Research
The division works in several areas where we contribute to future solutions in software engineering, distributed and parallel systems, network systems, networked systems security, and data science and applied AI.
Our faculty have these main research interests:
SCS Division of Software and Computer Systems conducts research and education on fundamental aspects of software technology and computer systems focusing on cloud computing, service computing, model-based computing systems, social networks, time aware systems, data science and applied artificial intelligence (AI), software engineering, networked systems, internetworking and security and privacy.
