In this class, students will PRACTICE academic debate by standing on the affirmative or on the negative side on a specific topic. After learning key concepts and some rules unique to academic debate, students will be divided into teams and make research cooperatively in support of their positions. Class evaluation will be done by students (50%; also 50% by the instructor), based on the actual PERFORMANCES of the students. This will make this project more student “cooperative”.
Most of the courses that students take as computer science majors emphasize scientific discipline and the accumulation of "truth." This computer music SCCP includes such technically objective factors, but also encourages original, creative expression, subjectively motivated by aesthetics rather than "correctness." Unlike most other courses that try to converge on a "right answer" shared by everyone, artistic disciplines like computer music encourage originality, in which the best work is one that is like no one else's!
It is important to exploit music and sound as a full partner in computer-human interfaces. To explore this potential we must explore audio analogs to visual modes of expression and also develop expressive models unique to audio. This SCCP fills a gap in the multimedia/human factors curriculum, simultaneously exploring issues in sound as well as computer tools available to manipulate sound and music.

No prior knowledge of music techniques is assumed.
Graded music theory exercises.
Progressive composition of songs, presented at an informal end of term recital.
Most of the coursework is reading articles and doing lab exercises involving a student-composed song. Both emphasize creative applications of music technology. The SCCP surveys areas listed and provides students with the opportunity to explore some or all of them according to their own interests.

iPhone and iPad are sophisticated devices that offer hi-tech applications, systematized interface and an ingenious platform for application developers.
iPhone and iPad are rapidly becoming omnipresent and users rely on mobile applications for their communications, business activities, entertainment, learning activities and countless other usage scenarios.
This SCCP course provides an introduction to a project-based experience in the development of mobile applications on iOS (Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod) platform.
The goal of this class is to get you through the learning curve of iPhone/iPad/iPod development: to give you the confidence and knowledge you need to branch out on your own.
Upon completing this project students would be able to understand the basic steps to develop an iPhone/iPad/iPod application. Also they will be able to understand the details of the application development from the planning to marketing in Apple App store.
During the course the following topics will be covered:
- Introduction to iPhone/iPad
- Introduction to iOS
- Introduction to SDK and Xcode
- Study of Objective C
- Project planning
- Project examples
More topics and projects will also be covered.
There is no specific textbook, but some materials will be distributed during the course.
1. It is recommended that students have some background in C programming language .
2. Background in data structure and algorithms is helpful.
3. It is recommended that students have background in object oriented programming concepts.
4. It is recommended if the students have an iPhone (or iPad) and familiar with its use.
There will be several ways of assessment including a mix of the following:
1. Quizzes
2. Reports
3. Seminars
4. Projects
5. Class activities and attendance
Reference materials will be introduced during the lectures.
This project studies next generation network-system administration.
This project studies and develop a NOVEL scheme for the construction
and administration of
future internet, cloud, and post-cloud
This project will construct systems using
content-based network and virtual servers on grids. The system will be
designed, constructed, and
maintained based on a service oriented architecture. The project will
treat complex event processing. The project also treats graph-base
data model. Several sample systems will be constructed. Erlang and
related computer languages will be used to construct a distributed
system on a virtual content-based network. XML-DBMS will be used to
construct and manages messaging histories.
Schedule in detail will be changed.
1st-3rd： Survey
4th-7th： Construction of Secure data grid and IEEE 1888-based network
8-12th： Loosely Coupled Integration
13-15th： Evaluation of the proposed scheme, sample implementations of the project.
Assignmens and Contribution to the project
This project studies Ultra Discrete "超離散" and related topics.
We construct a NEW field of applied mathematics.
The objectives of this course is to study ultra discrete, difference equation.
Furthermore, novel approaches to construct a
new digital signal processing framework will be studied.
From 1st week to the 5th week: Survey of the researches related with ultradiscrete, difference methods, and soliton.
From 6th week to 10th week: Study the particular topics.

This is a basic Korean course designed to introduce Korean language and culture. Students will learn some basic Korean words and expressions that they can use in conversation. They will practice the Korean expressions they learned with their fellow students and instructors, who are native speakers of Korean. We will also have several cultural sessions, during which they can 1) watch Korean movies/dramas, 2) listen to Korean music and 3) eat Korean food. Some guest speakers, who are native speakers of Korean, will visit the class to give a lecture on interesting cultural topics.
The main objective of this course is two-fold. First, it provides some basic knowledge in Korean that they can use in simple conversations with their potential Korean friends, business partners or customers. Second, it introduces some cultural aspects of Korea so that they can better understand the country. Students will learn not only how the Korean culture is different from the Japanese culture but also how to adapt to a foreign culture in general. This class will help those who will study/travel abroad with how to adapt to a foreign culture.

Week 2 Korean consonants (Hangul)
Week 3 Korean vowels (Hangul)
Week 4 Korean syllables (Hangul)
