The Department of Computer Science focuses on
technologies relating to the design and application of
computers, which play a central role in our advanced
information society. The department aims to accomplish the following:
To train first-rate computer engineers possessing
broad practical knowledge and understanding;
To contribute to the systematization of computer
science;
To contribute to the enhancement of the technological
capabilities of the community, centering on the Koriyama technopolis.
The means by which the department accomplishes
these goals are as follows:
Education in the fundamentals of computer science
through basic coursework in information science,
as well as through experimentation and actual practice.
Specialized education through elective coursework
in information science, and experimentation and practice
with the newest computer systems.
Education of the whole person, incorporating the
dynamic melding of general and specialized coursework,
taking advantage of our status as an all-around university
having a spacious campus and a variety of club activities.
Areas of investigation include a variety of topics:
research related to hardware such as parallel computers;
software research such as that relating to specification
descriptions; information-systems research such
as that relating to voice- and image-processing and
computer-supported cooperative work; application-technology
research such as that relating to computer-simulation and
automated-design methodologies; and
research into computer-related mathematics such as
numerical analysis. The facilities supporting this education
and research include supercomputers, high-performance
image-processing workstations, Unix workstations,
and X-window terminals -- all running on local area networks.
