  • Adaptive enterprise architecture process for global companies in a digital IT era

    Masuda Y., Zimmermann A., Bass M., Nakamura O., Shirasaka S., Yamamoto S.

    International Journal of Enterprise Information Systems （International Journal of Enterprise Information Systems)  17 （ 2 ） 21 - 43 2021.04

    ISSN  15481115

    　View Summary

    Enterprise architecture (EA) is useful for promoting digital transformation in global companies and information societies. In this paper, the authors investigated and analyzed the process for digital transformation in global companies, together with related work in using and applying an enterprise architecture framework for the digital era named the adaptive integrated digital architecture framework (AIDAF). Moreover, they position the AIDAF framework for processing digital transformation in global companies. Based on this analysis, the authors propose and describe a new enterprise architecture process for promoting digital transformation in global companies. Furthermore, the authors propose an adaptive EA cycle-based architecture board framework on digital platforms, while verifying them with case studies in global companies. Finally, the authors clarify the challenges and critical success factors of the process and framework for digital transformation with architecture board reviews in the adaptive EA cycle to assist EA practitioners with its implementation.

  • 2.65 Gbps downlink communications with polarization multiplexing in X-band for small earth observation satellite

    Kaneko T., Kawano N., Nagao Y., Murakami K., Watanabe H., Mita M., Tomoda T., Hirako K., Shirasaka S., Nakasuka S., Saito H., Hirose A.

    IEICE Transactions on Communications （IEICE Transactions on Communications)  E104B （ 1 ） 1 - 12 2021.01

    ISSN  09168516

    　View Summary

    This paper reports our new communication components and downlink tests for realizing 2.65 Gbps by utilizing two circular polarizations. We have developed an on-board X-band transmitter, an on-board dual circularly polarized-wave antenna, and a ground station. In the onboard transmitter, we optimized the bias conditions of GaN High Power Amplifier (HPA) to linearize AM-AM performance. We have also designed and fabricated a dual circularly polarized-wave antenna for low-crosstalk polarization multiplexing. The antenna is composed of a corrugated horn antenna and a septum-type polarizer. The antenna achieves Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) of 37 - 43 dB in the target X-band. We also modify an existing 10 m ground station antenna by replacing its primary radiator and adding a polarizer. We put the polarizer and Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) in a cryogenic chamber to reduce thermal noise. Total system noise temperature of the antenna is 58 K (maximum) for 18 K physical temperature when the angle of elevation is 90 on a fine winter day. The dual circularly polarized-wave ground station antenna has 39.0 dB/K of Gain - system-noise Temperature ratio (G/T) and an XPD higher than 37 dB. The downlinked signals are stored in a data recorder at the antenna site. Afterwards, we decoded the signals by using our non-real-time software demodulator. Our system has high frequency efficiency with a roll-off factor α = 0.05 and polarization multiplexing of 64APSK. The communication bits per hertz corresponds to 8.41 bit/Hz (2.65 Gbit/315 MHz). The system is demonstrated in orbit on board the RAPid Innovative payload demonstration Satellite (RAPIS-1). RAPIS-1 was launched from Uchinoura Space Center on January 19th, 2019. We decoded 10 bits of downlinked R- and L-channel signals and found that the downlinked binary data was error free. Consequently, we have achieved 2.65 Gbps communication speed in the X-band for earth observation satellites at 300 Mega symbols per second (Msps) and polarization multiplexing of 64APSK (coding rate: 4/5) for right- and left-hand circular polarizations. ◦ 10

  • Internet of robotic things with digital platforms: Digitization of robotics enterprise

    Masuda Y., Zimmermann A., Shirasaka S., Nakamura O.

    Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies （Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies)  189   381 - 391 2021

    ISSN  9789811557835

    　View Summary

    Internet of Things (IoT) provides a strong platform for computer users to connect objects, devices, and people to the Internet for exchanging or sharing of information with each other. IoT is growing rapidly and is expected to adapt to disciplines such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and robotics. Furthermore, the new concept of IoT is proposed and shown, especially for robotics areas as Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT). IoRT is a mixed structure of diverse technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. However, to promote and realize IoRT, digitization and digital transformation should be proceeded and implemented in the robotics enterprise. In this paper, we propose an architecture framework for IoRT-based digital platforms and verify it using a planned case in a global robotics enterprise. The associated challenges and future research directions in this field are also presented.

  • The Latest Status of Our Commercial Small Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite Constellation

    Obata T., Arai M., Asada S., Imaizumi T., Saito H., Shirasaka S.

    International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) （International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS))     3578 - 3580 2020.09

    ISSN  9781728163741

    　View Summary

    Expectations for SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites that can observe a target area through clouds and during nighttime are emerging, especially in Asia where high cloud cover rates prevent from the satellite monitoring with optical sensors. We will build a constellation of the small SAR satellites to realize short term revisits, shorter than one day to take advantage of SAR sensors that can acquire data regardless of weather and time in a day. We expect the constellation expands needs of the SAR data to business and private decision making, and develop a market for commercial use. We will launch the first demo satellite in 2020. We are already preparing to build the second satellite and will make six satellite constellation until 2022. Our final goal is to build a constellation of 25 satellites.

  • Features of a good story for non-technical adults to learn emerging technologies

    Seya K., Kobayashi N., Shirasaka S.

    International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning （International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning)  15 （ 3 ） 15 - 33 2020

    ISSN  18688799

    　View Summary

    The need to learn emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence is increasingly important not only for technical people but also for nontechnical people. Previous studies showed the effectiveness of a story-based teaching method for both technical and non-technical people who want to learn emerging technologies. However, the difference between the story-building methods for technical people and non-technical people has not been revealed. The purpose of this research is to propose perspectives that reveal the differences in the stories used for emerging technology education and identify the effective story features suited for non-technical adult learners by comparing the different story-building methods used for technical people and non-technical people. In this study we classified the story types into two perspectives: "past to present" and "present to future" and compared the two story-building methods in these perspectives. The novelty of this research is that the proposal of perspectives that reveal the differences in the stories used for emerging technology education and that we have identified the features of one of the effective stories suited for nontechnical adult learners. We also examined the possibility of leveraging such differences in solving the issues that a class of non-technical people called conversational programmers is facing.
