With the trend of mobile computing and ubiquitous computing since the end of the 20th century for the wellbeing of people and groups, computers have become faster, larger, smaller, and more wireless, and have widely penetrated into our daily lives. In this research, we are constantly looking into the future, more than 10 years into the future, to define the mental, physical, and social wellbeing of our lives (in both physical and cyber space) in the future, and to research and develop ICT/AI and other technologies to realize it.

As computers become more sophisticated, faster, and smaller, including personal computers, smart devices, and wearable devices, and as they are networked with each other, computers become ubiquitous not only in the devices we carry and use, but also in the "environment" such as rooms, traffic, and cities, as an intelligent information infrastructure. "Ubiquitous computing" has become a reality.
In ubiquitous computing, there are various aspects such as sensing of information about real space and humans as digital data, distribution of data through networks, understanding/recognition as "knowledge" through analysis and machine learning at the edge and in the cloud, feedback to humans based on the knowledge, and operation of machines (actuation). These functions constitute the "architecture of ubiquitous systems".
In this lecture, we will discuss mobile/distributed programming, location/context-aware programming, sensing, activity recognition, data communication, and other technologies, including actual examples and actual JavaScript programming.

Music is ubiquitous in our environment. A question in this course is how music is processed in our brain and how we can design the environment and change our brain functions with music. Recently, an emerging research field of Music and Neuroscience (“Neuromusic”) has been elucidating the neural correlates of music perception, cognition, and performance. In this course, I will overview what has been known so far in the Neuromusic research from the integrated point of view of Neuroscience, Evolutional Biology, Developmental Brain Science, Human Movement Science, and Cognitive Science.

Body theory can be discussed from various perspectives. In this lecture, I will discuss body theory from various perspectives such as general medicine, contemporary medicine, psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, and psychoanalysis. The psycho and the physical soma are inseparably related, and the psychodynamics surrounding the body can be widely observed from the healthy development of human beings to the pathological state. The purpose of this lecture is to expand the student's perspectives regarding the body.

It is common to all societies that the family is the basic unit of society, but its form and the role of each member vary greatly according to history and culture. In Japan, the situation surrounding the family is currently undergoing remarkable change and diversification. In this class, we will focus on the family in contemporary Japan to understand the dynamics of society from a variety of angles, including history, law, labour and welfare, and to consider the future of the family.

The class will be basically conducted in a lecture style, but students are also asked to join the group work to analyze the data relating the theme of this class. It is desirable to be active in the class.

This course aims to learn about the psychoanalysis discovered by Sigmund Freud. Essentially, psychoanalysis is a clinical practice, but it is also a modern thought and science. Psychoanalysis, which assumes an unconscious area in the human mind, is useful in understanding human beings. I would like to invite you to psychoanalysis through this lecture.

The purpose of this course is to learn about psychoanalysis discovered by Sigmund Freud. To this purpose, students are expected to actively research, present, and participate in group discussions on psychoanalytic literature and topics.

The area covered by this seminar is general administrative law. It covers not only the problems related to administrative case litigation and the theory of administrative law, but also the latest problems related to administrative systems and policy making.

Mission: In Search of Future of Organizations

Organizations increasingly rely on technologies to operate, organize, and innovate in this AI/big data era. Also, radical changes in the society such as issues related to gender, LGBTQ, diversity, sustainability, environment, and governance have huge impacts on how we (should) manage organizations. We collectively explore the future of organizations, which is a frontier of management studies and practice. Topics include future of work, new organizational forms, diversity and inclusion, people analytics, collective intelligence and open innovation. We approach these themes from various perspectives and methods including (but not limited to) case studies, data science, computational social science approaches, and project works with business partners in the real world.

Since the end of the 20th century, the trend of mobile computing and ubiquitous computing has led to faster, larger, smaller, and more wireless computers, which have become widely used in our daily lives by optimizing them for each individual. However, the explosive amount of information produced by ICT/AI systems, for example, can lead to information overload in our daily lives, and the provision of individually optimized information (e.g., AI-based personal optimization of news articles provided on social networking sites) can distort the information we come into contact with and affect our thinking. It is also true that there are many problems created by the current architecture of typical information systems, such as the fragmentation of communities.
In this research, we will conduct research and development on a new information system architecture that is different from the typical individual-oriented architecture of "sensing personal big data, analyzing big data, and providing information optimized for the individual," always looking more than 10 years into the future.

Wie denken junge Deutsche? Was koennen wir ihnen ueber die japanische Gesellschaft mitteilen? Was moechten wir ueber Deutschland wissen?
In diesem Seminar sprechen wir ueber gesellschaftliche Trends in Japan und Deutschland, wie immer gemeinsam mit einer Partnergruppe an der Martin Luther-Universitaet in Halle. In "gemischten" Kleingruppen (SFC-Halle) werden per Video-Chat Themen zur Praesentation vorbereitet. Bei der Aufbereitung der Themen werden wir die Instrumente Medienanalyse, Umfragen und Interviews nutzen. Die Ergebnisse werden dann im Plenum besprochen und bei jeder Videokonferenz vorgestellt.
Arbeitssprachen sind Deutsch und Japanisch.

This lecture examines risk management as a management decision-making process from the "Shougo-seisaku-gaku". Traditional risk management focused on planning and reducing vulnerabilities. However, in the era of VUCA, is it appropriate to predict, plan, and reduce vulnerabilities?　This lecture is to start with this question. Therefore, I will not be lecturing on so-called "how to's" such as how to avoid risks wisely. This lecture is not based on pragmatism in the United States, so please do not misunderstand this point.
