UCI-DIP
Our goal in this project is to develop improved concepts, techniques and tools that will support highly effective information sharing and collaborative work practices. We are working to produce a viable, network-based infrastructure that enables game researchers, developers, educators and students to collaborate at a distance.
DVAS
Our goal is to to empirically investigate and comparatively analyze the development and use of decentralized virtual activities systems (DVAS) within a sample of multiple diverse organizational settings using a research approach that foregournds a balanced socio-technical perspecitve.
ISR
The mission of the Institute for Software Research (ISR) is to:
Advance software and information technology through research partnerships.
ISR is dedicated to:
OSS
UCI research in open source software development focuses on empirically-based studies of the processes, practices, and communities that develop open source software and related artifacts. Ethnographic and virtual enthnographic research methods are employed in the field studies of open source software development in communities that include those centered on Internet infrastructure, X-Ray astronomy and deep space imaging, networked computer games, and academic software design research.
Software Architecture
UCI's software architecture research is directed at increasing the overall quality of software while reducing both the cost of development and time to market by focusing attention on high-level, principal design issues. We believe that architecture is not just a phase in the development life cycle, but a discipline pervading all phases of development. Our research in software architecture differs from other approaches because it focuses on four key principles of software architecture:
