  8. Research Areas • Human-Computer Interaction • Computational Biology/Bioinformatics • High-End Computing • Systems/networking • Computational science and engineering • Software Engineering • …and more Mission: Advancing computing in the service of science, industry and society.

  9. Human-Computer Interaction • Enabling effective interaction of people with information and each other using mechanisms mediated or enabled by computational devices and systems • Virtual environments • Visualization • Gigapixel display • Education applications • Aware spaces

  10. Gigapixel Display Project • Scalable • Reconfigurable • Multiple display technologies • Diverse input devices • Link to AwareLab, VICON

  11. Computational Biology & Bioinformatics • Advancing the life sciences through computation • Cell cycle modeling • Experiment management tools • Biotic stress • DNA folding • Drug discovery • Systems biology JigCell Expresso A Next Generation Software Systems for Microarray Experiment Management and Data Analysis

  12. Computational Biology & Bioinformatics • DNA strands believed to be rigid • Contradicted by recent experiments • System X used to simulate molecular dynamics The emerging picture of a much more flexible DNA may change our understanding of how DNA interacts with other biomolecules, such as proteins. An ability to correctly describe these interactions is of fundamental importance to molecular biology and medicine.

  13. High-end Computing Systems Fastest US academic supercomputer Building programming models, run-time environments, and architectures for next-generation high-performance computing systems.

  14. High-end ComputingComputational Science and Engineering • Working at the boundaries of science and engineering • Atmospheric modeling • Mathematical software • Numerical methods • Parallel computing algorithms Modeling the physical and chemical processes that influence air quality over thousands of square miles (e.g., the computed concentration of a trace of interest over a large region in Asia).

  15. Software Engineering • Inventing the next generation of software systems technology • Requirements engineering • Software maintenance • Software testing and reuse • E-systems engineering
