System Design and Management (SDM) Research Center

Director: Yoshiaki Ohkami (Professor, Graduate School of System Design and Management)

Campus: Hiyoshi

In an international environment transitioning to a multipolar society, the frameworks, concepts, and missions of systems are becoming extremely complex, forming systems of systems. There is a growing demand for symbiosis and adaptability to environmental changes, and network-centric systems, with their highly intertwined mutual interactions, are becoming increasingly prominent.

The purpose of this research center is to conduct pioneering research on strategic systems engineering and system design and management—defined as "a multidisciplinary approach and means for the successful realization of systems"—and to promote technological development that freely utilizes the results of this research.

The center will participate in the establishment of the "Center for Education and Research of Symbiotic, Safe and Secure System Design" and conduct research related to energy, space, transportation, and robot system design to promote the Global COE program.
