What we do

Software Engineering

We research programming languages, software modularity, and agent-based models to solve real-world problems. Our work combines software engineering principles with practical methods and tools to improve the design, development, maintenance, and analysis of reliable and adaptable software systems.

Distributed Computing

We develop middleware and system software for distributed environments, including wireless sensor networks, the Internet of Things, and autonomous robots. Our work explores embedded operating systems and virtual machines that support reliable communication, coordination, and scalable distributed infrastructure.

Computing for Business

We develop computational solutions for challenges in finance, accounting, tourism, and decision science. Our work combines business analytics, information systems, and agent-based simulations to support informed decisions and improve our understanding of complex economic processes and organizational behavior.
