The course objective. The objective of this course is to introduce formal specification techniques that can be used to add detail to a system requirements specification. Formal Methods (FM) consist of a set of techniques and tools based on mathematical modeling and formal logic that are used to specify and verify requirements and designs for computer systems and software. The use of FM on a project can assume various forms, ranging from occasional mathematical notation embedded in English

specifications, to fully formal specifications using specification languages with a precise semantics.

Learning outcomes. At the end of this course students will: understand why formal specification techniques help discover problems in system requirements; understand the use of algebraic techniques of formal specification to define interface specifications; understand how formal, model-based formal techniques are used for behavioral specification.

Course unit content. On the model checking side, the advantage of an automated method at the same time places restrictions on the kind of properties that can be verified. Accordingly, we concentrate on the verification of safety properties. The lectures cover the following topics: Theoretical foundations of model checking. Property languages and their usage. Performing automated verification with a software model checking tool.

Course objective. This course

addresses themes and experiences of migration processes, transnational families and community building in East Asia.


54

This course is aimed for students to understand international migration, transnational family and community building as both global and local processes common among advanced societies. As its focus moves from macro-structural to micro-individual issues, the students will also learn intricate nuances of personal and collective power of transnational migrants, linking multiple cultures while expanding their identities and skills in the ever-evolving transnational spaces.

Learning outcomes. Students who have successfully completed this course are expected to acquire a wide “interdisciplinary array of skills”. Specifically, through lectures and readings, they will learn comparative skills on international migration in East Asia. Students will obtain analytical skills applied to the essence of policymaking and community support indispensable for the healthy formation of transnational families and communities. Moreover, throughout the course, by engaging in small group projects, the students participate in collaborative research of their intellectual interest, while enhancing research skills and improving public speech and writing skills.

Course objective. The course is designed to provide fundamental knowledge on stylized facts of Japanese economy and economic theories. Stylized facts seem to be old and some of them may have been obsolete, although they contain essential logical points. However, they are still useful for understanding Japanese economic systems. Thus, students are required to discuss current conditions on Japanese economy and firm system, considering stylized facts and theoretical backgrounds. It is essential to distinguish between changing phenomena and unchanged principles. This course covers Japan’s economic structure, policy and performance from the sixteenth century to the present. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of Japan’s spectacular economic growth after WWII and current recession in Japan.

Learning outcomes. Students who have successfully completed this course should be able to reproduce the general outline of the history, institutions and actors of Japanese politics and the economy, to engage in informed debate about key issues of Japanese economy, and to critically

appraise news media and popular discourses on the given subject.

Course unit content. Since the early 1990s, Japan has

witnessed tremendous changes and transformations in its political as well as economic structure. This course provides an introduction to Japanese economy fundamental for advanced courses in Japanese studies, as well as for studies in other disciplines for further comparative research on Japan. From giving an overview of the institutions and actors in Japanese politics and the economy, this course also pays special attention to the role of history and culture that characteristically shape developments in these fields, as well as the historically close interaction and interdependences between Japanese foreign policy, domestic politics and the economy.

The course objective:

This course is a graduate-level introduction to astrophysical cosmology, with emphasis on the standard" big bang theory of the universe and, in the latter part of the course, its extension to a more detailed theory (the in action cold dark matter cosmological constant model) that is presently the leading scenario for explaining the origin of structure in the universe. The course is intended to

give you the background needed to (a) read the current research literature, (b) get started on research in cosmology if you wish to do so, and (c) understand the current issues and debates in the field.

Learning outcomes. Be able to solve quantitative problems that require an understanding of the fundamental principles in each of the major areas of cosmology. Show a working knowledge of how a broad array of cosmological phenomena can be explained using these fundamental concepts. Exhibit a proficiency in the methods of scientific inquiry in laboratory and/or research projects. Use critical thinking skills to formulate and solve quantitative problems. Present well-organized, logical and scientifically sound oral and written scientific reports. Understand the variety of career paths and opportunities that are open to master who have majored in fermions theory of dark matter.

Course unit content. The course has three components:

i) written material, arranged as units, ii) video segments that present case studies related to the units, and iii) interactive Web modules. The different units can be approached in any desired sequence, but taking the time to explore the video and interactive segments associated with the units you find the most interesting is recommended. The choice of research subjects presented here is representative, not exhaustive, and is meant to convey the excitement, the mystery, and the human aspects of modern cosmology. Numerous other

threads of modern research could have been included. Hopefully, the topics selected will provide incentive for the reader to pursue other topics of interest, and perhaps it will prove possible to cover a number of these other topics in subsequent versions of the course.
