Industrial Partnerships

The department offers opportunities to interact on a number of levels with internationally respected scientists in such vital areas as:

artificial intelligence
computational methods for mechanical design and simulation
distributed computing and fault-tolerance
formal specification and verification methodologies
graphics (through affiliation)
information technology
language, document classification and retrieval
networking databases
parallel computing
programming languages
programming logics
remote collaboration technologies
robotics
scientific and numerical computing
theoretical computer science
vision and image interpretation
supercomputing (through affiliation)

Industrial partners are invited to participate directly in the technology development process, through on-campus representation, visits, and consulting arrangements. Additional opportunities include access to technical reports, colloquiums and seminars, the department’s annual report, and résumés submitted by B.A., B.S., M.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D. candidates expecting to graduate.

Computer Science faculty and researchers are collaborating with industrial partners. Intel, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and Lucent funded significant new activities this year. Intel has been an active research partner for a number of years. Its current donation of workstations expands and upgrades the department’s research environment. Microsoft’s donation of funds for workstations for our PhD students and its substantial donation of software benefits both research and instruction. Hewlett Packard’s gift of workstations upgrades the department's instructional facility and enhances undergraduate curriculum development.

As a new industrial partner, Lucent’s loan of equipment and donation of funds is a significant contribution to research in multimode networking. Xerox continues its support of collaborative research through the Design Research Institute and the Xerox Term Chair, held by Brian Smith.

An expanded joint information technology laboratory is being constructed with continuing support from GTE and AT&T and with a previous gift from CEO David Duffield of Peoplesoft. This laboratory will showcase emerging technologies developed through the collaborative research efforts of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science faculty.
