Abstract：I will give some advice to young students who have entered this graduate school and are exploring research directions.
      I studied system analysis based on mathematical models when I was a graduate student. After that, based on Ph.D. research, I made some recommendations on observation and solution for air and water pollution, which were problems at that time. I wrote some academic papers, but my research was never used in society. One reason for this is that the phenomenon is complex and solutions based on mathematical models cannot be used directly. Another important reason is that people living in society do not necessarily act scientifically optimally.Therefore, I was interested in developing a systems approach that takes human feelings into account. At that time, the soft systems methodology was proposed by Checkland in the UK. In China, Prof. Gu Jifa and Prof. Tang Xijin started developing the Wuli-Shili-Renli（物理、事理、人理）systems approach. Thus, from the 1980s to the 1990s, system approaches that focus on the dimension of human relations attracted attention.
      I was interested in modeling complex phenomena more intuitively and modeling human feelings, and started research on fuzzy modeling for the former and Kansei（感性）data analysis for the latter. In this lecture, I will introduce the contents of Kansei data analysis very briefly.
      In 1998, I got a chance to engage in knowledge science research at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. It is an academic field related to the development of creative techniques aimed at innovation. In 2000, I invited many Chinese researchers including Prof. Gu Jifa and Prof. Tang Xijin to hold an International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences. This symposium will be held this year in Vietnam. It is just a 20th-anniversary event.
      I retired in 2015, but I am still developing a knowledge construction systems methodology that combines systems thinking and knowledge management. In the second half of this lecture, I will introduce the essence of this methodology.
      I hope this lecture will be a hint for young students seeking research directions. 

个人简介： 

 Yoshiteru NAKAMORI received Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics and physics from Kyoto University in January 1980. He joined Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in April 1998 as a professor of the School of Knowledge Science. Since then, he has been working on development of knowledge systems methodology, incorporating the approaches of complex systems, and its application to environmental issues. His recent research interest is the knowledge construction methodology, which integrates approaches in systems thinking and knowledge management.
     From April 2002 to March 2008, he served as the dean of the School of Knowledge Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. From November 2003 to December 2008, he served as the president of the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences. From April 2008 to March 2010, he served as a vice-president of the International Federation of Systems Research. Since April 2010, he has been a fellow of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetics Sciences.
     Based on the recent original research on knowledge construction methodology, he has been giving lectures on Knowledge Management and Systems Methodology at several graduate universities, including University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in China and Thammasat University in Thailand, besides Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
     He has published 20 books, 57 chapters in books, 179 refereed journal papers, 287 refereed international conference papers, and 217 domestic conference papers.
