The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California is involved
in a broad spectrum of information processing research and in the development of advanced computer
and communication technologies.
The Institute was founded in 1972 and is located in Marina del Rey, California.
Divisions
ISI is divided into eight "divisions", each of which contains research groups focused on a particular aspect of information science:
Division 1: Computational Sciences
Conducts research in the areas of applied mathematics, compilers, clusters, and other large-scale applications with emphasis of maximizing thoroughput.
Division 2: Distributed Scalable Systems
Conducts research in areas that deal with groups of computers, particularly those that are involved in mobile or distributed applications. Topics include information space analysis and e-commerce.
Division 3: Intelligent Systems
Conducts research in the area of artificial intelligence and related fields such as data mining, robotics, and machine learning.
Division 4: Silicon Systems
Conducts research in low-cost low-volume semiconductor manufacturing.
Division 7: Computer Networks
Conducts research into all forms of computer networking including networking protocols, distributed networking, embedded networking, sensor networks, and middleware.
Division 8: Advanced Systems
Conducts research into unconventional and cutting-edge systems in a range of areas such as compilers, VLSI, grid computing, wireless systems, and computer-aided design.
Division 9: Integration Sciences
Conducts research into distributed databases, pattern recognition and their applications.
Division 10: Dynamic Systems
Conducts research into standard and embedded systems that adapt to changes in power, configuration, or environment.
