COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE |
| |
| Computational Intelligence encompasses the areas of evolutionary computing, fuzzy computing and neurocomputing. Other areas such as simulated annealing could be included although there is no general consensus on this. These techniques are applied to solve problems for which traditional computational science approaches have been proven to be inadequate. At Norfolk State we have been applying these techniques to probelems in emergency vehicle location, distributed database design, database clustering and computer security. | |

COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE |
| |
| Computational Science is the application of computer techniques to problems in science and engineering. The are is diverse since each discipline brings with it unique problems. At Norfolk State the focus has been the development of simulaton techniques to support computational intelligence problems. | |

COMPUTER NETWORKS |
| |
| The field of computer networks research covers a broad range, e.g., Internet, wireless sensor networks ad-hoc wireless networks, and optical networks to name a few. The challenging problems may vary significantly on different networks. However there are some common and fundamental problems such as routing, resource management, quality of service, and capacity planning. | |

COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION |
| |
| Computer Science Education is generally concerned with the implementation and or evaluation of computer programs, curricula, courses as well as syllabi, laboratories and other elements of teaching and pedagogy. Computer Science education research at Norfolk State University focuses on the are of retention, recruiting and improving pedagogy. | |

INFORMATION ASSURANCE |
| |
| One US Military definition of Information Assurance (IA) Technology is "Information Operations that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation." At NSU, Information Assurance is a very active area of research spearheaded by Dr. Patrick and supported by a muli-million dollar grant from the Department of Defense. | |
