» Multimedia data compression and routing techniques
» E-commerce and e-medicine software
» Customized information delivery
» Distributed transactions and distance learning
» Web log analysis of visitor access patternsThe hardware technology includes mobile devices, thin clients or Internet appliances, multimedia transmission devices, switches and routers.
Computer science professor Sharad Mehrotra and UCSD collaborator Ramesh Rao, are researching how first responders, as well as key decision makers, share information and communicate during a crisis or disaster.
