Research Projects
Research in the Ph.D. program in Computation, Organizations and Society
(COS) appears at the confluence of computer science and a combination
of management, social science, law, and policy. Projects in COS are
heavily rooted in computer science, but are a multi-disciplinary pursuit.
Recent research areas include privacy technology, social networks and
e-business. A sample of student publications,
and a list of affiliated Research Centers and Labs conducting COS projects appear further below.
Recent Project Areas
- Coordination of open source software development teams
- Vulnerabilities in terror and drug networks
