Hideo Fujiwara
is a Japanese computer scientist who made significant contributions to ATPG (automatic test pattern generation) algorithms. As one of his works, he invented the FAN algorithm in 1983, which was the fastest ATPG algorithm at that time, and was adopted by industry. He was born in Nara, Japan, and studied electronic engineering at Osaka University, where he received his B.E. degree in 1969, M.E. in 1971, and Ph.D. in 1974. He was with Osaka University from 1974 to 1985, Meiji University is a Private university, private research university in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan.

Computer Scientist
A computer scientist is a scientist who specializes in the academic study of computer science. Computer scientists typically work on the theoretical side of computation. Although computer scientists can also focus their work and research on specific areas (such as algorithm and data structure development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, theoretical computer science, numerical analysis, programming language theory, compiler, computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, computer architecture, operating system), their foundation is the theoretical study of computing from which these other fields derive. A primary goal of computer scientists is to develop or validate models, often mathematical, to describe the properties of computational systems (Processor (computing), processors, programs, computers interacting with people, computers interacting with other computers, etc.) with an overall objective of discovering designs that yield useful ...

Academic Staff Of Nara Institute Of Science And Technology
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of tertiary education. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 386 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and Skills, skill, north of Ancient Athens, Athens, Greece. The Royal Spanish Academy defines academy as scientific, literary or artistic society established with public authority and as a teaching establishment, public or private, of a professional, artistic, technical or simply practical nature. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the Gymnasium (ancient Greece), gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive Grove (nature), grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philos ...

Unique sensitization is to determine as many signal values as possible that can be uniquely implied. Multiple backtracing is concurrent backtracing of more than one path, which is more efficient than backtracing along a single path. In order to reduce the number of backtracks, it is important t ...
