However, it also entertains proposals relating to other aspects of computer science, including those involving theoretical work. CAS is continually initiating long-term projects in collaboration with other members of the research community. The results of these projects vary from research publications to prototypes and new directions for products. Every year CAS hosts up to 150 faculty members and over 60 graduate students from more than 50 international universities. Typically, students and their respective supervisors are assigned to a research associate who will work as a contact for a specific development group.
Graduate students receive fellowships that are renewable for up to three years.
Students also have the opportunity to spend their summer at the IBM Toronto Lab and closely work with development groups. For more information on current CAS projects, the people involved, and how to initiate a new CAS project see the side bar.
