AboutAbout the lab
Networks and computers, as one.
The Nakazato Lab studies mechanisms in which networks and computers work together as one to process information.
The lab aims to build systems in which anyone can easily use a group of connected computers simply by connecting to the network.
It studies a new networking approach called content-centric networking, as well as communication methods for cloud environments.

The Nakazato Lab studies "network information processing," in which networks and computers work together as one to process information. It works on content-centric networking, a new approach to information networks, and on cloud environments.
*Illustrative imageContent-Centric Networking
On the Internet, the destination is specified by the name of a computer. In content-centric networking, users specify the name of the information they want and can retrieve it wherever it is located.
*Illustrative imageDigital Twin Ecosystem
Together with other universities and companies, the lab studies mechanisms for creating digital twins of cities through citizen participation and circulating that information. Technologies such as blockchain are used to ensure the reliability of the data.
