Summary
Web system development typically includes the development of both internal websites on a company's intranet and external websites on the Internet.Web system developers generally code websites using programming languages and markup languages such as HTML5, but their duties also include CMS (content management system).In the Web Systems Development specialization, students learn not only web system programming and coding but also the fundamental technologies that underpin computer networks.
Target Career Paths
- Designers/Programmers of Convenient Websites
- Producers involved in launching new sites and maintaining and improving existing sites
- Site managers who maintain and improve the superiority of their site
- Engineers who can build applications by integrating existing web services and cloud services
Themes of past Master Projects
- Creation of a reading support site "JL Bunko" for Japanese literary works for Japanese learners
- Construction of dynamic website specialized in formula display
- Design and development of an idea-sharing website for smart phones using PHP
- Production of a web game to improve the learning ability of kanji
- An Approach to Costly Contamination Diffusion Minimization Problem on Complex Networks with Genetic Algorithms

The knowledge and expertise gained in this specialization are applied in a wide range of practical fields, including the development of business applications for industries ranging from manufacturing, distribution, finance, and insurance to healthcare and education; the development of various application systems using the latest database and network middleware technologies; and the development of Internet of Things (IoT) systems that connect various sensors and server systems via the Internet.Although the program lasts only two years, I encourage students to learn as many system technologies as possible, envision future-oriented system models, and explore concrete ways to bring them to life. Through the Master Project, students work closely with their faculty advisors, combining their ideas and expertise to turn their own innovative concepts into practical solutions. I hope this experience will naturally lead each student toward the path they wish to pursue.

Web system development is a field where mature technologies that can efficiently create existing services coexist with the latest technologies that can create services that have never been seen before.There are web systems with administrative screens that are used in companies, and AR applications that are used on smartphones can be created.It may be responsible for aggregating information from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as sensor information and camera images, or it may integrate artificial intelligence techniques such as image recognition and anomaly detection.Most of the system development in recent years has been realized using web technologies, and there are various middleware such as programming languages and databases.
When targeting such a variety of technologies, it is important to clearly define the purpose of the system to be developed.What kind of application fields does the system target, what are the problems and how are they solved, and what kind of technology will be used to propose new solutions?After defining these criteria, we actually develop the system, have users use it, and evaluate the results.
Through this project, we hope that students will acquire the skills to design and develop systems that will play an important role in the future of society, and that after completing the course, they will be able to play an active role as experts in web technologies.
