computer graphics, computer vision or database systems. These are all new
positions created as part of a general expansion of the department. The
successful candidates in the first to positions should have strong software
systems backgrounds. Truly outstanding applicants from other areas of
computer science will also be considered for the third position.
Responsibilities for all positions include research as well as teaching at
both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Excellent support is provided

the campus FDDI network to the remainder of the campus units and the
Internet. Experimental ATM network connections are available for research
projects. Instructional facilities include six Unix workstation (Sun, SGI
and Xterm) laboratories, three Pentium-based Microsoft NT laboratories, a
new HP Imaging Systems laboratory and one Intel 486 laboratory. There are
well-supported research laboratories in algorithmics, artificial
intelligence, cognitive science, communication networks, computer graphics,
computer vision and robotics, database, parallel and distributed systems,
and software engineering. A new multimedia research lab and institute has
just been started.
