Fundamental Science and EngineeringCreative Science and EngineeringAdvanced Science and EngineeringⅠ FeaturesⅡ History and ProfileⅢ RequirementsCONTENTS ◇ Information Systems ArchitectureIn this research area, we conduct a wide range of studies, from basics to applications, on information processing covering networks and their nodes which are computers, hardware, and software. In the field of information processing technologies develop very rapidly, so that even if research results are temporarily achieved, they soon become obsolete. A feature of this research area, however, is that it aims to discover leading-edge themes without being constrained to the existing framework of research.Specifically, the content of the research guidance is as follows:1. Parallel processing hardware/softwareStudies are conducted on the architecture, software (automatic parallelizing compiler, parallel OS, scheduling, etc.), and application of parallel processing technology, which is today’s basic architectural technology for all computers—from microprocessors to supercomputers.2. Infrastructure software and advanced applicationStudies are conducted on infrastructure software such as operating systems, distributed middleware, and network software, and advanced applications realized by using them. Infrastructure software studies include those on resource management and abstraction, infrastructure software development methods, security, large-scale information management, high reliability, real-time processing, etc. Studies on advanced applications include those on advanced multi-media applications including image analysis and phonetic analysis, very large-scale data management applications such as web search, ubiquitous computing applications that integrate real world and cyber spaces, etc.♦ Communications and Computer Engineering◇ Information SystemsStudies are conducted from a theoretical and practical point of view regarding design methodologies and CAD (computer-aided design) methods for a wide range of systems covering computers, entire information communication network systems, and VLSIs (very-large-scale integrated circuits) which are indispensable system components. From a theoretical perspective, basic fields of study such as algorithms and data structures, computer programming techniques, computational complexity theory, computational geometry, graph theory, and combination theory are covered. From a practical perspective, design (architecture, functional synthesis, logical synthesis, layout, and test) and analysis (modeling, simulation, operation verification, reliability, operation speed, and power consumption) of large-scale networks, print circuits, packaging, multi-tip modules, LSIs for image and communication processing, general and special-purpose processors, analog functional elements, etc. are covered.Specifically, the content of the research guidance is as follows:1. Design and analysis systemTo create advanced computers, information communication systems, etc., SoC (System on a 65
