ISI conducts basic and applied research across an exceptionally wide range of advanced information processing, computer and communications technologies.  Our expertise ranges from core engineering and computer science discovery to design, modeling and implementation of innovative prototypes and systems – often bridging multiple technology disciplines, areas of expertise and traditional “silo” research approaches.

We work closely with our public- and private-sector customers to explore and develop diverse, high-impact information technologies for civilian and military uses.  ISI focuses on:

  • Distributed systems:  technologies that enable groups of people, software and hardware to analyze situations jointly and take coordinated action.

  • Intelligent systems:  artificial intelligence -- in natural language, education and information integration -- with broad societal and technological implications

  • Hardware systems:  physical devices and supporting technologies that perform to highly demanding specifications –and/or in highly demanding environments.
