge is a type of knowledge that is difficult to describe with words or symbols such as sports techniques, design skills, etc. It is difficult for us to obtain and share this type of knowledge. In this paper, we discuss a new method to create a model of tacit knowledge by showing an example of web site designing. Usually, capable designers can express their intensions precisely through their works. This is to say, appearances of their works reflect their intention. Thus, it is expected that capable designers' tacit knowledge can be extracted from their works. Knowledge of the design was extracted from actual web pages on the Internet. Then, knowledge models were created by utilizing a Bayesian network. The created models were verified by LOOCV technique. The result shows that one of the created models illustrates part of a designers' knowledge accurately.

  Efficiency evaluation is a critical step for effective supply chain management. The evaluation system should be constructed based on realistic structure of supply chain. In practical supply chain, the members can be divided into two types, replaceable and irreplaceable. However, the current studies do not consider such situations. In order to consider such situation, a two-stage DEA model is going to be extended and proposed. Frozen seafood supply chains of Thailand are presented as an application to show an efficacy and applicability of the proposed model. As a result, eleven inefficient chains have been found by using the proposed model while only six and seven inefficient chains have been found by using traditional models. We can ague that the proposed model can identify an efficiency of the realistic supply chain more sensitively than traditional models. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

  In design field, collaboration is a crucial key method which leads to widen conceptual design idea. Collaboration helps us to share our knowledge together and concert idea in a design process. We also can share diverse viewpoints among collaborations. In this paper, a collaboration support system which based on extended ADT model, TTS method ADT is proposed. ADT model is a representation model for conceptual design. It is used for grasping artifacts as a communication medium between designers and users. The process of observing, sharing and creating design plans are represented through the extended ADT model. During an observation process, three influential factors: physical factor, emotional factor and cultural factor are observed with diverse viewpoints. Each process is visualized and shared by using TTS method by using visual information such as idea sketch, note and photo. By using this tool, designers in a team can visualize their idea, share it with others, and create novel design plan which based on multi-cultural background. An example of design process with TTS method is given in order to show the efficiency of proposed method.

  An education material for training regarding robot literacy has been developed. Robot literacy means an ability to have appropriate relationships with intelligent robots. It can be considered as a kind of media literacy because robots can transmit the designers' intentions to the users. People who were born on and after the Internet appearance called "digital natives." They have novel moral values and behave different way from old generation people in the Internet societies. These facts cause several troubles between the two generations. Thus, the necessity for media literacy education has increased. These days, as same as the Internet technologies, robotics technologies are also advancing rapidly. It is forecasted that the people who is growing on and after home robots have become popular, "robot native," will appear. As same as media literacy education, robot literacy education for robot native also ought to become important in the future. In this paper, a card game as a robot literacy education material for elementary/junior hi schoolers' is proposed. The players can learn critical thinking for home appliance robots during enjoying the game.

  Due to the Internet is become prevalent, webpage is a vital medium, which does duty as a channel in communication process between a website-designer and users. Webpage design consists of many elements such as color, image, layout etc., which may contribute to users perception. The authors have created a knowledge model of webpage layout design by using Bayesian network technique. In order to build appropriate models, several algorithms for learning Bayesian networks have been developed. In this study, four knowledge models of webpage which created based on different structure learning algorithm of Bayesian network were compared for finding the most appropriate algorithm. As a result, it becomes clear that the model created with Tabu search and the K2 algorithm is the most appropriate.

  This paper reports on the results of using Bibliobattle for developing international graduate and undergraduate students' public speaking skills. Bibliobattle is a social book review game where each participant presents a review of his/her favorite book so as to persuade as many people as possible to read it, and the audience votes for 'the champ book'. The authors used this game in a Japanese language course where each learner was required to make two book-review presentations during the course. The results revealed that the need to win the audience's interest remarkably raised the learners' enthusiasm, with enhanced consideration for the understanding and feelings of the audience. The use of Bibliobattle was indicated to be an effective method to improve learners' public speaking skills.

  The Crossroad game is a social game that is used for learning to deal effectively with difficult situations such as conflicts in teamwork. This paper investigates the characteristics of questions to be used when the Crossroad game is applied to teamwork scenarios. The questions were collected by using questionnaires and dividing them into three groups, high-agreement, low-agreement, and middle-agreement groups using the chi-square method. Results are obtained from students in Japan and the UK, and it is shown that the attitude toward a dilemma within teamwork depended on the background of the students. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  The Crossroad game is a card game that has been developed for learning to deal effectively with difficult situations such as conflicts in disaster management. In this study, a variation of the crossroad game is described that has been used to improve the teamwork of students in an exercise class at university. In this form of the game, a question is displayed on the screen and the players have to select either yes or no as answer. All questions are related to the student's experience with group work. The players have then to provide a reason for their decision. The player who votes in the same way as the majority of players is awarded one point. It is noted that the game does not require the exchange of controversial opinions, but rather judging the expected majority opinion. As a result, the players become aware of opinions, which they did not consider as majority opinion, and it is argued that this form of exchanging opinions will improve teamwork.

  These days, many people in design field make a great point of observing a user with regard to the user's circumstances. From the background, there are many researches in User Centered Design field about the role and value of the observing in design process. However, there have been a few researches about how to observe users and how to share and apply the observed results to design process more effectively. The purpose of this research is to clarify the following hypothesis: 'Observing "Physical factor", "Kansei factor" and "Cultural factor" from different viewpoints, and visualizing and sharing the observed results does not helps only to understand users' needs but also to apply the observation results to design process.' Therefore, in this research, we discuss 1) the role of observing from different viewpoints, 2) the validity of the following three factors, Physical factor, Emotion factor and Culture factor as the subjects of observation and 3) the reconfirming "TTS method" to visualize and share the observed results, based on several international design workshops as a case study. As the results, the observation from different viewpoints is effective to find out users' needs including a potential needs which is difficult to be found out through the questionnaire survey. And the method to observe Physical factor, Kansei factor and Cultural factor helps to understand users' situation and needs. Moreover, sharing the visualized observation results with TTS method becomes easy to understand others' thinking, and easy to apply the observed results to design process. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  The relationship between impressions by looking the color designing of touch panel interfaces of electronic devices and the operations is discussed. Experiments that investigate the effect of color in designs of touch panel interfaces on the operation and on impressions of users have been conducted. Subjects tried mental arithmetic tests on twelve kinds of screens which have different color images. The following points: "time which passed during a task," "number of correct answers," "number of incorrect answers" and "number of timeouts" were measured and counted. After the tasks were conducted, the subjects answered questionnaires about their impressions of the interfaces in order to measure the evaluation. As a result, following things became clear : (1) Accuracy of the operations increases when using coloration such that evaluation is high, e.g., "cool-casual." (2) Operation could be done speedy when using coloration such that potency and activity are low, and evaluation are high, e.g., "clear." (3) There are correlations between the number of correct answers, time which passed during a task and the evaluation.

  A system to support the design of cosmetic containers is discussed. The proposed system aims to create a design plan by cooperating with the designers. Cosmetics can be classified as emotional products because users tend to select them based on the images and the persona of the products. Cosmetic product images depend on the container design, the graphic design, the brand design, etc. The design process for cosmetic containers is important, and designers should understand how users respond to containers. However, it is usually difficult to quantify users' feelings about products. With the proposed system, the designers refer to evaluations from multiple points of view gathered by the system in making their design plans. Two methods of estimating users' evaluations are introduced in the system. The first method uses regression analysis, and the second method uses artificial neural networks (ANNs). Questionnaires about users' impressions of cosmetic containers were given, and the results were used to identify parameters of a regression formula and teach values of ANNs. In addition, the system was used for the actual design process of a premium cosmetic container, and evaluations of the product were investigated. As a result, 49% subjects evaluated it as a luxury item.

  The relationships between the colors used in the design of touch panels and the operation of electronic devices are discussed, and experiments that investigated the effects of color in the designs of touch panel interfaces on their operation and on the impressions of users have been conducted. Subjects tried mental arithmetic tests on 12 types of screen which had different color images. The "time it took to perform the task," the "number of correct answers," the "number of incorrect answers," and the "number of timeouts" were measured and counted. After the tasks were administered, the subjects answered questionnaires about their impressions of the interfaces. The average number of correct answers was higher when using "cool-casual" than when using the other colorations. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the number of correct answers and a preference for the display coloration. There was a strong relationship between the coloration of the interface and the speed and accuracy of the operation. The results of the study lead us to expect that both the usability and the accuracy of operations could be improved by designing the coloration of the touch panel interface appropriately. © 2010 International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics (ISAROB).

  The media biotope concept is discussed from the viewpoint of system informatics. Media biotope is a concept of communication mediums in which the structures are discussed as an analogy of an eco biotope. In this scheme, it is aimed that communities created by local media are connected and mutually influence each other. First, the concept of media biotope is defined. The properties of media, i.e. scale, connectivity, generality, and designing of communication mediums are discussed. Then, a representation model of a process of creating communities with media is proposed. This model consists of three layers which reflect communities, phycological laws, and sociological laws. By using this model, simulations to investigate the relationships between mediums and communities can be conducted. Furthermore, three novel communication mediums based on the media biotope concept were identified: the first would strengthen communication among residents in a region, the second would help travelers learn about sightseeing spots and communicate with residents, and the third would help to revitalize communities through buses. These media are designed to increasie residents' enthusiasm for their region by promoting awareness among others. ©2010 IEEE.

  The accessibility of information on web-space is considered to be focused on the characteristics of hyperlinks. Although the reasons to put a hyperlink are multifarious, only one kind of link exists in HTML structure. As a result of this, users have to search for links by using syntactically techniques so as to retrieve information in web-space. In this paper, four kinds of hyper links are introduced into HTML, in order to improve the accessibility of information in web-space: Outbound links, Internal links, Navigation links and Intra-unit links. Designers and users can share the image of the link target page by using these kinds of links. Furthermore, the information flow between designers and users is described using mathematical framework, and experiments are carried out in order to verify the scheme.

  The relationships between color of control panel and operators' behavior are discussed. Color has a lot of influences on human's psychological condition. For instance, red has danger image and blue has peaceful image. Consequently, an operator's action is controlled by colors of interface devices, and it can be said that color is one of the most important factor of interface design. In this paper, guidelines of items' color on control panel are proposed, and are discussed based on Rasmussen's SRK model. By using the guideline of color design, an operator's action changes from rule base to skill base, and operator's load is reduced. In addition, some experiments are carried out in order to verify efficiencies of the guideline.

  The relationships between colors and operations on electronic devices, e.g., web browsers and ATM consoles, are discussed. Two experiments were carried out in order to test the effects of colors on the accuracy and speed of operations. In these experiments, a problem was displayed on the screen with several different color push buttons. Subjects had to select the correct answer from three alternatives and push the answer panel which indicated the answer The problems changed one after another, and subjects had to push the answer panel quickly The data, e.g., the time required to answer all problems and the correct answer ratio, was analyzed. We found that the blue one was better than red ones, and formal coloration is better than the other coloration from the viewpoints of accuracy and speed of operations. The authors study aimed to elucidate primitive rules of how color is used in the design of human interfaces.

  The influence of text information, known as "telops," on the viewers of television programs is discussed. In recent television programs, textual information, i.e., captions and subtitles, is abundant. Production of a television program is facilitated by using telops, and therefore, the main reason for using this information is the producers' convenience. However, the effect on audiences cannot be disregarded when thinking about the influence of media on humans' lives. In this paper, channel theory and situation theory are introduced, and channel theory is expanded in order to represent the mental states and attitudes of an audience. Furthermore, the influence of telops is considered by using a scene of a quiz show as an example. Some assumptions are proposed based on the considerations, and experiments are carried out in order to verify the assumptions.

  A system is described that uses pictograms to support interactive non-verbal communication. While pictograms are typically used with objects, this system uses them for events as well. Moreover, whereas communication systems using pictograms are generally designed for people with disabilities, this system is designed for people in general. It can thus be used between a non-disabled person and a person with a disability. between an adult and a child, between a Japanese person and an American person, and so on.

  The accessibility of information on web-space is considered to be focused on the properties of hyperlinks. Although the reasons to put in a hyperlink are multifarious, only one kind of link exists in HTML structure. As a result of this, users have to search for links by using syntactically techniques so as to retrieve information in web-space. In this paper, four kinds of hyper links are introduced into HTML, in order to improve the accessibility of information in web-space: External links, Internal links, Navigation links and Intra-unit links. Designers and users can share the image of the link target page by using these kinds of links.

  User-modeling on operations is quite useful to analyze possible error caused by human. In this paper, we propose a new framework of user-modeling method in the case of artifact operation based on Channel Theory. In the proposed framework, two knowledge domains for interface and functions in artifacts are described as classifications at first. Moreover, the logical consistency between these knowledge domains are kept by using mathematical tools in the Channel Theory. Then, user-modeling can be reasoned from these knowledge domains.

  A representational scheme for describing the mental model of an operator for performing operations is discussed. Situation theory is introduced into a representational model of operator behavior based on Petri nets and modal logic formulae. In this framework, restrictions tuned by operators are considered, leading to an intuitive representation of the transition of the operator's mental model through interaction with the system. A method for translating restrictions into temporal modal logic formulae as tasks is also considered.

  By employing some modalities as bases for modeling business processes, the present paper shows that a conventional way of analyzing Petri nets also turns out to be a method for specifying the novelty of business processes. This novelty is translated into terms of modal logics. Most conventional methods for modeling business processes represent "structures" of their processes, which do not show directly their "novelty." The proposed method, on the other hand, enables us to specify their novelty. From the viewpoint of alethic, deontic and temporal modalities, business processes are modeled by interactions among three layers, i.e., top, main and base layers. The possible actions and states represented by using Petri nets in the main layer axe controlled by designers' intentions represented in the top layer, and by what we call social causalities represented in the base layer. It is well known that a conventional method for checking the reachabilities of Petri nets results in a coverability tree of the net. We show that the coverability tree of the net in the main layer can be interpreted as a transition tree of possible worlds in terms of the modal logic, and that the type of tree specifies some kind of novelty of a business process.

  In this paper, we will propose a conceptual design support system based on the notion of the universal design by using a model for representing artifacts which focuses on operational structure. We have already proposed a hierarchical model for representing interactive artifacts involving "intentions", "operations and states" and "physical phenomena" which are tightly related with each other from teleological, causal and temporal aspects. In this model, artifacts are interpreted as interfaces between humans and environments. In this sense, the proposed model is suitable for representing artifacts which are designed based on the notion of universal design. In order to apply the proposed model to design support system, we have proposed the conceptual classes that are suitable for representing "physical causalities" and "operations" based on "Ontology Engineering". In this paper, we will propose a simulation system of our proposed model. The system consists of an "extended petri net simulator" and a "physical causal network generating system". They interact with each other via a "node observation agent". In order to elucidate the effectiveness of the proposed system, we will show an example of operational analysis result of an artifact.
• An Ontological Analysis of Modeling of Artifacts Considering Interactions with Human Operators

  In this paper, an ontological analysis of operations and physical causal relations in artifacts is done, which is particularly beneficial for modeling interactive artifacts. Recently, human-centered design methods have been receiving attentions. We will introduce what we call "Interactive Artifacts" which are designed for promoting appropriate interactions between operators and artifacts. We have already proposed a hierarchical model for representing interactive artifacts involving "intentions", "operations, states" and "physical phenomena" which are tightly related with each other from teleological, causal and temporal aspects. In this model, artifacts are interpreted as interfaces between humans and environments. In this sense, the proposed model is suitable for representing interactive artifacts. One of the effective processes for designing interactive artifacts is the so called "Participatory Design". In order to apply the proposed model to the participatory design process, we will examine the concepts that are suitable for representing "physical causalities" and "operations" based on "Ontology Engineering" and will define some "conceptual classes". In ontology engineering, some basic concepts, which are dependent on device structures, are defined. Based on these primitive concepts, we will introduce new classes for representing artifacts. In order to elucidate the effectiveness of the proposed model and classes, we will show an example of improvemental design through participatory design processes.
• A Method for Extracting and Utilizing Design Knowledge on Physical Causal Laws on Artifacts

  For supporting functional design process by using computer, one of the promising way is to utilize knowledge or tips on design. One practical way for supporting functional design is to facilitate designers to refer to well-organized and sophisticated knowledge-bases of inventive principles and of physical effects. Designers are, however, required training to deal with these kinds of abstract pieces of knowledge and to combine them for creating design concepts. Thus, we will examine a case-based reasoning framework in which design examples instead of highly abstract inventive principles are utilized. Based on the assumption that each example in the case-base functions by employing physical laws and effects, and the examples are selected so as to be subject to Design Axioms introduced by Suh, the present work proposes a method to acquire physical causal networks which reflect design knowledge and to utilize them for re-design process for supporting designers.

  In this paper, we will propose a representational model of "interactive" artifacts which reflects interactions between human and artifacts base on the discussion of alethic, deontic and temporal aspects of the interaction. From these three types of modality, we will define three layers to represent the interactions. The base layer represents causal relations which are governed by physical laws or effects. The main layer represents state transitions by unrestricted operations. Some operations are restricted by teleological necessities which are derived from designers' intention. The top layer represent this type of restrictions by using what we call "task unit graph". The tight interactions among the three layers explain interactions among designers, operator and environment via an artifact.

  初年度は，下に示す２項目についての研究を実施する計画であった． (1) 現地調査(須藤，王)：実際の現場で現在どのよう な学習活動が実施されているのか，また，学習者がどのような心身の制約を抱えているのかを明 らかにするために現地調査を実施して事例を収集する. (2) 学習活動の分析(高原，大学院生)：収集した事例を分析して，学習活動の特 徴と学習者の心身の制約を明確化する. Covid-19の影響で現地調査の受け入れが制限されたため，当初予定していたように，定量的なデータを十分に収集することは困難であった．そのため，限られた機会を十分に活用するため，定性的な分析に切り替えて情報を収集することにした．北海道札幌市の３施設を対象に現地調査を実施した．フィールドワークおよびインタビューによって情報を収取した．そして得られた情報に基づいて既存の学習活動および，その設計方針を分析した． 当初の仮説は，高齢者の学習活動を，「右腕で保持できる」「対象を認知できる」といったプリミティブな身体活動（基本行動）を用いて定義できるというものであった．しかしながら，実際の現場では「15mを30秒で歩くことができる」といったように，対象者の可能な行動（運動能力）に着目をした身体能力分けが行われていることがわかった．このことから，基本行動と運動能力との関係を記述するモデル（ブリッジモデル）が必要であることが明らかになった．

  本研究は，公的な場で，情報や考えを他人に伝えるパブリックスピーキングにおいて，いかに他人を納得させるか，すなわち「説得」がどのようなプロセスで実現するのかについての統合的な分析を行うものである。パブリックスピーキングでは，スピーチの内容面と、さらに非言語行動がそろって初めて「説得」が成功すると考えられる。本研究では、パブリックスピーキングのマルチモーダルな分析と検証を行うことを目的とし、実験的手法を用いて検証を行った上で、日本語教育分野やグローバルコミュニケーション分野での教育に寄与することを目指す。 2020年度は「説得」の実態を実験的な手法で明らかにしようとしていたが、一定の人を集めての実験が必要で、またこれに伴い研究者の出張なども必要となるため、コロナ下でこの部分の実施は不可能となった。そこで202１年度に検討する予定であった、外国人のための日本語教育，あるいはグローバルコミュニケーション教育などでの研修や教育に説得の特徴を取り入れた具体的な方法の考案について、着手することにした。 具体的には、海外の大学に所属する研究協力者と世界で日本語教育に携わりパブリックスピーキングの指導の経験がある日本語教師に対して、非言語行動についての意識を調査することにし、アンケート調査の実施後、分析を行った。この結果、パブリックスピーキングの指導経験のある日本語教師は全員が非言語行動の指導を行うと回答したが、非言語行動の種類によって指導法や評価の仕方には異なりがあることがわかり、またその指導の基本的な考え方にはさまざまな意見があり、今後の更なる詳しい調査が必要がことも明らかになった。

  This study clarifies how to persuade others in public speaking which is an ability to transmit one's idea necessary in the globalized society, that is, what kind of process "persuasion" is realized. Concretely, it was clarified that the speech which succeeded in the persuasion made the development which was contrary to the expectation of the audience, and that the strategy which effectively conveyed it was often taken. And, from this result, it was indicated that in the guidance of the public speaking in the Japanese language education for the learner it should be emphasized that the learner himself considers the method for effectively transmitting his story to the audience. In addition, the method of the multimodal analysis which added the nonverbal behavior was also examined.

  We developed a teaching method in Japanese including a course book titled "Everyday Interactions at/around Laboratory” to help graduate-level international students and researchers who arrive without previous knowledge of Japanese assuming that English will be the communication medium. As the learners can spare very limited time for attending formal instructions, we focused on promoting their learning skills to make most of their environment, i.e.the laboratory where Japanese is dominantly, if not exclusively, used. Our method encouraged the learners to observe actual communication happening around them to know what they should learn and to actively participate in interactions with others. At the completion of the course, the learners with an enthusiasm to join in the Japanese-dominant community at the laboratory highly appreciated the contents and learning activities offered by our method.

  The purpose of this research is to proposal of a design support system that designers can utilize various clues for creating new design. Therefore, various approaches were conducted based on the research scope as the process of creating ideas by utilizing not only external clues but also designer's own internal cues by external factors. As a result, BGM, especially Classic genre, as an external factor for making better utilized clues is effective in creating ideas process. And, it was shown that designer’s positive emotion condition based on "stimulation for laughing" before creating ideas leads the possibility of creating higher quality ideas as a result. Based on these results, "HN camera" application was proposed to utilize various clues intuitively, more efficiently and logically.

  今年度までに展開してきた研究を総括し、「情報土壌学」という新しい学域の基本的成り立ちの骨格を与えるとともに、さまざまな領域においてその展開の具体的な形を示してきた。 まず、予め設定(想定)された命題群の真・偽や成立・不成立を判定するという二分法をベースとして、想定内での状況の絞り込みの手がかりとしての情報の在り方、すなわち、シャノン流の情報概念とは異なり、第二の情報の在り方として、想定外の事象生起に対して新たな包括的な視点を導入しつつ諸事象包摂し、それらに時空の秩序を与えるような働きをする情報概念を提案した。前者が部分や要素への「分化・排除」を指向する働きであるのに対し、後者は全体への「統合・包摂」を指向するものであり、互いに相補的な情報の働きということができる。 情報土壌学では、主として後者のような情報を扱う枠組みとして、記号論・論理学の始祖の一人とされるパースによる述語論理式の表現である存在グラフに加えて、離散事象システムの事象推移表現であるペトリネット(発生ネット)を併合した新たな数学的表現形式を導入して、この包摂的情報の働きを表現し、解析する枠組み構築した。これは、ライプニッツの提唱した時空概念に即して情報群と人間集団や社会との連関構造を捉えるものであり、社会秩序や風土の成り立ちと包摂的な情報の働きの接点を解明する手掛かりを成すものである。その上に立って、倫理の問題やケアの世界における共感的・共存在的・即興的なコミュニケーションの在り方をライプニッツ時空の共生成という立場から明らかにするとともに、人工物の創造的なデザインやその使用における人工物との関係性やインタラクションの働き、とりわけ不便さや制約の効用などについて新たな解明と提案を行った。また、包摂的な情報と社会集団の形成のようなグループダイナミックスの連関の深層構造についての解明を行い、この情報土壌学の視点の有用性を明らかにした。

  手間いらずで効率的に要求が満たせる「便利な道具や方式」よりも、むしろ不便な道具や方式に、能動的工夫の余地・対象系の物理的理解促進・自己肯定感の醸成、などの効果がある。我々はこれらを積極的に評価する「不便益」という考え方を提唱し、この視点からの新たなシステム設計方法論の構築を試みた。最終年度にあたる2008年度に得られた成果を以下にまとめる。 [不便益の総論:]初年度から継続する各種講演やOSを年に数回開催し、そこで得られた多くの知見の整理を通して不便益の輪郭を明らかにして、HI学会論文誌に総説論文としてまとめた。 [不便益の各論:]システムデザインにおける「便利」を基礎づけるものとして、因果に基づく明瞭な説明・分類/分割による高いモジュラリティ・あいまいさの無い推論・中央集権的システム構成に注目し、それらが援用できない「不便」、すなわち均衡(バランス)に基づく説明・明瞭な分割ができないこと・解釈(推察)の多様性・分権的制御などから得られる益を積極的に活用する考え方を提出するとともに、それらのいくつかには具体的な活用方法や数理的基盤を与えた。 [不便益の応用:]不便益に関する知見をシステムデザインに応用することによって、その有効性を検証した。適用対象としては、情報伝達に関して「見るのではなく触れることしかできない絵画」や音と画像による情報伝達におけるテロップの効用分析、解釈の多様性に関して比喩表現やピクトグラムによる非言語コミュニケーションの有効性検証と、エージェントシミュレーション、デザインの実践として月に一度のインクルーシブデザインワークショップ(塩瀬)、などを実施した。
• Theory for Designing Business-Process based on the Modality of Social Systems

  This project aimed to develop a method for designing business process model focusing on the modalities of social systems. The basic dynamics of social phenomena, where the purchasing local profit such as personal gain yields global declines, cannot be discussed without the notion of "modalities of social systems." As an appropriate example of such a social systems, we focused on business processes and tried to construct a method for designing such processes based on their modalities. The research activities for four years are summarized as follows ; [Theory] The main feature of the target systems is that their basic dynamics am not governed by "causalities within a system" but by 'balances with the environment of a system" (AI & Society, 22(2) 101/112). Speaking of balancing, ecological systems are textbooks. Our project was trying to introduce notions of ecological systems from the beginning of the research project, and has developed an event emergence mechanisms based on a complementary scheme of ordering/disordering. We showed a way for utilizing this mechanism to designing systems (Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Information, 11(7)867/874). [Method] We have proposed a method for detecting and resolving conflicts among sectors of a business process (Proc. of KES-IIMSS '08, T. Hattori, et. al., Encoding Modalities into Extended Petri Net for Analyzing Discrete Event Business Process). They are discrete and decenterlized, and interact with each other mediated by temporal and deontic modalities. This method was extended for designing artifacts (Trans. on the SICE, E3(1), 40/48). [Practice] Business processes imply the systems where the interactions among human, artifacts and their environment are essential. As one of the field where those interactions are exposed, Inclusive Design Workshop is promising. We have been holding such workshops every month, and practically elucidated phenomena in formulating society in several sizes. Through preparing and holding workshops, organizers of a workshop (small size), participants of a workshop (middle seize), and users of designed artifacts (large size) were analyzed. The result of analysis is planning to be reported soon.
• An Approach to Universal Design from System Science

  To address the situation where recent methodologies of Universal Design (UD) become estranged from "the principles of UD" originated with R.Mace, we examined guidelines for UD by employing notions of systems science. The guidelines regard re-designs by alterations of physical quantities as a last resort. The guidelines aim to focus designers' intentions to qualitative gropes. The axis of our research is our assumption of a sufficient condition on UD : "instead of enforcing an unique optimized operation-sequence, they are open to various interpretations" and "generous constraints afford possible operations" and "interactions between a operation and the following alterations of affordance can be interpreted as a conversation." We broke this axis down into three sub-axes that are interdependent with each other. The first sub-axis was to elucidate the concepts : "generous constraint" and "interaction as conversation." For this purpose, we proposed models of "generous constraint" by modal logics and by the arbitrariness of information channels in terms of Qualitative Information Theory. We also proposed a framework of a design support system based on "interaction as conversation" defined from the viewpoint of alethic, deontic and temporal modalities, and teleological-causal necessities. The second sub-axis was bridging from qualitative to quantitative design processes. Adopting genetic algorithms, we developed a constraint solver that treats qualitative statements as constraints then decides quantitative parameters. The third sub-axis was actual proofs. The results of first and second axes were applied to several designs. For example, we participated in the project of designing rest rooms in the ward of a rehabilitation center in Osaka pref., that of designing entrance gates of unattended bicycle parking lots with a venture company in Kyoto city, and that of web pages. Furthermore, for comparing with UD, we invited Ms. Jullia Cassim, the leading expert of Inclusive Design, and carried out a workshop.
