Conference organizer's comments:

I would like to thank the above seven scholars for submitting the final versions of their papers presented at the JSAC2020 ad hoc online conference.
I was pleased to hear from many participants that the first online JSAC conference was very successful. We had many interesting papers and lively discussions as well.
At this stage, I have decided not to try to write any cohesive summary, because I am not qualified to comment on each paper. However, I am planning to ask experts in
relevant fields to read papers and send me their remarks in the future. I would appreciate your comments as well.
The above authors are free to publish their papers anywhere else.
These papers are needless to say copyrighted by each author. Please observe the copyright law.

I would still accept papers for this web publication. Please contact Norio Ota.

Thank you.

Norio Ota
Secretary-Treasurer, JSAC
