September 2009 -- Drs. Ali Ebnenasir and Steve Seidel were recently awarded $106,000 from the National Science Foundation in support of their research. Their project is entitled "Towards the Model Checking of the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) Applications". The goal of this project is to use model checking techniques to increase the dependability of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications based on the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model of shared memory parallel computing. The project is expected to take approximately 18 months.

December 2009 -- Dr. Charles Wallace has been named a Fulbright Scholar. Beginning January 2010 Dr. Wallace will spend six months teaching and conducting research in the Computer Science Department at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica in Santiago, Chile.

The highly competitive Fulbright Program is the flagship international exchange program sponsored by the US government. It is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the US and other countries.

While at Pontificia Universidad Catolica, Dr. Wallace plans to help the university develop a software engineering specialty curriculum there. He is also looking forward to investigating the complexities that non-native speakers of English encounter when trying to communicate with the English-dominated software industry. Dr. Wallace's research interest is in software engineering, particularly the challenges of communicating about software.
