The activities of the center are focused on the development of next generation knowledge-based Internet computing and web applications. Currently there are four major research thrusts that are integrated into a larger vision of a new model for peer-to-peer, web-based collaboration called a personal knowledge management peer-to-peer network or PKM-P2P.  

 

1) The MyBook Project

 

A model and system for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) on the PC.

 

2) MyPeers Project

 

Designing collaborative applications for peer communities. 

 

3) Web Mining Project

 

Web searching, relevancy, semantic web, web classification.

 

4) Graph Theory and Networks

 

Graph theoretic and algorithmic research with applications to networks and the Internet.

 

The center is currently home of the Laboratory for Networks and Applied Graph Theory.  Research facilities are housed in the Laboratory for Integrated Networked Computing (LINC)
