Description Contents Requirements Funding

The department has excellent research and teaching facilities including research laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment in the areas of computer science, software systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and more. The departmental computing resources consist of a large number of SUN workstations and PC’s. Every graduate laboratory has a mix of computers running the latest versions of Solaris, Linux, or Windows.

There are five possible research groups. The Data and Knowledge Management group studies the storage, retrieval, and mining of data in databases. The Experimental Computer Systems group studies computer systems perspective, including operation systems, compilers, computer architecture, networking, and wireless communications.
The Intelligent Systems group focuses on designing and analyzing an intelligent algorithm or system using any of the theoretical formalisms. The Internet Computing and Information Science group examines technologies for computing and communication across Internet or any other networked system, and the Quantum Computing group studies the growing field of Quantum Computing.
