授業の概要
/Course outline
Parallel and Internet computing is a science concerning in solving a problem by giving parts of the problem to many computers to solve, and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. The course focuses on comparative and historical analysis of different approaches to parallel computing. Some specific topics related to the reliability and accuracy of parallel computations are discussed. We also show and compare different parallel programming paradigms including SIMD, Message Passing and Shared Memory Programming.

授業の概要
/Course outline
The aim of declarative programming is to describe problems to be solved as programs in 'declarative' way based on mathematical properties of the problem. Writing programs in declarative style, we can examine the properties and the correctness of the programs using techniques based on mathematics or logic.
  Declarative rogramming contains functional programming, logic programming, functional-logic programming, and so on. This course especially concerns
functional programming, which is based on the theory of mathematical functions. The student learns basics of functional programming with a functional programming language Haskell.

One of the most important issues the software industry affronts is diversity of platforms. Model-driven software development is spotlighted as a technology to deal with diversity of platforms because we need to construct software systems across multiple platforms in different architecture or software system tolerates change of platforms.
In the model-driven software development, we can deal with diversity of platforms by building platform-independent models and transforming them into platform-specific models. The technology also aims to improvement of productivity by generating code from the models.
*Lectures will be given in Japanese

授業の概要
/Course outline
Our current software engineering methods and techniques have made us much better at building systems of different sizes and complexity. They are mostly intended to support professional software development rather than individual programming. There are many software 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 a variety of topics in modern software engineering, from software development processes to AI-driven development.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
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 impact 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. Students will be able to develop software using the theory and development methods learned in this course and apply their experience in this course to their research activities in support of software development.

The course lectures are covering the following topics:

Professional software development
Software processes
Agile software development
Requirements engineering
