While information technologies including Cyber Physical System (CPS), Internet/World Wide Web, and AI are evolving day by day, the environmental burden and sustainability of this technological era are becoming increasingly clear as an issue. On the other hand, in the 21st century, problems surrounding the global environment, such as climate warming, air pollution, and oceanic pollution, are becoming increasingly serious. Solving these problems is a critical issue for human society, and research for this purpose has made progress in each area. In this course, we will discuss both of these two fields, which have developed independently, and focus on a new research area that integrates them.
In this course, various technologies will be discussed from two main aspects: (a) greening and sustainability of information technology itself, and (b) technologies focusing on individual topics of environmental issues and their utilization/social implementation, and the discussion will be deepened through actual system construction.
This course will be an omnibus course, with lecturers specializing in each topic giving classes throughout the semester. The course consists of two types of lectures: lectures that are completed in one class each, and lectures and group work that are scheduled for three to four consecutive weeks.
This course will be led by Tadashi Okoshi, along with following guest lecturers from inside and outside Keio University
