A student networking event was held during this convention. Students made presentations about their university, research activity, and student activity. Mr. Kunii who is the chair of IEEE Hokkaido University Student Branch introduced the activity of the student branch.

Mr. Watanabe presented his paper at 2017 Joint Convention, the Hokkaido Chapters of the Institutes of Electrical and Information Engineers, which was held at Future University Hakodate on Oct 28th-28th. In this paper, we presented an implementation approach to avoid memory conflicts of parallel processing to realize high throughput LDPC decoding.
