Welcome to the School of Computer Science research page. The School of Computer Science has several research efforts which conduct research on database management systems, developing new types of database systems, refineing 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.

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. Read more . . .

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.
