Reykjavík University ((アイスランド語:Háskólinn í Reykjavík)), also known as RU, is the largest private university in Iceland with more than 3,500 students〔〔 and over 500 employees (professors come from over 26 countries).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reykjavik University )〕 It is chartered by the Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Icelandic Industries, and the Confederation of Icelandic Employers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stjórnun og skipulag Háskólans í Reykjavík )〕 The university became fully bilingual (English and Icelandic) by the beginning of 2010, and it consists of four academic schools: School of Law, School of Business, School of Computer Science and the School of Science and Engineering. The university's Executive MBA program was awarded 5-year accreditation by the London-based international accreditation organisation Association of MBAs (AMBA) in October 2011. ==History== Reykjavík University has its roots in The Commercial College of Iceland, School of Computer Science (TVÍ), founded in January 1988 and run in The Commercial College of Iceland (VÍ) housing for ten years. Reykjavík University started its first semester on September 1, 1998 in a new building under the name Reykjavík School of Business. TVÍ became one of two departments within the school. A name change was inevitable because the school's name was not descriptive for the variety of the school's operations. In January 2000 the name was changed to Reykjavík University. In the autumn of 2002 the School of Law was established at Reykjavík University and in 2005 Reykjavík University was merged with the Technical University of Iceland (THÍ) under the name Reykjavík University. Following the merger, the School of Science and Engineering was established, partly built upon the old foundation of THÍ with the addition of new engineering fields. Reykjavík University sponsoring the ''Icelandic Center for Research on Software Engineering'' (ICE-ROSE),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ICE-ROSE – Icelandic Center for Research on Software Engineering )〕 the ''Icelandic Center Of Excellence in Theoretical Computer Science'' (ICE-TCS),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Icelandic Centre of Excellence in Theoretical Computer Science (ICE-TCS) )〕 the ''Icelandic Institute of Intelligent Machines'' (IIIM) and the ''Icelandic Society for Intelligence Research'' (ISIR). Reykjavík University have opened the ''Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents'' (CADIA).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Center for Analysis & Design of Intelligent Agents - Reykjavik University )〕 CADIA was founded by Kristinn R. Thórisson and Yngvi Björnsson, two professors at Reykjavík University, and it is the Iceland’s first AI research lab. Among others, during the years, CADIA has been collaborated with Honda on developing software for the ASIMO robot and with CCP Games on development of intelligent software for EVE Online. Moreover, CADIA has developed a General Game Playing (GGP) AI that won the ''World GGP Championship'' in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, CADIA has even received a prestigious European grant for the ''HUMANOBS'' project. Finally, CADIA and IIIM together have sponsored an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) developed by students of Reykjavík University. The AUV is called Freyja〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ruauv )〕 and compete every year at the RoboSub〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RoboSub )〕 ''International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition'' hosted by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and took in San Diego, California. From 2008, with the partnership of some computer security companies (e.g. Videntifier and Frisk) and of the Icelandic government, Reykjavík University have opened the ''The Laboratory for Dependable, Secure Systems'' (LDSS Lab).〔(LDSS Lab )〕 The LDSS Lab was founded by Úlfar Erlingsson〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Úlfar Erlingsson )〕 and Ýmir Vigfússon and it conducts research and education to advance the state-of-the-art in the security and dependability of computer systems. In 2011, the LDSS Lab has been integrated into the SysLab (Systems and Security Laboratory), that is now led by Ýmir Vigfússon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reykjavík University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
