Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

The computing and networking infrastructure, embodied in the Internet, has  dramatically altered the technological, scientific, and sociological landscape. The full  potential of this technology, specifically with respect to embedded devices, has yet to be realized. When computing oriented architectures are seamlessly embedded into a diverse set of applications that are seemingly unrelated to computing, the impact of the infrastructure will increase exponentially.

Realizing the importance of real-time adaptive embedded computing architectures, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has made this a strategic research area. The department also  recognizes that focusing on the newer capabilities of the computing infrastructure must coincide with work on the demands and deficiencies of the existing infrastructure.
