Research Groups

In addition to their individual research, many of the faculty have formed research groups to enhance the research effort of the Department.

• Simulation Research Lab

  The simulation research lab specializes in finding efficient techniques for solving scientific and engineering problems, in particular time stepping for ordinary and partial differential equations. Applications include computational fluid dynamics, simulation of electrical activity in cardiac tissue, robotics, and optimal control. The lab is also home to the only multi-person AccessGrid node on campus.

• Imaging, Multimedia, and Graphics Group

• Bioinformatics Research Group

• Advanced Research in Intelligent Education Systems (ARIES)

  ARIES is a focal point for research projects in the area of intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning environments.

• Software Engineering Laboratory

• Computer Systems, Networks, and Performance (DISCUS)

  The DISCUS Research Group conducts research relating to performance issues in distributed computing systems including: client/server systems, computer networks, wireless computing, multimedia systems, and eCommerce systems.

• Human Computer Interaction Lab

  The HCI research group investigates ways to improve human interaction with computer systems. Established research areas include information visualization, computer-supported cooperative work, and interfaces for information retrieval. Our web site contains project descriptions, publications, demos, and software downloads.

• Multi-Agent Distributed Mobile and Ubiquity Computing Lab (MADMUC Lab)

  Links to research goals, people (faculty and grad students), projects, publications, on-line demos, software and useful links.

• Metaview

  Metaview involves research in various aspects of software engineering with a focus on meta-systems.

• USER Lab

  Usability Engineering (UE) results from the intersection of software engineering (SE) with human-computer interaction (HCI). It provides a structured approach to developing usable user interface designs.

• Agents Lab
