Information Processing Systems and Computing Laboratory , B.Javidi, Director . This laboratory is dedicated to research and education on information systems,signal and image processing, neural computing, real-time image recognition, information security, data encryption, optical signal processing systems, three dimensional display, three dimensional signal processing, ultrafast communication systems, ultrafast signal processing and computing, and optical data storage. The activities include both algorithms development, system design, and hardware implementation. The facilities include advanced computers,PCs, MACs, SUN workstations, extensive software packages, state of the art spatial light modulators, high definition display devices, high definition detector arrays, lasers, stable tables, optical benches, optical accessories,and holographic systems. Current research focuses on tunable IR lasers for remote sensing of atmosphere and on high-resolution molecular spectroscopy.
Current research is focused on all fiber-optic broadband communication networks.
Laboratory has been dedicated to manufacturing systems research. The Laboratory also works with Northeast Utilities to develop advancedpower system scheduling and transaction methodologies to minimize the total generation costs. The methods developed for manufacturing and power systems are in production use by many companies on a daily basis. The Laboratory is part of UConn's Taylor L. Booth Center for Computer Applications and Research. System Optimization Laboratory, K.R. Pattipati .
