Watching Humans.

The Human Informatics Group conducts education and research to analyze humans from the viewpoint of informatics and to integrate the analytical results for developing artificial systems in the manner of systems engineering. For the purpose we study complicated human physiology and psychology as well as behaviors to solve those principles, then utilize the discoveries to develop new systems, e.g. for controlling the human situation to the appropriate state and for assisting humans on daily tasks.

Watching Organizations.

In order to manage companies or organizations, corporate managers must undertake various issues including organizational, managerial as well as strategic ones. Corporate management should be also conducted taking into account structure changes caused by economic globalization, technology innovation, energy and natural resources, the global environment, the financial environment, and even international politics. The Management Systems Group conducts education and research about management systems based on social sciences as well as the viewpoint of informatics.
