Institute for Computational and Systems Science

In the Institute for Computational and Systems Science (I-CSS) we are developing fundamental principles and practical methods for problems that are computationally challenging and/or require unusual kinds of computing resource.

Our work spans fundamental work on algorithms and their complexity, high-performance numerical methods in scientific computing, architectures for highly distributed fault-tolerant grid computing, web technologies for collaborative computing, and interface and programming technologies for visual computing. Our research builds on our international reputation in this field, and our collaborations with industrial partners including Shell, BAE Systems, and NAG.

The Institute is home to five research groups:

• Algorithms and Complexity
• Distributed Systems and Services
• Scientific Computation
• Visualization and Virtual Reality
