Course Description	The Seminar is central to activities at SFC where faculty members and students work together on a diversity of issues as a prelude to the Graduation Project. At SFC, students do not merely learn answers to given problems. Education at SFC aims to nurture and send out leaders of the future who are able to identify problems and create methods of resolving them. Through participation in such research, students work on real problems in society and gain a high level of expertise, and with this in hand, they embark on their Graduation Project that will be their "fruit of designing the future" as well as a personal proposal as they advance towards the future as individuals.

Course Summary

From the late 20th century onwards, the evolution from mobile computing to ubiquitous computing has driven advancements in speed, capacity, miniaturization, and wireless technologies, enabling computers to become deeply embedded in our daily lives by optimizing experiences for individuals. However, it is also true that the architecture of current information systems has introduced significant challenges. For instance, the overwhelming volume of information generated by ICT and AI systems often leads to information overload. Additionally, individually optimized information delivery—such as AI-curated news articles on social media—can distort the diversity of information we encounter, influence individual thought patterns, and contribute to the fragmentation of communities.

This research focuses on developing new personal computing and AI technologies.
Looking ahead to the next decade and beyond, we aim to design and develop technologies, systems, and architectures that transcend the conventional concepts of personal computing, such as individual optimization (personalization), personal devices, individual operating systems, and existing social networks. This research seeks to pioneer innovative approaches that address the limitations of traditional paradigms and create a new foundation for personal computing.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

== Content ==
Participants in this research group will primarily acquire knowledge and skills in computer science and informatics while also gaining insights into human behavior and internal states through disciplines such as cognitive psychology and physiology.

Specifically, we will explore research topics such as the following, but we strongly encourage you to propose your own original ideas from your unique perspectives. After all, this emphasis on creative individuality is what makes SFC truly distinctive.

- The concept of the next personal mobile device beyond the smartphone: "( ) Phone": Rethinking and redefining what personal mobile devices could look like and how they might function in a post-smartphone era.

- The next generation of computing that transcends the limitations of "personalized computing": Developing systems that go beyond individual optimization, addressing broader societal, ethical, and communal challenges.

- AI that is 100% aligned with the user's interests, free from dependence on cloud providers, platforms, or OS/application/service providers: Creating AI systems that are truly user-centric and independent, empowering individuals without being constrained by commercial interests.

We look forward to your creative contributions that reflect your vision for the future!

== Methodology ==
Our research group focuses on computer science and informatics. Members are encouraged to engage deeply with programming, computers, and AI in their daily work. Those who *LOVE* computers, networks, and AIs, welcome!!

== Goals ==
In this research group, we emphasize the following:

1. Constructing and evaluating systems through hands-on research activities.
2. Demonstrating the real-world applicability of these systems by participating in collaborative projects with universities (e.g., University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Washington, Yonsei University, Peking University, University of Cambridge, Oulu University, etc.), research institutions, corporations, and local governments.
3. Publishing research findings through paper submissions to international conferences such as ACM and IEEE, sharing software, and conducting demonstrations to disseminate results globally.

Students are strongly encouraged to actively participate in these diverse research activities and gain valuable experience in global academic and practical engagements. Let’s enjoy this journey together!
