Hi Dave,

For IPers if you find it relevant.

Last year we organized a new academic society, The Infosocionomics Society, to promote the study of the information society. The working group now has about two hundred members.

At its first conference I delivered a speech as the chairperson of the society in which I tried to depict an overall picture of what I think to be an interdisciplinary study of the information society, namely infosocionomics. This speech is now available in English at

I will welcome any comments and would like to develop some collaborative relations with those who are interested in this field.

Shumpei Kumon Tama University
