This course will be delivered using the lecture and seminar styles. In recent years, many software systems are used by various important situations and are playing important roles. 8 professional specialists of information mathematics, information science and software engineering lecture this course by the omnibus form. Based on a topic related with modern software systems like smart phone, each (associate) professor lectures to students within the scope of his specialized area．
Basically, each professor teaches this course once or twice. At first, he introduces a topic and his specialized area, and he assigns an assignment to attend discussion, and then we discuss based on the report for the assignment. Through these lectures, and discussions, we introduce how software systems are making contribution in modern societies.

1．Understanding roles of modern software systems.
2．Understanding how modern software systems are built.
3．Understanding the characteristics modern software systems have.
4．Understanding how techniques of information science are utilized in modern software systems.
5．Understanding how techniques of information mathematics are utilized in modern software systems.

Basically, each professor teaches this course twice or once. At first, he introduces a topic and his specialized area, and assigns an assignment to attend discussion, and then we discuss based on the reports for the assignment. Follow the directions given by each professor in more detail.

We assign an assignment to attend discussion, so students need to investigation for it and make a report.

For acquisition of credits of this course, we request students to get in on the discussion.
Each professor appraises each student based on a report for discussion (50%),
and class participation in discussion(50%).
The final score is calculated from an average of them, and qualifying score is 60%.

Each professor provides texts through a webclass system or by a handout.
