Welcome!

Welcome to the home page of the HiperSpace
Research Group! HiperSpace consists of a
group of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates in the
Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of
Delaware. Our research addresses various aspects of
program analysis and transformation for code optimization and software
tools, targeted toward software engineering and high performance
computer architectures. Current research projects focus on mobile code
validation through static program analysis, analysis
and testing of web-based software systems, online impact analysis
for software maintenance, testing program-based security
mechanisms, techniques and tools for aspect mining, and
developing an integrated approach to improve communication performance
in high performance clusters.
We are constantly changing our membership, and often
have opportunities
for new members to join our research group as a graduate student doing
Ph.D. research, as a master's student interested in doing a master's
thesis, or as an undergraduate student interested in summer
undergraduate research or an honors thesis. If you are interested in
discussing the possibility of joining our research group, send email to
Lori Pollock to
set up an
appointment.

News
|
Professors Lori Pollock and Vijay Shanker are featured in an article on UDaily talking about
the NSF grant that they have received. This grant is for their seminal work in introducing Natural Language Processing
techniques to the field of program analysis, thereby helping in a variety of program comprehension and maintenance tasks.
Here is a link to the article (our archived version) UD researchers mine words to help programmers

Projects
|
HiperSpace students are currently working on projects on
mobile code security, testing of
web applications, aspect-oriented program analysis and mining,
optimizations for cluster parallel programming, and exploiting dynamic
compilers for dynamic program analysis.
We have a research
project overview in PowerPoint and more complete
information on the projects here.

Current
SIGSYS Current schedule
SIGSYS is a weekly seminar discussing recent
papers of relevance to issues in systems,
high-performance computing, program analysis, and compilation
techniques.
Topics:
effective program compilation, programming languages and paradigms,
software tools, and analysis and optimization techniques for high
performance architectures and computing systems, including high
performance microprocessors, vector, parallel and distributed computing
systems, and networks of workstations.
Speakers include leading researchers from
academia, industry, and within the department.

Location
| |
We are not far off of Interstate-95 in Delaware.
From the North
- Take exit #1B: 896 North (following the signs for
the
University of Delaware)
- Follow 896 North, which becomes South College
Avenue if you go straight (896 will turn to the left)
- Keep going straight on South College to the
University's Main Campus (approx. 2 miles)
- Smith Hall is located on your left on the corner of
South College Avenue and Amstel Avenue (right next to the pedestrian
over-pass)
- Visitor parking is available on the left on South
College Avenue just before Smith Hall (Lot 41 in parking map,
look for the University Visitor's Center) or in the parking garage
located on Main Street (Lot 17 in
parking map)
From the South
- Take exit 109 A-B in Maryland to avoid the toll at
the DE line. Take the far ramp
toward Newark, which will put you on Elkton-Newark Road.
- You will be on Elkton Road for 3-4 miles until it
merges into one lane and curves right, where it changes into Delaware
Avenue.
- At the light, turn RIGHT onto South College Avenue.
Smith Hall is the second building on your right
- Visitor parking is available
- in a lot on the right on South College Avenue
(Lot 41 in
parking map, look for the University Visitor's Center) and
- in a parking garage on Amstel Avenue. Make a
RIGHT at the light onto Amstel Avenue and a LEFT at the next stop sign.
Parking garage is on your RIGHT (Lot 14C in parking map).
Bring your parking receipt to the CIS Office for
validation.
