2025年12月7日から10日まで、オーストラリア・メルボルンのMelbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) で開催された学会、IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM 2025)に参加してきました。名前の通り、産業工学とエンジニアリングマネジメントの分野で世界をリードする国際会議で、主催者発表では約500名の参加者（50カ国以上から）とのこと。
ゼミでも何度かシェアしている「Quantitative Evaluation of the Developer-centric Approach in the Microcontroller Board Market」を発表し、M5StackとArduino の日本市場での販売データをもとに、M5Stackの多品種戦略が効果を出してることをもとにプレゼンを行いました。
学会の最終日、希望者のみでスワンベイン大学（Swinburne University of Technology）のDigital Manufacturing Centreを訪問。 3Dプリンタや工作機械がおいてある、金沢工大の夢工場に似たスペースですが、「工場の設計を考える」が主体のため、生産ラインを模した設備があるなど、特徴を感じる場所でした。
For as long as I can remember,
The windows always glowed for me,
In the room filled with quiet spring,
And embroidered towels on the wall.
In that sacred, peaceful chamber,
A child’s heart would read and know
Shevchenko’s kind and watchful eyes,
And golden patterns in a row.
Chorus
Mother, your children are like birds, Spreading wings into the sky. Mother, to your tender room, We’ll return again by and by.
Verse 2
That endless childhood temptation –
Open the door and you will see,
A table dressed in Sunday white
And mother waiting patiently.
Verse 3
For as long as I can remember,
That white cloth always shone so bright.
In your room, dear mother, I know,
Every day felt like Sunday light.
Chorus
Mother, your children are like birds, Spreading wings into the sky. Mother, to your tender room, We’ll return again by and by.
Verse 4
Maybe far from home and shelter,
My wings will falter in the air.
The star will fade, and after that –
No more nightingales anywhere.
Verse 5
Son, remember this, my son –
No matter where life takes your flight,
All may leave their mother’s home,
But none forget its gentle light.
Chorus (x2)
Mother, your children are like birds, Spreading wings into the sky. Mother, to your tender room, We’ll return again by and by.
ロビーに出ていたブースにはいくつか企業ではなく個人でやっているものもあり、Nucleonさんはその１人です。(写真右)ブースで話したところ、私と同世代くらいでお互い少し言葉がわかりそうということでした。WeChatを交換してその後も相談をすることがあります。11月のMaker Fare Shenzhenでまた会えるのを楽しみにしています。
