We strive to rapidly incorporate the needs of society and reflect them in our education and research. Starting with IoT (Internet of Things), cloud computing, big data, SDI (software design infrastructure), and server design based on open-source software, we conduct cutting-edge practical education and research in areas including artificial intelligence, sensitivity and knowledge information processing, photonic networks, next generation networks, security, and robotics.

Making use of the Computer Science Research Center, Cloud Service Center and other research facilities, students can conduct reality-based research in such subjects as IoT, ubiquitous communication, and cloud computing. Through involvement in such activities, they acquire the ability to conduct cutting-edge research and development.

Teachers endowed with abundant practical experience after working on the corporate frontline and teachers who have consistently pursued academic inquiry cooperate together in order to conduct education and directed study. Under the guidance of such diverse and talented specialist teachers, students can undertake wide-ranging learning and receive guidance in areas from profound theories to realistic problem solving.

Research Planning in Computer Science, Research in Computer Science I, Research in Computer Science II, Research in Computer Science III

Students set and plan themes and conduct research under the guidance of a tutor and over the two-year duration of the program. At the end of each semester, research presentation meetings are held so that students can present their research progress and achievements. At the end of two years of study, students write a master’s dissertation as the culmination of their research.

Machine Learning

In this course, the latest knowledge is imparted and commentary from practical viewpoints is conducted on machine learning techniques, which are becoming increasingly important in the field of information science. The mathematical basis of such techniques is also outlined. Machine learning techniques today cover a wide range of areas; this course seeks to introduce the basic knowledge and techniques of machine learning during the first half, and offer commentary on deep learning, the latest topic in this field, during the second half. Opportunities are also provided for students to experience deep learning techniques for themselves.

Information Security Application

In this course, students learn about information security technology and its applications. Starting with the basics of security in secured hardware and software, commentary is given on security policy, specific security measures, security management, and security operating technology.First, students learn about analysis methods for extracting system security threats, and then commentary is given on hardware and software threats in the shape of tamper attacks, and measures that may be used to counter them. Taking examples form encryption communication line protocol SSL/TLS as used in encrypted mails and Web browsers, public key authentication infrastructure is also introduced. In addition, students learn about OS access control technology that comprises the basis of Android and iOS security mechanisms, as well as the lifecycle of security systems. Finally, students discuss security issues and countermeasures in case examples relating to the technologies and knowledge they have acquired.

Practice of Technology for Building Cloud Computing

The creation of added value based on intellectual property is becoming more and more important.Rather than simply making things, it is increasingly necessary to conduct “value creation”, whereby such value is recognized by society. For this reason, it is necessary for students to not only raise their technical standards but to also acquire the ability to plan the technologies that should be developed. In this course, the students conduct practical training geared to planning and developing cloud services through group learning, with the objective of acquiring the ability to think in such an environment.
