Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity refers to the use of practices, technologies and processes to protect systems, networks, software and hardware components, and data from malicious attacks and threats. Research is ongoing in the areas of information systems security, network security, cloud computing security, application security, data security, mobile device security and digital forensics.
Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-Physical Systems are characterized by the integration of computing, networking and control techniques to intelligently monitor, analyze and control physical systems equipped with software and hardware components. Research is focused on identifying problems, designing algorithms and developing solutions to enable more convenient, safe, resilient, robust and reliable systems. Research topics include Internet of Things, edge commuting, location-aware services, wireless/mobile hearth and intelligent transportation systems.
Big Data and Data Analytics
Big Data is a term that describes the large volume of data generated from a variety of users and devices anywhere and at any time. Technology innovations, advances in communication, and affordable user devices have all contributed to an explosion of big data with new opportunities and challenges. Research is being conducted in the areas of scientific data management, data analytics, data models, data retrieval and reduction, data integration and database.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence involves the study, design and implementation of intelligent agents to model and reproduce natural intelligence. Research in this field includes fundamental and applied topics including knowledge representation, machine learning, swarm intelligence, game and decision theory, data mining and natural language processing.
Coding Theory
Coding theory has traditionally been used for detection and/or correction of errors in noisy communication channels. More recent applications include data storage, data compression, cloud computing and cryptography. Coding theory is an inter-disciplinary subject with connections to computer science, electrical engineering and many branches of mathematics. This research focuses on construction and decoding of error-correcting codes obtained from discrete and algebraic structures.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Robotics and autonomous systems are used in a wide variety of environments and applications such as power line inspection, automotive manufacturing, construction, precision agriculture and emergency rescue. Robotics and autonomous systems combine computing, sensing, communication and actuation to perform a series of intelligent operations in complex and diverse environments. Researchers at A&M-Commerce investigate autonomous driving sensing and perception, human-computer interaction, and motion planning and control.
