Information Access
|
| Haystack |
The Haystack Project investigates the integration of information
retrieval systems into an individual's computational environment, focusing
on issues of per-user customization. |
| Information
Architecture |
The Information Architecture project seeks to design information
spaces, in which people can navigate and form conceptual maps of knowledge
in the same way they navigate and form mental maps of the physical environment. |
| InfoLab |
InfoLab Group develops intelligent interactive software
systems that help people access information and solve problems on human
terms. We conduct research in natural language processing and multimedia
information access. |
| Knowledge-Based

Virtual and Enhanced Reality
|
| Virtual
Worlds Project |
The Virtual Worlds Project is an effort to create advanced
distributed simulation systems. The aim of the project is to develop the
fundamental science and technology underlying these simulation systems.
The core areas of research include physical simulation, intelligence entity
simulation, advanced human-machine interfaces, graphics, distributed interactive
simulation (DIS) protocol, and application development.
One current project on human machine interfaces is the telemedical
robot. |
Computing Systems and Environments
|
| Reinventing Computing seeks to rethink the
way computing systems are engineered -- radically changing the computing
landscape for the 21st century. The key theme is providing software and
hardware technologies engineered to adapt to inevitable changes in base
technology and application usage pattern. |
Reinventing
Computing |
| The MIT Concurrent VLSI Architecture (CVA)
Group investigates methods for applying VLSI technology to information
processing problems. Ongoing projects address issues in parallel computer
architecture, parallel computer software, interconnection networks, special
purpose processor design, and VLSI design. |
Concurrent
VLSI Architecture Group |
| The Abacus project is building a high performance
SIMD computer targeted at early vision applications. |

Project
MAC |
| A project to develop a new, highly portable
programming environment for Unix, the World Wide Web, and wearable computers. |
The
Scheme Underground |
| The MIT Transit Project aims to design, build,
program, and utilize novel massively parallel MIMD computer architectures.
We utilize cutting edge technology to achieve practical systems with a
high degree of both scalar and parallel performance. To make very large
computer systems practical, we are concerned with fault-tolerance and scalability. |
