Cyber Informatics(CI)
This Program develops men and women who can design the upcoming ubiquitous network society and those who can create the platform that provides the infrastructure. These are the people who create new trends in the IT field. The IT specialists that this Program aims to develop are:
- professional engineers capable of joining a business and contributing immediately
- researchers and innovators with bold technological vision
- venture entrepreneurs who understand the technology
- CIOs and designers who deploy and use the technology
The Program focuses on "Novel Computing and Communication Systems" that go beyond the framework of existing computer science. The core areas of the Program are:
- Internet Systems and Applications
- Ubiquitous Computing and Networking
- System Software
- Knowledge and Information Systems
- Information Security
- Interaction Design
- Enterprise Computing
Each area has systematic courses. Through taking these courses and pursuing advanced, practical research in Project Courses, students acquire the ability to practice IT and resolve problems in the real world.
