Approach
The Algorithm and Software Development group works utilizes industry, academic, and research expertise to deliver innovation applications and products in algorithm and software design. The group collects information from researchers and end-users to identify needs and processes to form collaborative approaches and solutions. By using standard software engineering methodologies, researchers implement, test, validate, and maintain software. The group also seeks to find novel solutions for complex problems by integrating off-the-shelf devices and algorithms, and builds robust, scalable cyber-infrastructure to support application deployment.
