Algorithms and Computability

The study of algorithms and computability is at the foundation of computer science. A major goal is to design effective algorithmic paradigms and establish bounds on running times and space requirements. Another goal is to determine the extent of problems solvable on various models of computation. Research underway at the University of Tennessee includes work on a variety of problem domains, including parallel computing, network optimization, operations research and VLSI design. We seek to develop algorithmic approaches that bring powerful and, in many cases, emergent mathematical techniques to bear on critical combinatorial problems.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence research in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Tennessee is focused in the areas of neural information processing, genetic algorithms, and cooperative distributed robotics.

  • Neural information processing is the study of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and emergent computation issues based upon neural networks and models.
  • Genetic algorithms encompasses the study of models of machine learning which derive their behavior from a process of simulated evolution.
  • Cooperative distributed robotics is the study of multiple embodied agents and their interaction in a dynamic and uncertain world.
