    Geometric Computing Laboratory

    The Geometric Computing Laboratory (GCL) conducts research to improve the theoretical efficiency of algorithms with particular focus on geometric problems. GCL has been very successful in mentoring students and involving them in synergistic activities associated with international conferences funded by UNT/NSF.

    For the most recent conferences organized through GCL, see Workshop on Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Geometry and Geometry Day.

    Global Software Engineering Lab

    The Global Software Engineering Lab seeks to help students work more effectively in global software teams. The laboratory investigates various issues related to teaching undergraduate computer science students how to use computer-supported collaborative tools to work together to develop large software applications. It is particularly interested in determining which specific individual, spatial-temporal, and cultural factors are important and how they interact in the context of a computer supported collaborative environment. It is also interested in testing whether specific problems can be remediated through direct or indirect intervention, and whether these remediation strategies actually improve group performance. The group studies methodologies, techniques, and technologies which address these issues.
