Research
Research is a crucial component of the CS Department. As of 2006, the CS Department maintains over 20 research labs under its auspices.
A valuable resource to the CS Department is the 65 workstation CISE/IGERT Beowulf Cluster. It is dedicated to computing large amounts of information supplied by CS researchers and anyone from UCSB who needs access can apply through one of the campus' faculty investigators. Infrastructure for the research was partially funded by the National Science Foundation through grants EIA-0080134 and DGE02-21715.
The amongst the department's strengths are cloud computing, computer security, database systems, and human-computer interaction.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
