Singapore–MIT Alliance
Description of Research Programme:
The SMA Computer Science program enables its graduates to contribute to the research and practice of cutting-edge computer science. The program aims to produce technology leaders who have a solid grounding in fundamentals, as well as experience and appreciation for advanced research. Coursework includes artificial intelligence and machine learning, languages and compilers, algorithms, grid and parallel computing, graphics, database technology, computer systems engineering, pervasive computing, theory of parallel systems, and research methodology. The coursework is integrated with hands-on research and industrial internship projects.
The research theme in the SMA Computer Science Program centers on adaptive computing technologies – how can we design and build computer systems that respond intelligently to a changing world, operating under serious resource constraints when only limited and unreliable information is available? One application deals with helping the elderly to live independently at home. Students in the Computer Science program can alternatively pursue innovative research on other topics of economic and technological importance, from computer graphics to Internet technology.
