Metaverse has been encountering in our daily lives, and it has dynamically changed people's way of working, educating, and entertaining. During the Covid-19, people has been more immersed with virtual world. For example, the virtual environments have created new form and features of our remote work, online education, entertainment, and so on. Also, some people make a strong tie with their avatar to live in a virtual world. Indeed, it became a new normal life now. With this radical social and technological change, the metaverse has become a core issue for the communities of researchers and practitioners as well, and a variety of meaningful research and products have been conducted so far. Nevertheless, it still is lack of diverse theoretical, empirical, and practical studies, dealing with this huge socio-technical shift with the metaverse. Therefore, in this special issue commentary, we suggest potential metaverse research issues and topics, which highlight how management, organization, and information systems researchers could dance with the ongoing metaverse ecosystem for creating more productive research performances.

This paper concerns fast and time accurate HW/SW cosimulation for MPSoC(Multi-Processor System-on-chip) architecture where multiple software and/or hardware components exist. It is becoming more and more common to use MPSoC architecture to design complex embedded systems. In cosimulation of such architecture, as the number of the component simulators participating in the cosimulation increases, the time synchronization overhead among simulators increases, thereby resulting in low overall cosimulation performance. Although SystemC cosimulation frameworks show high cosimulation performance, it is in inverse proportion to the number of simulators. In this paper, we extend the novel technique, called virtual synchronization, which boosts cosimulation speed by reducing time synchronization overhead: (1) SystemC simulation is supported seamlessly in the virtual synchronization framework without requiring the modification on SystemC kernel (2) Parallel execution of component simulators with virtual synchronization is supported. We compared the performance and accuracy of the proposed parallel SystemC cosimulation framework with MaxSim, a well-known commercial SystemC cosimulation framework, and the proposed one showed 11 times faster performance for H.263 decoder example, while the accuracy was maintained below 5%.

In the present study a domain decomposition scheme using the substructuring method is developed for the computational efficiency of the finite element analysis of metal forming processes. in order to avoid calculation of an inverse matrix during the substructuring procedure, the modified Cholesky decomposition method is implemented. As obtaining the data independence by the substructuring method the program is easily paralleized using the Parallel Virtual machine(PVM) library on a work-station cluster connected on networks. A numerical example for a simple upsetting is calculated and the speed-up ratio with respect to various number of subdomains and number of processors. The efficiency of the parallel computation is discussed by comparing the results.

We apply the Rayleigh Ritz method to analyze multi-layered plates with residual stresses. The method is very simple, straight forward, and easily programmable, but it should be applied to structure s only in simple shapes. We derive coupled variational equations based on the principle of virtual displacement, and investigate what kind of basis functions is desirable for the analysis of rectangular plates with various boundary conditions. We demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the method through several examples. The analysis results obtained with the method are in good agreement with those available in literature. A multi-layered MEMS plate example shows that the coupling effect should not be ignored and that residual stresses do influence the stiffness of the structure very much.

This paper presents a real-time collaborative system for distributed design. The aim of the system is to provide designers with a virtual workspace where they can collaborate and exchange their design knowledge in distributed environment. The system consists of two subsequent modules. One is for the visualization of design data including CAD data, documents, images, and the other is real-time collaboration module. They make it possible for distributed designers to review the design data collaboratively and to share their design knowledge. The system was implemented by using the Internet protocols such as TCP/IP and IP multicast on the peer-to-peer based network. An example is presented and discussed to validate the proposed system.

The outer diameter finishing grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, is carried out by high-precision centerless grinding machines. In this study, the thermal characteristics of such a machine, for example, the temperature distribution, temperature rise, and thermal deformation, were estimated based on a virtual prototype and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to normal operating conditions. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed. hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The reliability of the predicted results was demonstrated using temperature characteristics measured from a physical prototype. The predicted and measured results indicated that this particular high-precision centerless grinding machine had very stable thermal characteristics.

For the personal robot to serve humans as a companion in our daily life, it is obviously important that the robot should have a long-term relationship to users. In this paper, we introduce a simple idea on how to make the long-term relationship by using just low-cost and simple robots. We also describe the robotic artificial creature system to implement this idea. The artificial creature robots respond not only physical environment changes but also the logical information changes in the virtual world such as the Web. They consist of a control robot and several simple robots, which show users various group behaviors. Users have a relationship with them by observing these behaviors, rather than interacting with them. We separate physical robots and software applications in order that artificial creature robots can have more various behaviors made by various software applications. Finally, we implemented the system using a robot simulator to show some example cases.

Humans use images on a daily basis-so much so that images are integral to their lives. Seeing is represented by an image, created or lived in it. Images required and developed a new paradigm from past to present. Today, images are in digital formats, and new techniques are increasing. Among them, cinemagraphs can find features that differ from previous images. The keywords found by comparing them in the image development are analyzed in detail through four characteristics in this paper. Cinemagraphs appearing in the keywords are interpreted in terms of each keyword and, through the example, the cinemagraph image can be approached concretely.

In this paper, a new design method of variable structure model following control system(VSMFCS) for robot manipulators is proposed. The proposed controller overcomed reaching phase problem by using function augmenting scheme to the sliding surface. Therefore, it can be guaranteed that the overall system always has a robust property against parameter variations and external disturbances. Furthermore, the proposed controller does not use the model state, .chi.$_{m}$, different from other previous works. Regardless of not using the model state, the model following error dynamics, virtual dynamics, is shown to be globally exponentially stable. The efficiency of the proposed method has been demonstrated by an example.e.
