Welcome SCS Alumni

The Department of Systems and Computer Science has been growing rapidly and changing dramatically over the years. We want to keep you apprised of resources available to you and of the news about the SCS community as a whole.

In order for us to track where our alumni are going, we've established a web based alumni directory. In addition, we ask that all alumni participate in the alumni survey in order to gather data for ABET accreditation purposes.

Graduated from graduate school? Changed jobs? Got a promotion? Received an award? Published a paper? Created some neat software or system? Let us know. Tell us your achievements in our web spotlight.

In order for us to continue our mission to expand and diversify the pool of qualified individuals in the computing profession, was ask for any support you can provide(i.e. Donations, Serve as Senior Project Mentor, give seminars/colloquiums, and serve on the Advisory Board).

Faculty Spotlight :

Dr. Burge's research interests lie in the field of distributed computing. The primary thrust of his current work is in global resource management in large-scale distributed systems using low cost commodity hardware. In particular, his interests involve the design and development of large-scale, non-dedicated, heterogeneous software distributed shared memory (DSM) systems. Moreover, he investigates issues associated with fault-tolerance, and the performance of DSM protocols running high transaction-based enterprise applications. He is also interested in middleware technology to support scalable infrastructures for pervasive environments capable of servicing a ...read more

Student Spotlight :

In the Summer of 2006, the Department with the help of Dr. Wayne Patterson, sent James Tolbert III to do research in Asia as a result of successful applications to the National Science Foundation. James Tolbert, a master's student in Computer Science, was selected for the NSF's East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes to do research in South Korea. James Tolbert, who returned to his native Washington from his undergraduate studies in computer science and dance at MIT, will do further research at the Korea Advanced...read more
