Overview
Arizona State University Graduate Programs in Computer Science in Tempe, Arizona
Located in Arizona State University's Fulton School of Engineering, the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program is part of the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering. It is located in Tempe, Arizona and has 45 faculty members and 350 graduate students. Teaching or research appointments are primarily given to qualified Ph.D. students.
Computer Security Program
Security of computer systems and networking has become an issue of extreme importance due to the proliferation of the internet and the sophistication of attackers. The scope ranges from personal computers to corporate servers, from e-commerce sites to government systems. At Arizona State University, the researchers in this arena are working on a variety of topics and developing protocols and systems that harden computers against attacks.
Cyberinfrastructure Program
The Cyberinfrastructure program integrates relevant and often disparate resources to provide a useful, usable, and enabling framework for research and discovery characterized by broad access and 'end-to-end' coordination.
Data, Information, and Artificial Intelligence Program
The Data, Information, and Artificial Intelligence program helps teach students in Tempe become researchers who address problems in database systems, information management, information integration, and intelligent agent design. Data management research addresses techniques for replication, indexing, security, and query processing in databases and systems for sensor data management, scientific data management, and web data. Information management investigates the use of events, rules, queries, and transactions in workflows over data services. Information integration combines techniques from distributed query processing and artificial intelligence for retrieval of data from distributed sources. Artificial intelligence research investigates automated planning, scheduling, constraint satisfaction, reasoning, logic programming, multi-agent systems, information extraction, and the semantic web.
Information Assurance Program
The program in Information Assurance (IA) focuses on the broad issues of developing trustworthy information systems and ensuring the quality of information being stored, processed, and transmitted by these systems. In addition, IA faculty members are participating in the Information Assurance, a National Center of Academic Excellent in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE) certified by NSA/DHS.
Multimedia, Visualization, and Modeling Program
The graduate program in Multimedia, Visualization, and Modeling leads to the development of sophisticated new analysis tools for multimedia data. Multimedia research on ASU's Tempe campus focuses on computational models for experiential systems, multimedia communication systems, ubiquitous multimedia computing, integration of database/internet technologies, digital media/arts, face/gait analysis and recognition, media processors, multimedia technologies for education, and multimedia document authoring. Arizona State University's modeling research includes urban/terrain modeling, point cloud fitting, and geometric modeling of cloud interface surfaces.
Networks, Operating Systems, and Compilers Program
In the Networks, Operating Systems, and Compilers program, students learn to become researchers who work on many core problems in these areas. Network research focuses on the investigation of issues such as routing, quality of service and reliability in optical networks, sensor networks, and wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. Operating systems research investigates efficiency and scalability over large networks and diverse applications with projects that range from large address space operating systems to peer-to-peer computing architectures.
Algorithms Program
The Algorithms program focuses on conducting research in areas ranging from applied algorithms to fundamental research on the limits of computing. Applied research focuses on combinatorial design and its application to hardware and software design. Application areas include the use of algorithmic techniques for computational biology. Fundamental research in algorithms addresses graph algorithms as well as search techniques and approximation algorithms. Research in algorithms includes resource localization, routing, caching, and streaming algorithms for networks, in addition to combinatorial design theory, security issues, and fault tolerance in sensor networks and distributed systems.
Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Program
Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing focuses on diverse core areas while working on various aspects of developing computing infrastructure that are intuitive to use in everyday scenarios irrespective of where and how they are invoked.
Service and Enterprise Systems Program
There are significant challenges that exist in the design, specification, and development of intra-organizational enterprise systems as well as business-to-business and business-to-customer enterprise systems. To address theses challenges, the Service and Enterprise Systems program addresses new directions in service-oriented computing, service-oriented architectures, and service-oriented software development.
Arizona State University Campus
Arizona State University is located in an attractive location slightly off-campus in downtown Tempe. It sits right in the center of a vibrant urban and college culture. A light rail connection from Tempe to downtown Phoenix is within walking distance. The Phoenix airport is a 15 minute drive from campus.
