Research

At the Computing Science Department research is focus around algorithms and their properties, programming languages, how to create efficient, fast and correct machine code, machine learning, distributed systems, automatic electronic negotiations and resource allocation.

Research at the Department of Computer Systems is about architecture, computer networks, real-time systems, formal methods for specification and analysis of programs, neural networks, and computer science education.

Research in Human-Computer Interaction 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 Department 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.

At the department 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.

Centre for Image Analysis is also assosiated to the IT-department. This unit is a co-operation between Swedish university of Agricultural Sciences and Uppsala university doing research in digital image analysis. The research is both basic theory and applications, mostly within environmental, industrial, and medical image analysis.
