Research

• Implementation of Lisp in school days
• Participated in the Fifth Generation Computer Systems Project at ICOT
  Conducted research on concurrent and parallel logic programming languages, object-oriented languages, their implementation, and software development environments. Home page of the KLIC Association is here.
• Recent research activities are on the following topics.
  • Concurrent and parallel programming systems.
  • Parallel processing applications.
  • Unified computation complexity model for distributed and parallel processing and/or hierarchical memory.
  • Applying IT to everyday life (KACITEC).
• Chikayama and Taura Lab. Home Page

Course Materials

Hobbies

• Plays the jazz piano better than clumsy professionals.
  • Interpretation: If x is clumsy and a pro, I play better than x.
  • Note: Nothing mentioned whether such an x ever exists.
  • You can find MP3 samples here.
• Plays tennis: More than 30 years of career!
  (but, not so good at it in the first place, and getting worse every year.)
• Raytracing
  Used to play with raytracers and started again to try them recently. See a sample of animating the logo mark of the division of transdisciplinary sciences (3MB).
