Division of Computer Science
What are the goals of the Division of Computer Science?
The Division of Computer Science offers educational and research programs geared toward creating engineers and researchers who will support a knowledge-based society and become active in the international arena. Through systematic teaching of the fundamentals and applications of the two relevant pillars of knowledge - software science and mathematical science - potential engineers and researchers are trained to properly handle the vast amount of diverse information available in the digital network era.

What research activities are under way?
The Division of Computer Science is increasing its efforts to create basic theories for extracting information and knowledge from the vast amount of data, and for developing technologies necessary to search for, utilize and distribute such knowledge in networks. When handling information from the viewpoint of information science, efforts are being made to elucidate phenomena in various fields, such as natural science, including computer science, social science and humanities, in order to provide theoretical foundations.

What characteristics do the research groups have?
The Division of Computer Science has three research groups - the Research Group of Knowledge Software Science, the Research Group of Mathematical Information Science and Research Group of Large-scale Discrete Computation. The Research Group of Knowledge Software Science develops technologies designed to support the distribution and reuse of knowledge via networks, manages network data in a user-friendly manner and develops theories and technologies necessary to extract useful knowledge. The Research Group of Mathematical Information Science conducts research to elucidate phenomena in various fields not only in computer science but also natural science, social science and humanities, and to provide theoretical foundations by handling information from the viewpoint of information science. Research is also under way by making full use of these methodologies in a wide range of fields, such as the analysis of human sensitivity and emotions, the establishment of intelligent interfaces, and data mining (knowledge discovery from vast amounts of data).
