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.
