l Prof. Kameoka passed away on 18 July 2007.
Since
I joined in JAIST-MOT course on Oct. 2004, Prof. Kameoka
has been performing academic activities including five times going abroad with
me in US. , Germany and Turkey. But we missed Kameoka
sensei suddenly. I am not still able to believe that, because he was working to
attain great works before that. I shall keep in my mind an everlasting memory.

following PDF link is sent by Prof. Hugo Tschirky of Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology, Zurich for his funeral

Recent
Research Activities
I joined JT group as researcher, later director
of system integration service and board member of JT Engineering INC.
As research director at the Engineering
Advancement Association of Japan I led the workgroups for knowledge-intensive
and RF-identification-based services.
Together with Prof. A. Kameoka
and others he registered a Limited Liability Partnership in 2006 and promoted
the monograph "Services Sciences" (NTS Publishing, 2007 in Japanese).
Now, I am aiming to establish methodologies for
producing future fine Service values by Knowledge Science oriented way
integrating the humanities and science, based on the experiences of both R
& D and Business field.
Currently His newest research interest is
"service anthropology" for future fine service.
He holds a PhD in system science (AI) 1991 from
Tokyo Institute of Technology.
