一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>This course is designed for graduate students who are interested in knowing state-of-the arts and 
<br>applications of the information technology. The objective of this course is guide students to recognize the 
<br>current state of the art of information technology and emerging killing applications and identify their 
<br>research topics and writing a research proposal in the related fields of information technologies. The 
<br>purpose is to lead students to find out interesting research topics, widen the scope of the potential 
<br>information technology that might be used in different applications domains in the future. Students will 
<br>learn how to find an interesting IT application problem by surveying a specific application domain, 
<br>understand the current information techniques available to solve the problem, assess the applicability and 
<br>weakness of the current IT technology to the problem, narrow down specific aims as research goal for 
<br>writing a research problem.

<br> 四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
<br>
<br>This course is intended to be conducted in a quasi-seminar style in which invited speakers will deliver 
<br>talks on the above mentioned topics and students will be assigned reading research papers on specific 
<br>area. The guiding lectures will be delivered by the course organizers as well as invited speakers either 
<br>from international and domestic universities and industry. Students will ask to read papers and present 
<br>their research ideas on some research topic that could lead them to write a research proposal in the end 
<br>of the course. The course organizers will give advices to students at the class to refine their thoughts and 
<br>directions on the research proposal. The teaching and learning process in the class is conducted in both 
<br>oral and written reports in the class followed by mutual discussions among students.
<br>
<br>We will invite speakers from international and domestic researchers who conduct the research in the 
<br>following perspectives:
<br>
<br>	Social computation 
<br>	Biological computation
<br>	Human centered computation 
<br>	Immersive virtual reality technology
<br>	Could and mobile distributed software systems
<br>	Big data analysis and management 
<br>	Machine learning and web data mining
<br>	Intelligent agents and personalization services
<br>	Cyber security and disaster management
<br>	Intelligent sensing and recognition and control
<br>	…
<br>
<br>the course organizers will
<br>1.	Invite speakers to deliver lectures on class
<br>2.	Give references on research papers on specific topic for student to read and present on class
<br>3.	Deliver talks as illustrations for students to understand a particular field of related research
<br>4.	Give advices to student’s presentation of research ideas and lead the discussions
<br>5.	Take turn with a schedule to host the speakers and guide students to formulate a research proposal
<br>6.	Grade student on the final proposal and oral presentation and class discussion and other course 
<br>requirements
