Research
The Department has several research labs.
Networks and Distributed Systems Group
The Networks and Distributed Systems Group (NDSG) or alternatively, the Networks and Distributed Systems Laboratory (NDSL), conducts research in the general areas of computer networks, distributed systems, and embedded systems. Specific areas covered by recent NDSG projects incl…
Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence Group
The Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence Group (CVMIG), led by Professor Prospero Naval, is concerned with the understanding and construction of computational systems whose underlying computation utilizes to a substantial degree methods proper to or closely associated with A…
Service Science and Software Engineering Laboratory
The Service Science and Software Engineering Laboratory (S3), headed by Professor Jaime Caro, is concerned with methodology, quality, and other issues in the creation and delivery of service systems, including the dynamic interplay of people, technology, information and organiza…
Algorithms and Complexity Laboratory
The Algorithms and Complexity Laboratory (ACL) has a diverse range of research interests, but all anchored on a theoretical computer science perspective. Current research areas include natural computing (particularly membrane computing and quantum algorithms), algorithmics for h…
Web Science Group
The Web Science Lab (WSL) focuses on the analytical power of researchers from disciplines as diverse as mathematics, sociology, economics, psychology, law and computer science in order to understand and explain the Web. It is necessarily interdisciplinary; it is as much about so…
Computer Security Group
The University of the Philippines (UP) Computer Security Group (CSG) is a research laboratory established in 2002. It is focused on the study of security mechanisms and protocols with a particular emphasis in the design and development of secure applications. As part of its affi…
System Modeling and Simulation Laboratory
The System Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (SMSL) is currently very busy optimizing vaccine allocation for Covid-19, and with analysis and data collection for the SDG Target Interactions. A graduate student is soon to defend his thesis on a coupled discrete-continuous model f…
