NAKAJIMA, Tatsuo serves as a Professor at Waseda University's School of Fundamental Science and Engineering, Department of Computer Network Engineering. Holding a Doctor of Engineering from Keio University, he has been affiliated with Waseda since 1999 after positions at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (1993-1999), Cambridge University, and Carnegie Mellon University. His academic profile shows substantial research output with 433 papers and 3,338 citations on Scopus, and 7,604 citations with an h-index of 42 on Google Scholar. Dr. Nakajima's research focuses on Distributed Systems, Embedded Systems, and Ubiquitous Computing, with particular emphasis on virtualization architectures for embedded environments. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in information appliances, operating systems, and persuasive computing technologies. He has developed innovative systems including SPUMONE (a composition kernel for multi-OS environments), SIGMA System, and SPLiT (a performance optimization library for multicore processors). Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on enhancing reliability, security, and performance of embedded and pervasive computing systems. His work shows increasing integration of human factors, particularly in sustainable behavior applications through persuasive technology. The research spans from low-level system architecture to user-centered applications, demonstrating both technical depth and practical relevance. Nokia Research Center, Visiting Research Fellow (2005.04) Dr. Nakajima's research has produced numerous practical frameworks including SPUMONE for multi-OS environments, SPLiT for performance optimization, and persuasive applications like EcoIsland for sustainable behavior. His work on kernel monitoring, anomaly detection, and self-healing systems demonstrates strong focus on system dependability. Current research appears directed toward integrating human factors with embedded systems, particularly in environmental sustainability applications. His laboratory work centers around the SPUMONE project, a virtualization layer for multi-core embedded systems that enables multiple operating systems to coexist with minimal engineering cost. This research environment supports exploration of resource management, security monitoring, and performance optimization in embedded contexts. The work has practical applications in information appliances, smart homes, and pervasive computing environments.
