In this class, how to quantitatively evaluate the performance and reliability of information systems, and how to describe
algorithms and flowcharts which are important for computer programming will be mentioned. It is supposed that the students
are concurrently taking the class of "Introduction to Information Processing" as well.
The purpose of this class can be divided into two. One is to acquire the ways to comprehend the performance and reliability
of information systems. The other is to comprehend the concept of software and definition of algorithm, resulting in converting
the algorithm to the flowchart.
- Enrolled students can comprehend the terminologies of information processing.
- Enrolled students can comprehend the information processing system, evaluation methods of the performance and reliability.
- Enrolled students can comprehend basic algorithms and make their flowcharts.

<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one third of the total number of classes, the credit of this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class whatever the reason, e.g. sickness, delay of public transportation systems, forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as absence.
