Research, Industry, & Grant Agencies
Welcome to the School of Computing and Information Sciences research page. The School of Computing and Information Sciences has several research efforts which conduct research on database management systems, developing new types of database systems, refining existing database systems, distributed system engineering and multimedia information systems. These research efforts have a strong commitment to training graduate students and preparing them for their future roles as scholars and specialists employed by industry.
 |
The CREST center focuses on the following research areas: High-confidence
reactive software systems, multidimensional-multimodal data modeling and
query research, assistive technology research based on the design and
development of real-time assistive systems, and advanced information
processing with neuroscience applications. This multidisciplinary research
and educational center serves as a resource for the education of
underrepresented minority students as well as a driving force to increase
diversity in graduate education, especially at the Ph.D. level in computer
science and engineering. |
High Performance Database Research Center
One of our research efforts is the High-Performance Database Research Center (HPDRC).
HPDRC conducts research on such theoretical and applied issues as Internet-distributed heterogeneous databases,
database design methodologies, database design tools, information analysis, multi-media databases,
database languages, data compression, spatial databases, and data visualization.
The Center also designs specific database systems for highly complex applications.
Center for Advanced Distributed System Engineering
 |
Another of our research efforts is the Center for Advanced Distributed System Engineering (CADSE).
CADSE Its mission is to establish a streamlined research, technology exploration and advanced training
program in the field of distributed and Internet-based computing. The Center's R&D cover both theoretical
and practical aspects of distributed software engineering, i.e. using engineering methods and technologies
to tackle development problems of complex, reliable, and/or real-time distributed systems. |
Distributed Multimedia Information Systems Laboratory
Another of our research efforts is the Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory (DMIS). Its mission
is to conduct leading edge research in multimedia database systems, data mining, networking and wireless, GIS and
Intelligent Transportation Systems. Other research areas of this effort include Multimedia Communications and Networking,
Digital Library, 3D Animation, Distributed Computing and WWW. |
 |
Bioinformatics Research Group (BioRG)
 |
The mission of this research group is to work on problems from the fields of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. The group's research projects includes Pattern Discovery in sequences and structures, micro-array data analysis, primer design, probe design, phylogenetic analysis, image processing, image analysis, and more. The group builds on tools and techniques from Algorithms, Data Mining, Computational Statistics, Neural Networks, and Image Processing. |
The Industrial Advisory Board is an important and crucial role as part of the greater process designed to strengthen the research and educational efforts of CIS. Our distinguished, engaging and committed Board will produce significant impact on our program design and execution, student training and placement, research collaboration and funding, and visibility. |
