The excellent reputation of the Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia Lab, a research facility in the Computer Science Department at UC, combined with the natural attractions of the stunning South Island of New Ҷֱ, make the lab an appealing destination for sabbatical leave.
Our goal is to understand human factors in computer use, and to use this knowledge to create interfaces that are faster to learn, more efficient to use, and more subjectively satisfying than the current state of the art.
Our research in Computer Networking includes enhancing TCP performance on both wireline and mobile wireless networks. Current projects at the Research Laboratory on Network Management, Performance and Simulation arein multimedia communications networks, the Internet, grid processing, and distributed computer simulation.
