Department of Computer Science - Research Agenda
Here at the Department of Computer Science (CS) we offer a diverse range of programmes which is reflected in the research interests of the lecturers within the department. This research agenda is developed with the aim of presenting the CS department as a holistic, integrated research subsection within the faculty of natural sciences. Each member of the department is an expert in their specific research area and knowledgeable of the gaps which need to be addressed in that domain. Despite the variation of research interests, there are three priority research areas that are grouped into the following themes which reflect the broader focus of the department, these are:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Distributed and Parallel Computing
- E-Learning
