Creating a New Ecosystem with Highly Reliable System-software Technology in a Way that Contributes Globally
Tomonori Fujita · NTT technical review · 2023
Today, with the spread of the Internet and the integration of information and communication technology into our daily lives, the demand for reliable software has increased dramatically.The C language, which is currently the dominant language for software development in fields requiring high performance, offers flexibility and freedom in manipulating hardware; however, it faces concerns that simple mistakes by the software developer can lead to bugs and security risks.Under those circumstances, programming technologies for developing software that satisfies the requirements of the modern era-namely, high performance and reliability-are demanded, and efforts to develop a new programming language to replace C are underway.In this issue, we interviewed Distinguished Researcher Tomonori Fujita, who is engaged in research on "highly reliable system-software technology."
