Singapore–MIT Alliance
The SMA Computer Science program aims to enable its graduates to contribute to the research and practice of cutting-edge computer science. The program also provides students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of the subject, so that they can adapt to changes in the field. Students in the program have the opportunity to pursue training projects and fundamental research in emerging topics of both economic and technological importance. Initially, research in the program will primarily focus on the development of distributed embedded systems and of intelligent networked applications. The goal of embedded systems research is to enable the efficient development of computer systems embedded in larger systems, such as cars, airplanes, consumer electronics, etc. These types of systems represent a major growth area for computer systems and present new challenges. Research in this area includes the development of programming and specification languages, development of language analysis tools, and hardware synthesis tools. Intelligent networked systems such as used in e-commerce, information retrieval and robotics, represent another major challenge for computing in this new century. Research in this area includes issues in databases,machine learning, networking and architecture. Our research on these and other applications will illustrate and motivate fundamental material presented in our coursework.
Research papers for 2002 in SMA's Computer Science Programme are available
