CSL is building this infrastructure today. The Coordinated Science Laboratory, one of the nation’s premier, multidisciplinary research laboratories, *R. K. Iyer served as director during the reporting focuses on information technology at the crossroads of period. computing, control, and communications. With a rich history of nearly 60 years of innovation, CSL has CSL's major research areas include: developed and deployed new technologies that have •Computing and Networks achieved international scientific recognition and •Decision and Control transformed society. At the laboratory, design, •Communications and Signal Processing implementation, interaction, and evaluation take place at •Circuits, Electronics and Surface Science every level, from circuits to systems and networks, and from algorithms to complex, new-generation architectures, Faculty associated with CSL are listed below: design tools and software. CSL uses these innovations to explore critical issues in Department of Aerospace Engineering defense, medicine, environmental sciences, robotics, life- C. Langbort enhancement for the disabled, and aeronautics. The N. Neogi laboratory has made many important contributions to P. Voulgaris NASA, the Department of Defense and major manufacturers including Motorola, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and many others. L. Liu The laboratory is led by a faculty of about 100 world- renowned experts and researchers from 10 departments, Department of Computer Science and assisted by 50 senior professional researchers, post- V. Adve docs, and adjunct faculty members. CSL also is home to G. Agha about 330 graduate students and 60 undergraduate R. Campbell students. CSL is located primarily in its own building, with G. Dejong additional facilities in the Engineering Science Building, C. Gunter Beckman Institute, and the Frederick Seitz Materials S. LaValle Research Laboratory. K.
