collaborations


The Alberta Informatics Circle of Research Excellence operates grant programs that cultivate the development of world-class research teams in Alberta.

Informatics - that is, areas of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, physics, mathematics and other disciplines related to information and communications technology - is the focus of iCORE's programs.


Networks and Communications
(for example, wireless communications, Internet protocols, protocol design and performance analysis)

High Performance Computing
(for example, grid computing, very large database systems, and computational science)

Human and Computer Interfaces
(for example, computer graphics, multimedia, collaboration, privacy, cryptography and secure systems integration)

Intelligent Information Systems
(for example, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and data integration)

Software Systems
(for example, system design, development, tools, and evaluation; embedded and distributed systems)

New Architectures and Devices
(for example, quantum computing, molecular computing, and nanocomputing)
