The mission of the Advanced Computing and Information Systems Laboratory (ACIS) is to conduct fundamental and applied research on all aspects of systems that integrate computing and information processing.

Current ACIS research falls under the following broad categories:

• Cloud Computing
  Using virtualization technologies for computing platforms, file systems, applications as services, networks and I/O systems
• Cyberinfrastructure for e-science and e-health
  For research on brain-machine interfaces, coastal and ocean modeling, genetics and atomic-scale friction
• Autonomic Computing
  As relevant to virtualized data centers, real-time systems, virtual networking and software-defined computer systems.
• Computer Architecture
  Including architectural support for virtualization, reliable computing and green computing
• Peer-to-peer Computing and Software Defined Networking
  Including self-organizing virtual networks, and structured and unstructured query systems
