Projects & Research

Charlie Peck's Research

The overall goal of our work is to show that Beowulf clusters are practical, cost-effective, tools for undergraduate and faculty research across the natural sciences. As a start we have on-going projects in the following areas:

• Parallel available relational database management system (PA-RDBMS)
• Protein folding (as a participant in the Folding@Home project at Stanford University)
• Distributed file system support for large multi node volumes and redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID)
• System and network capacity measurement and management.

Jim Roger's Research

My research focuses on the logical foundations of grammar formalisms. Currently I am most actively involved in two areas:

• model-theoretic approaches to theories of syntax and
• descriptive characterizations of language-theoretic complexity classes.

Applied CS

The Computer Science Department organizes a number of applied CS groups. The primary aim of their projects is to give students an opportunity to apply and extend knowledge gained in the classroom to "real world" software and hardware projects.
