Research
in computer science includes algorithms, parallel processing, computer vision,
operating systems, performance evaluation, programming languages and environments,
software engineering, distributed computing, real-time systems, critical systems
and survivability, computer networks and electronic commerce, computer graphics
and human-computer interfaces, and databases. A major emphasis is in the development
of parallel and distributed computing systems.
Thanks to a joint grant between
the University’s Office of Information Technology and Communication and the
Department of Computer Science, the University’s backbone has been upgraded
to fiber-optic 622 Mbit (OC12) ATM. This new backbone is connected to “Internet
2” and enables the University to conduct research on the next generation
of computer networks.
The department keeps its graduate classes small and
fosters a one-to-one relationship with the faculty. Each new student must choose
a research advisor within the first semester. It is expected that all students
submit a least one academic publication during their tenure here.
