Research Mission
To satisfy UMSEC's mission to advance the science and practice of software engineering, we are
committed to nurture innovative applied and basic research insoftware engineering and related areas.
Our aim is to address long and short-term problems of practical relevance and rigorously evaluate our
solutions on realistic problems. Such a research model requires a tight connection with software
practitioners -- a connection we hope achieve through UMSEC's commitment to industry collaboration
through research, education, and outreach.
UMSEC Research Foci
UMSEC's research foci include Requirements Engineering, Model-Based Development, Formal Modeling,
Analysis and Testing, Software Safety, Software Engineering Education, Object Oriented Technologies,
Aspect Oriented Programming, Extensible Programming Languages, Domain Specific Languages, Programming
Languages, Computational Logic, Security, Data Bases, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Supported
Collaborative Work, and E-commerce.
Research Faculty
The University of Minnesota is the state's primary research university and the only university
granting a PhD in Computer Science. UMSEC's faculty consists of researchers with national and
international reputations and is drawn primarily from the Department
of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Minnesota.
In addition to the UMSEC faculty, UMSEC collaborators can draw
on the broad expertise of the full CSE faculty -- a faculty that covers most disciplines of computer
science and engineering, including software engineering, computer graphics, robotics, artificial
intelligence, programming languages, databases, human-computer interfaces, internet technologies,
bio-informatics, data mining, computer networks, high performance computing, computer architecture,
parallel and distributed systems, theory and algorithms, system software, and several other areas.
