1. Communication-field Mechanism Design
Communication-field mechanism design aims to design mechanisms (games or rules) that facilitate communication and provide the communications field with some functions.
BIBLIOBATTLE: a Social book-review game

Online communication is not sufficient for gaining knowledge about our society. We have to design off-line communications as well. For example, we have developed a social book-review game called BIBLIOBATTLE, which encourages people to share their knowledge and personal information.
Dealing Rights to Speak: Mechanism Design for Communication in a Meeting

A mechanism named the “dealing rights to speak” was designed to facilitate the participants in a meeting to discuss more frankly and logically and equalize the time for each participant’s speech. The mechanism was inspired by using a microeconomics model. We are trying to develop mechanisms that make our daily communications more productive.
