It gives us great pleasure to introduce the three best papers selected from the papers presented at CLEI 2006 in Santiago, Chile. Following well established tradition, CLEI invited the top papers of the conference for consideration as best papers in a special issue of the CLEI Electronic Journal. For the purpose of selecting these papers, the Comité Directivo of CLEI named a committee consisting of Diego Andrade (Ecuador), Ernst Leiss (USA), José Carlos Maldonado (Brazil), Marcello Visconti (Chile); and Adenilso Simão (Brazil). After a careful review of the ranking obtained from the Program Committee of CLEI 2006, the group agreed to invite six papers. The authors of four papers decided to accept our invitation. These papers were subjected to a further review resulting in the three papers that form this special issue. On behalf of the selection committee, we would like to thank all people involved in this undertaking, from the authors to the reviewers, and also the SBC – Sociedade Brasileira de Computação for providing the submission system

Robotics and Mechatronics Conference 2010 (ROBOMEC’10) was held at the Asahikawa Taisetsu arena in Asahikawa, Japan, on June 13-16, 2010, sponsored by the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Prof. Masashi Furukawa of Hokkaido University served as the General Chair and Prof. Keiji Suzuki of Hokkaido University as the Program Chair. The conference theme was “Robotics, Mechatronics, Big-bang, Frontier,” detailing expectations of major technology expansion in robotics and mechatronics. Over 1,100 presentations were made in 86 sessions, and participants numbered 1500 including those from abroad, making it a great success. The ROBOMEC’10 program committee selected 136 outstanding presentations. We recommended that authors submit original works for this issue, and received 53 papers. This special issue, Part 1 presents 15 papers strictly reviewed and accepted from among them. The remaining accepted papers will appear in the next issue as Part 2. We are pleased with the very high quality of these papers, and are confident that readers will find them both interesting and instructive in the fields of robotics and mechatronics. We thank the authors for their invaluable contributions and the reviewers for their time and effort. We also thank Editor-in-Chief Prof. Tatsuo Arai of Osaka University for organizing this special issue.

This special issue commemorates the designation of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics as the International Journal of the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers from 1999. The 2003 JSME Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ROBOMEC'03) was held in Hakodate May 23-25, 2003, sponsored by the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The general chair was Prof. Mikami and the program chair was Prof. Furukawa. The purpose of the conference was to aid in the establishment of new industries using advanced Robotics and Mechatronics technologies. Technical sessions featured 70 organized sessions and 770 papers enjoyed by some 1,000 participants. This special issue presents a wide range of ROBOMEC'03 papers to disseminate the informative and innovative results. The program committee selected 95 outstanding papers, or about 10%. Of the 36 submitted and reviewed by the Journal's referees, 28 were selected for publication. Special Issue Part 1 on Selected Papers from ROBOMEC'03 (Vol. 16, No. 2) presents 14, and others are presented in Part 2 (Vol. 16, No. 3).

AbstractThe three essays that comprise this section of this issue began as conference papers delivered at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association in January 2008, Washington, D.C. The panel was organized by Professor Samuel Yamashita of Pomona College, a longtime advocate of forging links between the fields of Asian Studies and Asian American Studies. In his usual gentle way, Sam Yamashita brought the panelists together, took care of the panel proposal, and then stepped aside and let these younger scholars take the floor. Over drinks after the panel, we all came to realize that Madeline Hsu and Catherine Ceniza Choy had both been students of Sam's as undergraduates. Charles Hayford approached Sam about creating a special issue of this journal based on the panel, and I, as the panel's discussant would serve as guest editor. Charles later suggested that we dedicate this issue to Sam as a token of our appreciation for his scholarship and mentorship. And we do so with great pleasure.

Cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) investigates connections between the cognitive sciences and different areas of infocommunications. CogInfoCom also focuses on engineering application fields integrating related scientific areas and results. Cognitive infocommunications systems involve hardware and software components that collect and store information and enable users to interact with this information. Besides communication security, considerations include the amount of stored information, which may be huge. This means that there is a need for algorithms and solutions that store and process data effectively. The CogInfoCom field presents a number of motivational challenges requiring active deep research, implementation, integration and measurement. This special issue focuses on the Cognitive Mobile Applications and Services track of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoComf12). Mobile phones and tablets are now everyday tools that enable users to easily connect to the Internet, download social content, find interesting places, etc. Mobile technology has become one of the most important fields in the IT industry just as Web technology was 10-15 years ago. Mobile phones and tablets use sensors and interfaces like accelerometers, cameras, GPS, and thermometers that monitor and enable easier interaction with the real world. Agents hosted by mobile devices that learn from sensor-originated information also support individual applications and complex systems. This special issue focuses on the cognitive capabilities of mobile phones, the various agents that mobile devices host, and how they can be applied efficiently in applications and services including social aspects of mobile solutions. Papers from the conference cover mobile controlled environments, mobile-supported learning, augmented reality, energy efficiency and communication techniques. We thank the authors for submitting their papers to CogInfoCom as a venue for presenting their findings. We are also grateful to program committee members and reviewers for their efforts in making the conference and the special issue possible. We feel that these papers will provide readers with interesting and valuable results from the field of cognitive infocommunications.
