UMIACS Research Laboratories
- Laboratory for Parallel Computation
- Explains the available supercomputing facilities available to the
research community at UMIACS.
-
High Performance Systems Laboratory
- The CHAOS research group at the University of Maryland, College Park has
developed methods that are making it possible to produce portable
compilers and runtime libraries to map a broad range of challenging
applications onto high performance computer architectures.
-
Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) Lab
- The Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) Lab
promotes research interaction at a variety of levels including faculty,
postdoctoral researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students who
are interested in a variety of areas including Information Mediation,
Heterogeneous Knowledge Servers, Information Filtering and Retrieval,
Machine Translation, Psycholinguistics, Linguistically based approaches
to Natural Language Processing and Foreign Language Tutoring.
-
Software Engineering for Real-Time Systems Laboratory (SERTS)
- Directed by Dr. David B.
Stewart, this is a joint effort with the
Electrical Engineering Department
and is also affiliated with the
Institute for Systems Research.
Some of the projects include Chimera Real Time Operating System, and
Onika Visual Programming Environment (in collaboration with
CMU).
-
Experimental Software Engineering Group
- The Experimental Software Engineering Group (ESEG) of the University of
Maryland has the original view of software engineering as a laboratory
science. Specific research projects are centered around formalizing
various aspects of (a) the Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP),
(b) the Goal/Question/Metric approach (GQM), and (c) the Experience
Factory (EF).
-
P-CHASM Laboratory
- The P-CHASM laboratory seeks to apply ideas developed in the high-end
scientific computing area to commercial applications including
databases and mixed media. It consists of a network of commodity
personal computers connected by a high speed LAN.
-
The DIMSUM Project
- The DIMSUM (Distributed Information Management Systems at the
University of Maryland) project is developing a flexible architecture
to support both queries and navigational data access in local-area and
wide-area distributed systems.
-
Mobile Computing and Multimedia Lab (MCML)
- The goal of this lab is to investigate technical problems related to
Mobile Computing and Multimedia Networking and the integration of these
two technologies. Mobility Routing Protocols, Service Location
Protocols, Protocol and Device Performance Evaluation, Multimedia
Teleconferencing, Video on Demand, Multimedia QOS requirements on ATM
networks and Operating System Design and Implementation are some of the
issues being researched.
