Prof. Shirasaka speaks in the meeting
Prof. Takashi Maeno, Associate Prof. Naohiko Kohtake, and Associate Prof. Seiko Shirasaka from SDM attended the 54th Meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) held at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada on July 18-23, 2010. Established over 50 years ago, ISSS is devoted to system science, system thinking, and soft systems methodology, crossing the academic disciplines of technologies and social science. Therefore, many of SDM’s research and education topics are of interest to ISSS. The three SDM professors attended workshops and meetings to discuss various system-related topics. Prof. Shirasaka reported on the approach, achievements and issues of SDM’s Introduction to Systems Engineering course. Prof. Kohtake reported on SDM’s ‘System Design and Management’, features of SDM’s educational curriculum, and its achievements and issues to date. Many participants from various countries showed keen interest in the innovative education and research activities of SDM. The conference also provided opportunities for SDM to plan new information sharing and joint research with universities abroad.
