Large software development project get many bug reports to fix bugs from
users and developers. Then, the developers have to identify source codes
which should be fixed.

Development of Android application to control LEGO robots using OSS
development support tools
The goal of this project is to gain
knowledge and skill for management
of software development using
typical support tools
Design and implementation of
integrated application such as
Android application for wireless
control of LEGO robot
Or you may propose different applications!
Tools to be used
Developing in team is better
for learning project
management
A Robot & application developed
in 2011 class
Subversion (configuration management)
Redmine (project management)
Eclipse (coding and building)
Lecture about tools are given at the
beginning
No programming lecture - basic Java/C#
programming skill is needed
Information and references for Android
programming are provided for self study
(self-learning is another issue of this class)

analysis of error-correcting LDPC codes
LDPC code ... powerful ECC of the next generation
adopted in WiMAX, digital broadcasting, and more
it does work, but its structure is not understood yet
Throughout this project, we determine...
the number of codewords with small Hamming weights.
write a program, and find codewords in the “core” subset
compare codewords, and discover hidden mathematical rules
use a closure property, and determine the # of codewords
ARM 32bit System using a combination of
A Tiny 8bit Computer and A Software Emulator
32bit-ARM OS & Application
32bit-ARM
Emulator
8bit Small CPU
w/ minimal hardware
The goal of this internship is to learn the structure of
emulators which is generally used to realize a computer
system with other architecture, and to run ARM Linux on a
tiny 8bit computer.
This topic leads to an innovative computer system based on
some next generation new materials.

A Software Framework
for Next Generation Low-Power Accelerators
Our research targets next generation accelerators. In contrast to
blakbox GPGPUs, this accelerator
is drived by some
translated codes generated from Intel instructions.
The goal of this internship is to learn the GCC vectorizer and to
develop a code translator
with lex/yacc for new accelerators.
Required skills: Basic operation in UNIX environment and C
programming.

Introduction to VLSI Design & Test

You will study a flow of VLSI design and test and understand
how to optimize performance, area and test coverage of VLSI
using several CAD tools.

High Quality Test Generation
for Delay Faults


As VLSI device is miniaturized, defects causing timing failure are
becoming crucial problem on VLSI dependability.
You will study design for testability(DFT) and test generation
for delay faults.
