Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a collection of papers from the Ninth Workshop on Computing: Theory and Practice, WCTP 2019 devoted to theoretical and practical approaches to computation, which was organized by four top universities in Japan and the Philippines: Tokyo Institute of Technology, Osaka University, the University of the Philippines Diliman, and De La Salle University. The proceedings provide a broad overview of recent research trends in computer science research in Asia, particularly in these two countries. The papers included in the proceedings focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of computations, such as programming language theory, modeling of software systems, applications of machine learning, empathic computing, and various applications of information technology.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Shin-ya Nishizaki is Full Professor at the Global Scientific Information and Computing Center, Tokyo Institute of Technology and Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. He received a Ph.D. in 1994 from Kyoto University for a thesis entitled "Simply Typed Lambda Calculus with First-class Environments".
Masayuki Numao is professor at the Information and Physical Sciences, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University. He is performing research on the development of computers provided with learning capability and has supported the completion of information environment by sending to the world numerous new technologies, such as high-efficient algorithms, background knowledge acquirement for learning, applications intended for intelligent tutoring systems (ITS).
Merlin Teodosia Suarez is Full Professor at the College of Computer Studies of De La Salle University, where she also earned her PhD in Computer Science in 2008. She worked on automatic analysis of student misconceptions learning object-oriented programming in Java. She proceeded to work on emotion-aware systems focusing on education and health-care applications. She is currently investigating approaches to provide support to individuals diagnosed in the autism spectrum disorder, and stroke patients requiring physical therapy.
