Symposium Outline
In recent years, as everything and everyone becomes connected to the internet, information and communication technology (ICT) has become one of the critical infrastructures of nations. In the near future, it is expected to serve as a "lifeline" that supports both the preservation of human life and socio-economic activities. This symposium aims to deepen the discussion on what values are needed to realize the "Cyber Lifeline for Future Society" from multiple perspectives—industry, government, and academia. We will invite speakers from the forefront of their respective fields to discuss why the cyber lifeline is necessary, based on concrete examples and the value of its applications, and we aim to present to companies, government officials, and researchers who will support the future society.
