Research

The research at the department is also organized along its five divisions (sub-departments):

• At the Division of Computer Systems, research deals with architecture, computer networks, real-time systems, formal methods for specification and analysis of programs, neural networks, and computer science education.

• At the Computing Science division, research is focused around algorithm design, compiler construction, constraint programming, databases, distributed systems, e-commerce, formal methods, machine learning, programming languages, and software engineering.

• At the Human-Computer Interaction division, research concerns methods and techniques for making computers and technical systems more useful for human operators. The focus is on computer support systems in working life applications. Research activities cover methods for analysis, design, construction and evaluation of usability.

• At the Division of Scientific Computing, the research is about fast and reliable computational methods, theoretical studies using advanced mathematics as well as development of algorithms and software for high-performance computers. There are many application areas such as financial mathematics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), bioinformatics, computational electromagnetics (CEM), computer tomography (CT) and still more areas are developing.

• At the Division of Systems and Control, methodological research is done in the areas of estimation, system identification, signal processing, spectral analysis, fault detection, and automatic contol. More applied research areas are within wireless communications, radar and synthetic aperture radar, mechanical systems, process control, environment, and medicine.
