Almost nobody denies that in conducting any kind of research, we must be careful about human rights and their implementation. Although, however, there exist international declaration and guidelines, they merely represent aspirational goals to achieve. In order to foster our understanding of ethical matters related to research, it is important to look at history of experimentation on human beings and to review various theories of ethics from which we have derived principles that we usually follow in conducting research. On the basis of such general knowledge of research ethics, ideally, we can properly examine each of actual research situations and devise appropriate solutions to the difficulties involved in it. This course will provide an initial step for it. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
We will learn the history of research ethics and consider how to conduct general approaches mainly by taking a close look at relevant cases. Through this course of study, we will train ourselves to be familiar with theoretical backgrounds of research ethics and thereby to be able to analyze each of situations in research that may cause ethical problems. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
1. General introduction to research ethics (I). We will mainly address the issue of human experimentation by briefly overviewing several notorious cases including the Nazi Experiments and the Cold War Experiments. 2. General introduction to research ethics (II). We will then consider how ethical codes and guide lines historically developed. We will also do an exercise for this topic. 3. Approaches to ethical analysis (I). We will review a number of major ethical theories, which are systematically related to bodies of principles and rules related to research. To begin with, we will overview casuistry, communitarianism, and feminist ethics. 4. Approaches to ethical analysis (II). Next, we will consider the three major theories of normative ethics: deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics. We may also do an exercise for this topic. 5. Ethical issues before the study begins (I). We will address the issue of how to design the study, which includes formulating inclusion and exclusion criteria -- who should be permitted to participate and who should not participate in the study. 6. Ethical issues before the study begins (II). We will consider the purpose and function of ethical review committees before discussing various types of conflicts of interest. We may also do an exercise regarding assessment of conflicts of interest. 7. Ethical issues during and after the study. We will overview topics of importance during and after the study, which include the informed consent process, confidentiality and privacy concerns, authorship, and research misconducts. |

In recent years, there is a growing demand for the creation of innovative businesses based on the university's research. University-Business research collaboration, such as collaborative research projects, is one of key approaches to meet the demands. In order to achieve goals of the projects, it is often considered essential to obtain and utilize the intellectual property (IP) rights. In addition, IP management are becoming more important for not only these research projects but any R&D project of new technologies. In order to actively engage with these research project, the researchers need to be familiar with the IP system, especially patent system because it can protect the technical idea of research. The lecturer will explain intellectual property rights protection, management and utilization indispensable for the development of IT technology and business, starting from the basic knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
Students of this class can mainly learn overview of IP, and learn how to file patent applications/how to obtain patent rights. The students can deepen their understanding of the use of IP through exercises /assignments on some topics. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
Day 1 (Overview of IP and patent system) 1. Overview of Intellectual Property (IP) : general topics 2. Overview of IP: detailed topics 3. Overview of patent system: procedures of patent applications 4. Overview of patent system: determining patentability Day 2 (Preparing a proposal to file a patent application) 5.

As technology of computer science and engineering is changing rapidly, it is very necessary to catch up with hot issues accordingly for students who are carrying out research in this field. For example, artificial intelligence and its application on several domains, IoT technologies, distributed network and security issues, robotics, big data analytics, Bioinformatics, and other research topics in computer science and engineering can be illustrated as emerging topics. In keeping with this trend, this course deals with survey of current state of the art of hot topics and suggestion of important research issues related to the topics. Free discussions on the contents that have been covered in a course, will fill up possible deficiencies and improve the course with detailed issues among students in the discussion. Topics are decided not only by considering hot research trends based on study fields of GS basically, but by requests from faculties and students. The courses consist of presentation of teaching and discussion with Q&A. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
This course aims to help of giving information and knowledge for students’ research and catching up with fast research changes on computer science and engineering. Also, it can give useful information for some idea on their researches. Through topics covered in this course, students will obtain information and knowledge on important research issues and figure out current state of the art of some hot topics in computer science and engineering, and can apply them to develop an idea for their researches. Grasp of broad knowledge on the issues can give a good chance toward fusion of the technologies too. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
