授業の概要
／Course outline		 Computers are machines that manipulate information. Fundamental study of computer science includes the problems how information is organized in the computer, how it can be manipulated, and how it can be utilized. The efficiency of programming and data processing is directly linked to algorithms and the structures of the data being processed. Thus, it is crucial for students of computer science to understand the concepts of information organization, information manipulation and algorithms.
In this course, students learn a range of algorithms and data structures as well as how to implement them through programming exercises.
授業の目的と到達目標
／Objectives and attainment
goals		 Students will be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of data structures and algorithms as well as to develop efficient algorithms. In addition, the students will be able to apply the state-of-the-art of data structures and algorithms for solving problems and developing software. The aim of the exercises is to solve practical problems under limited resources and know from experience that the efficiency of an algorithm is much more important than that of hardware. Acquired knowledge and techniques will be used for their state-of-the-art research and software development in the future.

授業の概要
／Course outline		 This course “Information Theory and Data Compression” gives knowledge and basic skills as follows. Transmitting information efficiently and accurately is one of the important technical challenges in the modern digital society. Information theory is rooted in mathematical formulation and provides a theoretical solution to this problem. The idea of information theory makes it possible to construct an efficient coding for information communication and error correction by utilizing the probability and the statistical theorem. Information theory plays an important role in fields such as image data compression, cryptology theory, network communication, information quantity evaluation, etc.

／Course outline		 Operating systems are an essential part of any computer system. Similarly, a course on operating systems is an essential part of any computer-science education. The operating system provides certain services to programs and to the users of those programs in order to make the programming task easier. In this course, four parts of the core of operating systems will be mainly learned. They are process management, memory and storage management, file system management, and I/O system management. Also, some abstract concepts such as cooperation of multi-process and deadlock will be discussed. We do not concentrate on any particular operating system or hardware. Instead, we discuss fundamental concepts that are applicable to a variety of systems. We present a large number of examples that pertain specifically to UNIX and to other popular operating systems.

授業の概要
／Course outline		   Theory of automata and languages is one of the most fundamental fields of theory of computing. The core concept is to obtain the method to describe infinite sets which are called languages (countable ones are dealt in this field mainly).
  We study two important systems to describe them: Automata, the recognizing/accepting systems, and Grammars, the generating systems. We study the relation of formal languages through grammars and automata. We focus on hierarchies of languages.
  They are standard tools of the well-educated computer scientist, who often uses them to reformulate a problem in an easily solvable form, or to recognize the language that cannot be feasibly handled in general.
授業の目的と到達目標
／Objectives and attainment
goals		 At the end of the course the student should be able to:

1. know the necessity to describe infinite (countable)
   sets(= languages) correctly

2. know methods to describe languages, automata as recognizers
   and grammars as generators of them

3. design automata and grammars for languages

4. understand the restriction on the automata and grammars and
   the hierarchy of describing powers of languages caused by
    such restriction

5. understand the relation between automata and grammars

Important items students should know and obey are explained. Then, languages we study in this course is introduced, and automata and grammars as devices for describing languages are generally explained.

2. Automata

Automata and languages accepted by them are extensively studied. We deal with finite automata(FA) and pushdown automata(PDA). Three classes of finite automata (deterministic finite automata(DFA), nondeterministic finite automata(NFA), nondeterministic finite automata with empty moves(ﾎｻ-NFA, also known as ﾎｵ-NFA)) and their relationship is explained. We also deal with minimization of DFAs.

3. Grammars

Grammars and languages generated by them are explained in detail. Following four types of grammars and languages are explained: regular grammars(RG) and regular languages(RL), context-free grammars(CFG) and context-free languages(CFL). We deal with regular expressions(RE) as an expression of regular languages. Normal forms of context-free grammar (Chomsky normal form(CNF) and Griebach Normal form(GNF) are also explained.

4. Relationship between Automata and Grammars

We learn relationship between automata and grammars as the devices to describe languages. Correspondences between finite automata and regular grammars, pushdown automata and context-free grammars are explained,

5. The Hierarchy of Language Classes

We establish a hierarchy among language classes and show some property which every language in one class satisfies, and then using it, we show the existence of a language which does not belong to the class. That is, we explain followings: Properties of Regular Languages and the Existence of Languages which are not Regular, Properties of Context-Free Languages and the Existence of Languages which
are not Context-Free.

6. The computability and computational complexity

We briefly explain the existence of non-computable problems even if they are formally defined. As an example of such problems, we introduce the Halting Problem. We also briefly explain the introduction of computational complexity and show some topics such as P and NP classes of computational complexity, NP complete class and some examples of NP complete problems.

Class schedule for each professor is as follows.

／Note for course registration		 Students will be expected to have taken F3 Discrete Systems course. Moreover, they are expected to have fundamental knowledge about not only Programming and Algorithms but also Computer hardware and its behavior.

Language Processing Systems requires the knowledge studied in this course. Especially, in the first part (lexical analysis and syntax analysis) of a language processing system such as a compiler, the knowledge of automata and grammars is indispensable. Therefore, students who will study Language Processing Systems are strongly recommended to enroll this course.

授業の概要
／Course outline		 Software Engineering is a field concerning technologies and methods related to software development. It is about how software should be built, how they should be managed and includes a wide range of both theoretical and practical knowledge. As the presence of software in our daily life seems only to increase, the importance of software engineering is also increasing. It is also one of the fundamental knowledge of software that any engineer in the IT field should understand.
In this course, we first study the processes involved in the making of software and understand how they affect the final product. For each stage of the process, we consider issues that need to be solved and visit related technologies and methods that are available. In presentation of available technologies and methods, the goal is to understand the issues and their representative solutions. Both historical and cutting-edge technologies will be introduced as necessary. We will not cover the differences that arise with different forms of software (such as, embedded, web-based, parallel, etc.) but focus on more general and common aspects.
In summary, this course focuses on understanding the knowledge and technology sets comprising Software Engineering.
In exercises, to help the understanding of basic knowledge, students will work on concrete exercise problems. Each exercise class covers one stage of the development process, and the work required in each stage will be covered one-by-one. Each exercise is designed with a real-world application in mind it is possible to realize issues that are difficult to notice only by theory and basics. After completing all the exercises, students will experience a typical development process and understand its role and effects.
