FU14 Introduction to Software Engineering
更新日／Last updated on 2024/01/24
授業の概要
／Course outline		 Students will develop software for real-world customers in teams and deepen their understanding of software engineering.
In this course, each student team will receive a development request from a real customer. On average, each team will consist of 3-10 students. Teams will start by listening to customer's requests and defining the requirements of the software. This will be followed by design, development, and test phases, and on Week 14, each team will present their project activity and the completed software and finally deliver the software to the customer.
Professional software engineers will support each team as coaches to advise on practical development tasks. Each team will report their progress to the coaches and lecturers every week. Meetings with customers will be held as required. The phases of the development will be controlled by specific deliverables that must be submitted to advance to the next phase. Teams will present at two review meetings (interim and final), where they must quantitatively analyze project work hours, accomplishments, and quality.
To deliver software that best satisfies customer requirements, including functional and quality requirements, utmost creativity and effort are imperative. Many outside classroom hours are spent to acquire necessary knowledge and skills and revise work. Furthermore, self-motivated and proactive involvement by all team members is essential for a successful delivery.

PL03 JAVA Programming I
更新日／Last updated on 2024/01/24
授業の概要
／Course outline		 Concurrent programs take advantage of modern multicore and multiprocessor machines to implement algorithms that run concurrently (in parallel) to achieve higher performance and better user experience. Distributed computing brings this idea to the next level, dealing with the systems made up of independent computers, linked by a network.

At the present time, both concurrent and distributed systems are widespread, due to high popularity of multicore machines and computer networks. However, the design and implementation of such systems and corresponding software remains a challenging task. We have to know how to coordinate independent processes to achieve high performance and avoid common pitfalls.

The goal of this course is to introduce the basics of concurrent and distributed systems design and implementation. We will cover a number of classical and modern approaches to this problem, paying special attention to the practical aspects of implementation using Java language.

授業の概要
／Course outline		 Big data analytics (BDA) represents a complex process of analyzing voluminous data to uncover useful information -- such as hidden patterns, correlations, market trends and customer preferences -- that can help organizations make informed business decisions.

BDA is the fundamental course for machine learning and deep learning courses. Without proper knowledge on BDA, it is very difficult to develop machine learning/deep learning process.

A student/person who aspires to achieve mastery in machine learning/deep learning must have acquire the knowledge on the following courses:

Database systems – Artificial Intelligence – Big Data Analytics – Information Extraction and Retrieval – Graph Analytics – Machine Learning – Deep Learning

One period of teaching + two periods of exercise

／Objectives and attainment
goals		 [Corresponding Learning Outcomes]
(A)Graduates are aware of their professional and ethical responsibilities as an engineer, and are able to analyze societal requirements, and set, solve, and evaluate technical problems using information science technologies in society.

Technological advances in the field of computer science have enabled organizations to collect voluminous data in databases. Useful knowledge that can empower end-users with competitive information is hidden in this voluminous data. Unfortunately, conventional statistical techniques are inadequate to extract knowledge hidden in this data. This scenario is called “Data Rich-Information Poor Situation” (or finding a needle in a haystack).  The field of BDA has emerged to address this problem in real-world applications.

In this course, the students will learn the following topics:
1. Properly storing the raw data in the databases.
2. Constructing data warehouses to analyze voluminous data.
3. Various imputation techniques.
4. Different knowledge discovery techniques, such as Pattern mining, Clustering, Classification, and Prediction.
