Abstract

The three-year undergraduate program in computer and information sciences was started in 1983. Graduate level teaching and research started in 1986. Funding of research is quite adequate, but other resources such as research expertise, research students, and research time are in short supply. To some extent, shortage of research expertise is alleviated by forging research alliances with universities in the USA and through the appointment of visiting professors. The major current research areas are telecommuting, applications of IT in small businesses, group decision support systems, and government policy and diffusion of information technology. Future plans envisage strengthening the graduate level curriculum, starting the PhD program, and identifying new research areas
