Computing and Informatics/Information Science As computers permeate almost every aspect of our lives today, the technology surrounding them is on a continuing trajectory towards improved speed, reliability, efficiency and functionality. Research areas under the Computing and Informatics /Information Science theme include embedded systems; data mining, storage, management and security; enterprise and industrial applications; 3D visualization; ubiquitous computing; and transdisciplinary applications for creating unique living and learning environments.

Efforts in these areas often directly benefit Arizona's information management industry, its efforts to foster statewide sustainable growth initiatives, and its goals for promoting transdisciplinary solutions to solving complex problems in health sciences, biosciences, social sciences, and disability studies.

The Institute for Computing and Information Science and Engineering (InCISE) at ASU has the mission to share expertise in computer and information science/informatics, and apply it to research problems across other academic disciplines. Researchers in the center include individuals in cognitive sciences, earth and environmental sciences, biosciences, disabilities studies, business and linguistics. The institute has expertise in the areas of data storage, security, modeling, visualization, analysis and interpretation in interdisciplinary research and education and entrepreneurship. The following centers and research groups engage in various aspects of CI research:

The High Performance Computing Initiative (HPCI) is the Engineering School's most recent state-of-the art, powerful computing facility providing advanced parallel and grid computing with high speed storage and high performance capabilities.

Partnership for Research in Spatial Modeling (PRISM) conducts interdisciplinary research in modeling and visualization to permit intelligent analysis and create spatial and dynamic knowledge.

At the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC), researchers view problems from an end-user perspective employing principles in cognitive psychology to understand issues from the users' side. Research areas include visual cognitive modeling, human motion analysis, face recognition, gait recognition, neural rehabilitation and haptic interfaces.

The Intelligent Information Integration (ET-I3) research group is involved in developing flexible frameworks for data and information integration.

The Consortium for Embedded Systems is a partnership of universities and technology enterprises working together to build knowledge and expertise in embedded systems.

The Arts, Media and Engineering (AME) Program is engaged in transdisciplinary research and education that integrates media technologies and content to create new experiences in the arts.

Information Assurance (IA) research focuses on principles and techniques for information technology users to create, access, store, transmit, process and manipulate information with great confidence, without fear of unauthorized monitoring or tampering.
