Our center conducts research in selected areas of computer science by studying computational problems and building new systems. Some current activities include operating systems, distributed computing, algorithms, formal methods, internet-related security and systems, architecture, scientific computing, computational geometry, languages, user interfaces, and software design. Our company is a treasure trove of research problems, just waiting to be mined. We often build prototype systems, develop special purpose tools and languages, and pursue joint projects. Our work results in fundamental ideas and innovative tools, and is based on both individual research efforts and synergistic collaborations.
Projects can last from weeks to decades.
We are part of Bell Labs , innovating for Lucent Technologies . Since 1996 it operates as a successful, strong, and independent company. A pointer to some of our alumni . The things to the right have been produced by the people in our center over the last few decades. Most will need little explanation.
