In the Principles of Informatics Research Division we seek to discover new principles, theories and methods in Informatics, and extend our goal to pioneering the frontiers to try and achieve a paradigm shift in informatics.
The Information Systems Architecture Science Research Division deals with the research issues in software/hardware architectures of computers and networks, and their system implementation.
The Division conducts research on various types of contents and media such as text and video in terms of analysis, creation, compilation and application, and their processing methods from the theories to the systems.
The Information and Society Research Division takes an interdisciplinary approach to relations between a variety of information and society or community and to implementing information systems in society. (This approach includes social informatics, scientific informatics, and cultural informatics.)
