Resume of Prof. Toshitsugu YUBA

†¤Toshitsugu Yuba received the B.E. and M.E. degrees in electrical engineering from Kobe University in 1964 and 1966, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering from the University of Tokyo in 1982

. †¤Since 1967, he had been with the Electrotechnical Laboratory of the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). During the period, his positions included the Chief of the Computer Architecture Section, the Directors of the Intelligent Systems Division and the Computer Science Division.

†¤He was the leader of the Electrotechnical Laboratory's dataflow parallel computer project from 1982 to 1988, which was one of the most successful research on parallel computers of worldwide frame in the decade. He was also the project leader of the National Large-Scale Project "Inter-operable Database Systems" for two years. He initiated the MITI's new generation computing initiative named "the Real-World Computing Program" started in 1992 as a successor project of the Fifth Generation Computer Systems. He has had a teaching carrier as a concurrent professor of the University of Tsukuba for five years and a visiting lecturer of the University of Osaka for one year during his joining with the Electrotechnical Laboratory.

†¤In 1993, he was moved to the Graduate School of Information Systems, the University of Electro-Communications as a full professor. He has been the dean of the Graduate School from 1998 to 2000. His research interest is focusing on parallel and distributed processing, in particular, massively parallel architectures, parallel/distributed system software and high-performance networking.

†¤Professor Yuba is a fellow of the Information Processing Society of Japan, and the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.He is also a member of Japan Society for Software Science and Technology, the Robotics Society of Japan, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the IEEE Computer Society.
