Research in Communications and Integrated Systems addresses issues across the spectrum of
Communication/Computer Systems and their bases. They include the fields of Information Theory,
Information Security, Signal Processing, Information Network, Multi-Media, Mobile Communication,
Communication Systems, Computer Architecture, VLSI System Design, VLSI Layout Design,
Algorithms for Integrated Systems, Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits, and Electronic Circuits.
The interests of our excellent faculty cover a broad rangeof research topics, and many have won
the highest distinctions in their fields. We ensure that graduatestudents pursue challenging and
significant research in the course of a rigorous professionaleducation in the class and in the laboratories.
All lectures with some exceptions in Department of Communications and Integrated Systems are
offered for the International Graduate Course program. The courses are conducted in a variety of
manner, namely lectures, quiz, seminar, and group study. All students are required to take courses
which are selected for systematic study in the specified area. All students must get guidance by both
their supervisor and the professors giving the lectures.

[Dept. of Computer Science]
Computer systems are the nucleus and essential elements in any fields of highly-developed
information society. Requirements for highly intelligent and advanced computer systems are endless, so
that we are faced with urgent demand for variation, efficiency and reliability on
information processing. Intelligent interfaces that enable friendly communication with
human are also in great demand.
In order to research and develop these systems, we need much advanced knowledge in gComputer
Science.h It includes principles of information processing based on computation theory, computer
architecture which covers hardware, software, computing environments, and artificial intelligence
which aims at giving computers an ability for managing human knowledge such as reasoning, learning
and recognition and cognitive science.
Department of Computer Science has four research areas:
(1) Integrated Information Systems: software environments in which we study efficient design
and development techniques for large and complex software. It also includes multi-media
information processing and high-speed network technologies for handling large amount of
information.
(2) Computer Systems: distributed computing, dependable computer systems, automated design
technology from small hardware for complex systems, and high-speed concurrent systems.
(3) Software Engineering: theories of algorithm, software design which is essential for
developing large and complex software. These are demanded by rapid progress of software
application fields.
(4) Intelligent Systems: knowledge engineering, inference systems, pattern recognition
technologies which are essential to recognize physical objects and visual images. This area also covers
computational linguistics in which we study technologies for natural language processing.
Students in this department have to take courses which are specialized to their research fields as well
as courses common to any fields, departments or schools in order to enrich their education
mind with a wider and inter-disciplinary view.
General courses placed at border disciplines such as Human Science or courses of international communication
to improve their presentation ability are also recommended.
The curriculum of our department is designed for students to acquire systematic knowledge both at a
basic level and at an advanced level, and to develop various abilities which are necessary for researchers
and experts in advanced science and technology.
