Origin of Research Day • Before DPS program, School of CSIS did little research • Pace University was, and still is, primarily a teaching institution • No associated engineering school • Hard science departments, such as mathematics and physics, do little research and basically service the other departments • With the DPS program • Research oriented faculty hired and DPS students conducted research • History of CSIS research platforms • 2001: 6 Pace CSIS papers in MASPLAS 2001 at IBM Research • 2002: Pace CSIS hosted MASPLAS 2002 at Pace Grad Center • 2003: First Pace CSIS Research Day Conference 2013 Research Day
Sources of Research Day Papers • Faculty • Externally funded work, individual faculty research, early versions of papers submitted to external conferences • Doctoral Students (currently from DPS program) • Summarize completed dissertation work, describe ongoing dissertation work, present an extended research proposal • Masters Students • Summarize thesis work, present capstone/other project work • Undergraduates • Present individual work and course project work • Joint work of Seidenberg & non-Seidenberg folks 2013 Research Day
