About the department (cont.) »
Departmental faculty are closely affiliated with the multi-university, multi-disciplinary Institute for Software Research (ISR), as well as other research groups and centers on and off the campus (CRITO, ABRC, ACE, Cal(IT)2).
These affiliations enable close collaborations, not only with an extensive network of researchers outside of the department, but also with governmental and industrial partners.
Additionally, the department houses three leading research groups/laboratories:
The Interactive and Collaborative Technologies group (formerly CORPS: Computers, Organizations, Policy and Society) is widely known for its in-depth studies and system development concerning the use of computer and information technologies in real-life situations, including their organizational and societal impact.
The Software group, with six faculty and more than 20 graduate students, represents one of the world's leading groups of experts in designing innovative approaches for consistently building software cheaper, faster and more reliably.
LUCI, the new Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, addresses problems that arise from the ubiquitous computing vision; the design of novel devices, the structures of software systems, techniques for designing and building systems, patterns of interaction and cultural implications of ubiquitous computing.
