ISI's Advanced Systems group explores technologies in which systems are vital to  computing breakthroughs.  These include:

• Biomimetic systems and Systems-on-a-Chip:  the application of methods and systems found in nature to engineering and technology and systems-on-a-chip such as the MONARCH supercomputer on a chip
   
• Scientific Workflows:  systems for workflow planning, such as the Pegasus framework for mapping complex scientific workflows on the Grid
   
• Micro Satellites:  Satellites in which each satellite is, in fact, a system comprised of other  systems
   
• Information processing systems for intelligence: Strategies and capabilities for multi-intelligence and information operations.

Advanced Systems is led by John Granacki, Ph.D.
