Research Projects
Our goal is to create a world where many usable systems are produced through programming education, improvements to development projects, support for the introduction of requirements development methodologies, and improvements to the development process using support tools.
The appeal of research
ICT technology has become indispensable to society, but there are many situations where it is not being fully utilized. We are conducting research from the perspectives of improving software development and ICT engineer education, so that truly useful ICT systems can be created.
