Software Systems Research at UCLA

The UCLA Computer Science Department has a diverse group of faculty and students working in the area of software systems. We have a broad array of ongoing research activities that span the entire spectrum of software systems, including programming language design and implementation, software engineering, operating systems, and embedded systems.

Current Research Projects

  • Asbestos, operating system based on new labeling and isolation primitives
  • Atasyn, timing analysis of TCP servers for surviving denial-of-service attacks
  • Avrora, scalable sensor network simulation with precise timing
  • Blast, software model checking for C
  • Clarity/JavaCOP, user-defined type extensions
  • Click, modular router
  • Cloudfarm, a peer-to-peer system that enables end-user machines to participate in data storage for Web applications
  • Conquest-2, low-energy file system design
  • Eel, event-driven programming library with verification and tool support
