This decision is subject to approval at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be convened in June 2023. The Board of Directors also decided to begin implementing organizational reforms prior to this transition, effective April 1, 2023, with the aim of establishing a business structure based on the strategic pillars of the Mid-term Management Plan 2025. Under its Purpose-driven management, NEC is promoting initiatives that combine strategy and culture in order to achieve the Mid-term Management Plan 2025 as a milestone toward the realization of the NEC 2030VISION. In this globally intensifying competitive environment, through the reform of organizations, management, people and culture, which are the foundations that support NEC's culture, NEC aims to further strengthen corporate governance and boost management speed to accelerate the growth of its global business pillars, thereby helping to achieve the Mid-term Management Plan 2025 and to increase NEC's medium- to long-term corporate value as a global technology company.1. Transition to a Company with a Nominating Committee, etc.(1) Transition objectives and overviewNEC will separate the oversight function from execution by management in order to strengthen the oversight function of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the execution of duties by executive officers as well as guiding the direction of management through deliberation of important matters related to NEC's basic management policy. In addition, the majority of the Board of Directors shall be comprised of independent outside directors (5 inside directors, 7 outside directors), and the Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee, and Audit Committee shall each be chaired by an independent outside director to promote the transparency and objectivity of management. By delegating substantial authority to executive officers with respect to business execution, NEC will accelerate timely decision-making and implementation. In line with this, in addition to strengthening the internal audit function and establishing the position of Chief Risk Officer (CRO), by reorganizing the executive meeting bodies centered on the Executive Committee, NEC will conduct swift business operations while overseeing the risks surrounding NEC.(2) Timing of transitionPlans are slated for NEC to make its transition to a Company with a Nominating Committee, etc. once the necessary amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, etc. have been approved at the 185th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of NEC scheduled to be convened in June 2023.2. Organizational reforms(1) Clarifying the organizations driving growth business in the Mid-term Management Plan 2025NEC will establish an organizational structure that allows it to concentrate on the execution of strategies for growth businesses in the Mid-term Management Plan 2025, and accelerate the execution of these strategies. Specifically, the Digital Government/Digital Finance Business will become a newly established DGDF Business Unit. In addition, NEC will integrate the business for domestic and international telecommunications carriers, including the Global 5G Business, into the "Telecom Service Business Unit," which will be newly established from renaming the "Network Service Business Unit." Moreover, NEC will unify the organizations responsible for the Healthcare and Life Science-related Businesses, such as AI Drug discovery and solutions for medical institutions, and work to expand this business, which is positioned to become one of the next pillars of growth.(2) Unify product and service functions to accelerate DX businessThe Digital Platform Business Unit will be newly established to centralize the planning, development, and provision of products and services necessary for DX business development across the NEC Group. NEC will promote the standardization of common functions and assets from a global perspective, as well as expand and strengthen its end-to-end DX offerings by leveraging all of its strengths from strategic consulting to platform (NEC Digital Platform) and delivery. By providing these offerings in combination with its know-how for each industry, NEC will contribute to resolving management agenda-related issues for customers and expanding the DX business.(3) Strengthen the support of government digitalization and national security areasNEC will implement organizational reform from the market and business model perspective. Specifically, NEC will create a new Public Business Unit, which will be responsible for projects targeting central ministries and local governments, and build a system that can centrally support the digitalization of government in Japan. In addition, NEC will newly establish the Aerospace and National Security Business Unit, which will be placed in charge of the aerospace and defense business as an organization that supports the national security field.About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of "Orchestrating a brighter world."

Protocon Announces ‘Contract Model’, an Alternative Technology to Smart Contracts

Seoul, South Korea, April 6, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Protocon, a web 3.0-based Layer 1 blockchain development project, announced a yellowpaper related to “Contract Model,” an alternative technology to smart contracts, on the March 31st. Smart contract is a technology that was first proposed by Nick Szabo in 1996 and realized in Ethereum and is a representative methodology for developing blockchain applications. Ethereum’s smart contract is a technology that combines virtual machines with blockchain to enable programming for general purposes, and almost all mainnets now adopt this method. It is no exaggeration to say that DeFi and NFT were able to become popular due to smart contracts. However, smart contracts are causing various kinds of accidents, such as the Ethereum Dao hacking, the DeFi hacking, and Solana’s Wormhole hacking incident that took place recently. In particular, the multi-billion-dollar DeFi and NFT markets have recently been managed by smart contracts, which ironically raises concern about the vulnerabilities of smart contracts. Improving the weakness of smart contracts has been a main topic of discussion in the blockchain industry for a long time. The Contract Model proposed by Protocon is the introduction of Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE), which is being applied to the development of systems that require high reliability and security, such as aircraft and military weapons, to the blockchain industry. Model-based development methodology is a theory where unit models are developed firmly and safely and combined like Lego to create a complex structure. The Contract Model developed by Protocon is basically composed of a Unit Contract Model and a Composite Contract Model. The Unit Contract Model is a unit program that provides simple functionality and ensures a high level of performance and safety because it is distributed over the network by a consensus of nodes after strict performance and security testing. The Unit Contract Model consists of three sets and three functions. The three sets represent the input, output, and state of the model, and the three functions represent the input transform function, state transition function, and output function , respectively. The Unit Contract Model can operate as an independent function by itself and is also used as a component of the Composite Contract Model. Structure of Unit Contract Model (Reference: Protocon Yellowpaper Part. 1) A Composite Contract Model is created by combining the Unit Contract Model registered in the network. For example, when implementing NFTs as loan collateral, the three Unit Contract Models; NFT, Collateral, and Loan are combined to provide new services. This also provides a significant level of performance and safety because it consists of codes that have already met performance and security standards. The technical differences between the Contract Model and the smart contract are as follows. First, performance and security are guaranteed because a Composite Contract Model can be easily structured by configuring a Unit Contract Model that has been verified in advance. In addition, new contracts can be formed by combining these verified models after various Unit Contract Models are developed for each purpose, so that blockchain application functions can be developed comprehensively with GUI tools without complicated programming processes in the future. Furthermore, smart contracts are stored in multiple blocks and executed individually for each project, but contracts with the same function in the Contract Model are called in one unit model without repetition, enabling efficient use of all computing resources. Second, it has excellent performance with the baremetal computing structure that does not use a virtual machine. In general, virtual machines run programs on an emulator by placing another OS on top of the OS, so the performance and processing speed are significantly reduced. On the other hand, since the Contract Model operates directly on the OS, the program structure is simple, and the processing performance of the hardware can be utilized 100%. This enables environmentally friendly network operation while processing more data with fewer resources. Third, it is programming language independent. Most blockchains use individual programming languages, such as Ethereum with Solidity, Solana with Rust and Cardano with Haskell. However, it takes a considerable amount of time for developers to become familiar enough to consider all the security aspects of a particular programming language, so human errors are quite likely to occur in the process when using an unfamiliar language. However, in the Contract Model, only the specification of the Unit Contract Model needs to be applied accordingly, so it can be developed independently without additional learning of a specific development language. In other words, a new Contract Model can be created by developing it in the language the programmer is most familiar with. Therefore, the Contract Model provides more stable and reliable smart contract functions, including all functions supported by smart contracts. The Protocon team has already implemented and tested the majority of the functions using blockchain such as token model, NFT model, data model, and DID model with the methodology of Contract Model, and is currently operating a testnet to conduct verification and improvement work. Protocon is short for Protocol Economy Network, a blockchain project to build Web 3.0 infrastructure technology. The mainnet has been developed since 2019 and is scheduled to officially operate in August this year. The yellowpaper part 1 is the first result of the technological innovation pursued by the Protocon team, and the team will subsequently unveil yellowpaper part 2 related to facthash technology, which dramatically improves cross-chain related performance and safety by improving data verification between heterogeneous networks.

Man charged with murder of 49-year-old at Bedok Reservoir Road flat

SINGAPORE- A man who allegedly killed another in a Bedok Reservoir Road flat last weekend appeared in a district court on Monday (April 5) and was charged with murder. Naing Lin, 49, is said to have stabbed the victim, who is of the same age, last Saturday. There is no further information on the weapon used as of this point. In an statement on Saturday evening, police said that they were alerted to the incident at around 10.15am that day. Officers arrived at the unit and found the victim lying motionless at the scene. A resident, who lives in the same block and wanted to be known only as Mr Seow, 55, had earlier told Chinese-language newspaper Shin Min Daily News that the unit was cordoned off at noon on Saturday. He said: "There were about six police officers along the corridor. They did not disclose what happened and told me only to leave quickly." Another neighbour, domestic helper Ms Yato, 32, said that she had heard two men quarrelling in the unit on Friday night. According to her, one of the men then shouted: "Stop it! I'm already angry." Naing Lin is remanded at the Central Police Division and his case has been adjourned to April 12. Offenders convicted of murder will face the death penalty.
