GCOE/SDM booth at APCOSE2010
The 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on System Engineering (APCOSE2010) was held from October 4-6 at the National Taiwan Ocean University in Keelung, Taiwan under the theme "System Engineering: Collaboration for Intelligent Systems." Since the 2nd APCOSE, which was hosted by Keio SDM in the Collaboration Complex in 2008, the Conference has expanded to reflect the economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Over 200 people from 14 countries participated this year.
From Keio University, the Global COE program and SDM jointly hosted a booth at the Conference. It was the only Japanese booth as well as the only one hosted by a university from any country. Research and educational activities in GCOE and SDM were introduced with posters, videos, and brochures. The participants showed keen interest in both the Global COE program and SDM.
