The Lab staff comprises five professors, five adjuncts, two assistants and one lecturer. They conduct research in the field of theoretical and applied computer science. Current research is mainly focused on concurrency, modern artificial intelligence, and data mining. In particular, the following research areas are considered to be in the scope of the Lab staff:
- Oriented to concurrency: the modelling and analysis of concurrent systems, discovery of concurrent process models in data.
- Oriented to artificial intelligence: natural language processing, image and signal processing and analysis, approximate reasoning, expert systems.
- Oriented to data analysis: clustering, classification, prediction, pattern recognition, data reduction.
- Oriented to control design: control design for the robots.
In particular, researchers deal with Petri nets, rough sets, fuzzy logic, soft computing, intelligent decision making systems, signal and image processing, and databases. The research results are published in renowned journals or presented during international and domestic scientific conferences.
Some achievements of the Lab staff in the last years are:
- 5 PhD degrees,
- over 100 scientific publications (including over 20 in journals from Institute for Scientific Information Master Journal List),
- 3 realized team or PhD research projects financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland or the Marshal of the Podkarpacie province,
- over 70 active participations in scientific conferences (including over 40 foreign conferences or international conferences in Poland).
Harware and Software Equipment
The Lab equipment includes:
- personal computers with specialized software (e.g., MatLab, Adobe Design & Web Premium PL, SAS, Orange Data Mining, Rapid Miner, SciKit-learn, WEKA, Rosetta)
- own specialized software (e.g., ROSECON, PNES, SNetworks, PN-tools, RSDS),
- auxiliary hardware.
This equipment is available for the Lab staff and the computer science students cooperating with the Lab staff. Moreover, the didactics related to the computer science studies is supported by the hardware and software available in the Lab.
