About Us：Cybermedia Center, Osaka University

As a resource provider of knowledge and technology derived from advanced researches conducted in Osaka University,
the Cybermedia Center (CMC) offers support in the areas of large-scale computation, information communication,multimedia content and education. The center also works closely with educational and research organizations within
Osaka University, as well as with industries and institutes outside the University. By sharing its resources and encouraging local communities to use its facilities for public lectures and other events, CMC has helped to create a moreinternationally-oriented IT society for the region.

Research Divisions
Informedia Education Research Division is involved in constructing an
advanced information education environment, providing information andinformation ethics education, and conducting research and education
activities for faculty development of information education staff.
Multimedia Language Education Research Division seeks to create an
ideal environment for language education by developing an innovative, userfriendly learning management system for all language teachers/learners, andself-learning software for foreign-language learners. It also supports theoperation and maintenance of several computer-assisted language laboratories, and provides students with opportunities to optimize their learning of
foreign languages.
Large-Scale Computational Science Research Division is involved inassisting in the operation of the supercomputer system, disseminating technologies for visualizing computational results, providing education on
advanced technologies for using the supercomputer system, and conducting
education and research activities for computational science and other relatedcourses.

Vector supercomputer

Applied Information Systems Research Division conducts education andresearch into system architecture and operating technology involving
large-scale data, to assist in the operation of our super computer and cloudsystems, and to support users. It also performs research and education in thevisualization of large-scale data and the architecture of cyber-physical systems.
University-wide Information and Communications Infrastructure
Services Promotion Division is involved in promoting and managing thesmooth execution and enhancement of university-wide support services which
the Cybermedia Center is implementing, such as the maintenance, operation,and user-support of information communication systems installed foreducation, research, and clerical work.

Vector supercomputer

Computer Assisted Science Research Division supports efficient computer
applications and education (relevant also to supercomputers) aimed at identifying and solving scientific problems.It also conducts education and research
activities in mathematical and computational modeling of scientific problems.

Kyoto

Cybercommunity Research Division is involved in the design of digital
libraries, cyber communities, and social networks, building information modeling (BIM), development of risk management systems for urban areas, andevaluation of urban infrastructure, while providing computer-aided design
and graphic science education.

Tokyo

Advanced Network Environment Research Division supports the operation and utilization of the Osaka Daigaku Information Network System(ODINS), which introduces novel networking technologies such as high-speed
networks, and mobile networking environments, with lower energy consumption. It also conducts educational activities on networking technologies,
security issues, information ethics, etc., for university students and staff. In
addition, it conducts state-of-the-art research on network-related topics.
