Among the factors that determine the fate of an organization exposed to competition, this course focuses on excellent leaders, who must have strategies defined by the five P (Plan, Pattern, Position, Perspective, and Ploy) as the necessary condition and APEC (Aspiration, Philosophy, Ethics, and Commitment) as the sufficient condition.

This Kenkyukai is conducting research activities with the goal of building data-driven smart cities and regions. Data Driven means to make decisions and take actions based on data. In today's data-driven society, more quantitative and rational ways of thinking are required instead of the conventional qualitative decision-making. In light of this social trend, we are researching how to discover, solve, and implement problems using analytical methods that utilize data.
Concretely speaking, we use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze and map geographic data to discover problems in cities and regions, such as the environment, disaster prevention, transportation, tourism, welfare, and agriculture, to understand the causes of problems and their relationship to the people living there, to propose solutions for an ultra-smart society, and to provide policy support. We also propose solutions for an ultra-smart society and provide policy support. We are a research group that can discover problems, devise solutions, and implement them, which is a characteristic of SFC.

The purpose of this seminar is to examine various policy issues from a bottom-up approach known as “case studies”. By looking into each individual within his/her “everyday life” context, one can see how that individual life is constructed in a large whole, a community and/or society, where s/he belongs, which in return helps generate feedbacks to the existing policies. The two concepts that the seminar focuses on include “risk” and “everyday life”. While “risk” as a concept has received considerable attention from different disciplines, “everyday life” is usually taken for granted and treated more as a descriptive term, rather than an operational concept. However, without understanding what constitutes one’s “everyday life”, we fail to see that people’s thoughts and behaviors are in fact subject to changes, if and when there is a change in their physical and social environment. However, these changes may not necessarily alter the consistency in the way people live, and reflect the values s/he attaches to his/her life, for which s/he may change his/her behaviors upon situations.
Case Study, with aides from different tools from cognitive sciences, psychology, behavioral theories, and narratives, would provide a “thick” description of people’s actual living in his/her everyday life in order to understand why s/he behaves the way s/he does and where s/he needs facilitation from the environment in order to act efficiently in the face of risks. Throughout the semester, 1) the students will be provided with “concept” reading materials for discussions on Risks, decision making (behavioral economics) theories, field approaches, and research-problem definition; 2) the students will have opportunities to “get their hand dirty” by participating in two ongoing projects: School Space for Handicapped children in Vietnam; 3) the students are required to examine their everyday life through "blogging" as an intellectual exercise; and 4) The students are encouraged to develop their own topics on “risks in life.” Given this overall topic, the seminar will draw on advice from Dr. Michio Umegaki, Professor Emeritus, a Political Scientist, and the former President of Human Security Association of Japan.

Deep learning has been making remarkable progress, but there are many other methods of machine learning besides deep learning. In this workshop, we aim to acquire a broad knowledge of machine learning by combining theoretical fundamentals and actual programming.

We study matrices and vectors, in particular, how to solve the simultaneous equation, how to calculate the determinant and the inverse matrices. Moreover,
by abstracting these concepts, we study linear spaces and linear mapping.
Then a matrix can be regarded as a linear mapping. Especially, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix, and the matrix diagonalization characterize the mapping.　We often encounter these concepts in other mathematical fields including statistics.

The objective of this course is to acquire basic knowledge of computer graphics in 2D/3D space and programming in C++. There are a wide range of fields that require graphics programming, including scientific visualization, physical simulation, CG-based games, video post-processing, interactive web, and VR/AR. In this course, we will explain programming techniques, geometry, lighting models, and material settings that are commonly used in these fields, starting from a basic level. Beginners in programming are also welcome to take this course.

This English course is about developing adequate presentation skills. Speaking and discussion are the main language components of the course. Topics for class activities are based on themes related to the Japanese hospitality tradition of Omotenashi. Learning sessions are carried in such a way to help students broaden their perspective of cross-cultural issues.

Use the software to solve various problems. There are many problems that need to be solved at the university and/or in the community around us. Let's solve such a problem by making software.

In this semina, we will divide into groups and actually create software, and aim to acquire various techniques through making the software.

Creating a web application requires not only the skills to program the application itself, but also a broad knowledge of databases and the web system. In this seminar, students will be divided into groups to actually create web applications, with the aim of acquiring a variety of skills.
