Vision for the Computer Science Department:

To produce high quality graduates who will be among the top professionals and researchers in the field of computing, and who will be outstanding contributors in enhancing the quality of life for future generations.

New projects and classes in the Computer Science Department for Spring 2008

AttackAids@A&T:
In the AttackAids@A&T Grid Computing Project, we are developing High Performance Genetic & Evolutionary Supercomputations for solving the HIV-1 Protease Docking Problem.
Please email Dr. Dozier at participating in the AttachAids@A&T project. His email is: gvdozier@ncat.edu

Computational Hip-Hop:
In the Computational Hip-Hop program, we are trying to redefine Hip-Hop to have positive, uplifting, and inspiring messages. Currently, the focus our Computational Hip-Hop Research is the development of Hip-Hop arrangements and CD themes via Interactive Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms (IDEAs). Please sign up for a 3 credit course (COMP 590-section 2) entitled Computational Hip-Hop & OO Design taught Tuesday and Thursday 9:30 am to 10:45 am Spring semester 2008.

Please email Dr. Dozier for more information about this course gvdozier@ncat.edu
