Our current software engineering methods and techniques have made us much better at building large and complex systems than we were. However, there are still too many projects that are late, are over budget and do not deliver the software that meets the customer’s needs. There is, therefore, still a pressing need for software engineering education. This course covers many current topics of interest in software engineering. Some of the topics covered are formal methods to specify requirements of software systems, software design strategies, and evaluation of processes, products, and resources.
The course can be useful for undergraduate and graduate students. It may be used in general software engineering, software specification, software design and management. The objective of the course is to impart knowledge to students about methods in software development including basic and advanced topics. The methods range from how to precisely specify software requirements to how to evaluate the methods and their products and required resources. This is achieved in three parts: first, lectures are given on several current topics of interest; second, students are asked to make a presentation on a topic interesting to them; and third, students are given a programming project to design and implement a system using the Object-Oriented (Java) or Mobile Programming Environment.

Software industry is growing very fast. It is getting impossible to study the tools in detail to implement new software projects. Students should manage a large amount of tools in order to figure out how to start using them knowing only a little at the beginning and how to get detailed information about features when they need them. In the other words, students have to understand key ideas and they have to be able to apply them in practice.
One of the key tendencies in the software development area is a priority of WEB applications. The corresponding branch of software engineering is growing very fast. We are facing increasing demands for professionals who can design large Web systems.
The aim of this course is to study current concepts and methods for Internet application engineering.

ソフトウェア開発の歴史は、抽象度向上の歴史である。機械語から始まり、アセンブラー言語、第三世代言語と抽象度が高まるにしたがって、ソフトウェア開発の生産性も向上した。しかし、近年主流になりつつJavaといえども、手続きの内容をテキスト形式で記述するという点では、1950年代に登場したFORTRANと本質的には変わっておらず、抽象度の向上による生産性の向上以上に要求が多様化複雑化している現在では、更なる抽象化が求められている。この点からもモデルに基づく開発の重要性は増している。

There is a myth that only artists, composers, writers, singers,
actors, inventors and others of these types are creative people.
There is also a myth that creativity is mysterious and uncontrollable
burst of inspiration available only to a lucky few; the creative
process is considered the same as the process of spiritual growth,
etc. In fact, IT specialists are the most creative persons: they
understand people needs, applications, corresponding abstract models
and transforms knowledge into design and implementations.
In this course, creativity is considered as ability to create new and
useful things and/or to add new and useful features for existing
things. Each person has talent to innovate, but to demonstrate the
creativity, it is necessary to be in good physical and mental
conditions, possess special knowledge, and regularly practice in
the use of the knowledge. The course provides some approaches and
methods to develop creativity based on ideas of dualism of processes
and phenomena, alternative actions, multiple views of objects, and a
concept of good classifications.
They are to enhance student ability to innovate, that is "to see what
no one else is seeing," "to think what no one else is thinking,"
and "to understand why people miss their chances." The objectives also
include recommendations for 1) understanding existing things and their
specific features and getting some possible hints about non-existing
things or new features, and for 2) how to predict usefulness of the
things and features.
Course themes include:
- New examples of creativity,
- Overcoming inability to use familiar objects in an unfamiliar way,
- Acquiring knowledge to prepare mind,
- Preparing mind for the feeling of passion,
- Other strategies for creativity,
- Self-explanatory components for programming,
- Multimedia hieroglyphs for communication,
- 3D Kanji for preserving traditions and developing new cultural assets.
Handouts will be provided in lectures

2. Technical report on “Classification of Objects” (40 points)

Usually parallel languages and parallel programming are considered as means and activity to extract maximum performance from some computer architecture. Growing role of multi-core and many-core systems makes users spend a lot of energy and time for technical aspects of application algorithm implementations. This essentially decreases their abilities in developing application models, performing necessary experiments and creating practical systems. In this course a new programming methodology based on a new multimedia programming environment is presented. Within this environment, programs are created as information resources with multiple clarifications and human performance, rather than hardware performance, is a focus. The course is supported by practical exercises helping in understanding new forms of modeling and programming in pictures.
They are to give students a vision of modeling/programming systems of a new generation where pictures and moving pictures (animation) are used as super-characters for representing features of computational algorithms and data structures. They are also to explain how a cluster of visual languages and supportive tools are combined into a uniform framework to 1) integrate programming experience/knowledge and forms of their representation, and to 2) generate executable codes from picture-based specifications.
In addition, students will get a basic skill of programming in *AIDA (Star-AIDA) language within Filmification modeling (F-modeling) environment and learn how introducing new super-characters representing a set of parallel activity coordinators (for Master-workers schemes, Send-receive, Data-flow, Pipeline and Statechart alliances) enhances intelligent aspects of the environment in general and allows obtaining special features required by applications.
Course themes include:
-Overview and classification of parallel computer architectures and programming languages; examples of programming constructs for Message-Passing Interface and other conventional languages.
-Visual languages and programming in pictures.
-Algorithmic CyberFrames, CyberScenes and CyberFilm; Languages of Integrated view, Algorithmic Dynamics, Command and Interface views.
-Algorithms as activities in 4-dimential space-time; super-characters to declare space data structures, their substructures and slices; super-characters to define traversal schemes on space data structures.
-Super-characters to define computational activity units (formulas, etc.); annotations for variables and language constructs; folding/unfolding techniques for formulas.
-Examples of *AIDA programs; comparisons of *AIDA and conventional language constructs.
-Executable diagrams for master-workers schemes, send-receive, data-flow, pipeline and statechart alliances.
-Template programs behind super-characters and automatic code generation.
-Interface panels of F-modeling environment and their features.
-*AIDA programs as information resources of a new type.
