授業の概要 /Course outline |
Computers manipulate information. Learning how to organize, manipulate, and use information is critical to using computers efficiently and effectively. An essential need in programming is efficient algorithms (arithmetic) for solving problems or processing large amounts of data. This efficiency is directly tied to the structure of the data being processed. Data structure is a way of organizing data so that changes to and access to the data can be done efficiently, taking into account not just the set of data, but also their relationships to each other. In this class, students learn a broad range of algorithms and data structures, and how to define and implement them through programming exercises. |

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, three parts of the core of operating systems will be mainly learned, including process management, memory management, and storage management. This course does not concentrate on any particular operating system or hardware, but introduces some fundamental concepts that are applicable to a variety of systems. For examples, some abstract concepts such as cooperation of multi-threading and deadlocks will be discussed. |

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 |
[competency code] C-AL-007 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 |
授業スケジュール /Class schedule |
Although class schedule depends on professors, each professor deals with the following topics (the order depends on professors). 1. Introduction 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(lλ-NFA, also known as ε-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.

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 and how it should be managed and includes a wide range of both theoretical and practical knowledge. As the presence of software in our daily lives 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 making software and understand how they affect the final product. We consider issues that need to be solved for each stage of the process and visit related technologies and available methods. The goal of presenting available technologies and methods 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 them understand 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 individually. Each exercise is designed with a real-world application in mind, so 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. |
