Department of Information Network Systems
Information network technology, typified by the Internet, is rapidly developing and is becoming an indispensable social infrastructure. The forms of usage of information networks are diversifying, and the study and introduction of a variety of networks is being conducted with an eye on the coming ubiquitous society. In the Department of Information Network Systems, we carry out education and research concerning theory and technology regarding the high-functionality, high-performance and reliability of information networks from the standpoint of the “fundamental technology that supports communication,” that is found in the various information systems concerning man and society.
