SDM is an interdisciplinary and practical learning space, in which proactive and consistent system engineering methodologies for future applications are established.

Biography

Keiko Shimazu is an associate professor at Keio University and is in charge of a research group in ISSJ (Information Systems Society of Japan), IEEE and INCOSE. She conducted research and development on Digital Content Search Service at the Research Institute for Digital Media and Content, Keio University (2005-2008). She is engaged in information systems architecture research since she applied it for interfacing machine learning algorithms with database management systems and has developed advanced data modeling framework based on ER (Entity-Relationships) at Keio University. She conducted research and development on user interface building systems for a supersized network printer at Xerox Co., as a representative software engineer from Fuji Xerox.
In April 2008 she joined SDM as an associate professor.

Research Interests

Systems engineering & model-based engineering for Information System Development.
