Course overview and goals
The modern Information and Communications Systems have been developed based on the vast knowledge on Information and Communications engineering. In order to become a successful researcher in Information and Communications Engineering area and/or senior executive of related industries, learning advanced concepts of this area individually is not enough, but a viewpoint that enables us to understand as a whole is required. The purpose of this course is to help students gain the viewpoints mentioned above by providing important ideas, and understand their roles in Information and Communications Systems by summarizing their relations systematically.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the important ideas that are included as the advanced concepts of Information and Communications Engineering fields.
2) Understand the roles of information and communications system, and capture a viewpoint from whole Information and Communications Engineering fields.
