※ Reference
1. (Topic No. 17) Candidates should have mastered the basics of automata theory and be mathematically mature enough to be able to prove new results on their own. See my recent
publications and lecture notes for the course “Mathematical Linguistics”, available on my web site, for examples of research on this topic.
2. (Topic No. 29) Requirements: The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of Java or C#, and knowledge of the Scala language would be a plus. Furthermore, interest in programming
languages or software engineering is required. Industrial experience, experience of large scale software development, automata theory, type systems are all beneficial.
3. (Topic No.31) Requirements: The candidate should be experienced in object oriented programming (Java, C++, C#, etc.). Previous experiences in multi-agent systems or computational
intelligence (e.g. data mining, multi-objective optimization, search algorithms) or scheduling are highly welcome.
4.
(Topic No.32) The internship requires the following skills:

Analytical skills: We will conduct surveys on testings and report on several aspects. Basic statistical analysis will be needed.

Programming languages: Either or both of the two groups:
◦
C/C++/Objective-C and SmallTalk
◦
Java

Experience in studying APIs and technical documents.

Good command in English (Japanese language is a plus, but not required).

Knowledge about the iPhone SDK and/or Android SDK is a significant plus.

3 months minimum. Up to 6 months depending on candidates' skills.
