Department of Computer Science

The Department has well-equipped, air-conditioned computer laboratories allocated batch-wise to the students. Lab contain the latest hardware and software. All computers are part of an intranet (1Gbps Backbone), which connects all buildings, including the hostels; and a high-bandwidth internet is available round the clock. Researchers have 24 hours access to the computational facilities. The students administer their own computer systems. Research centers provide specialized, high-end equipment, as needed in research and development projects.We also conduct software training using spoken tutorials. You will find a variety of spoken tutorials that will help students to learn and use open source software.

For the use of M.Sc. students. LINUX and Windows based Network systems and independent systems with latest operating systems and other curriculum related softwares.For M.Sc there was two lab ,PG Lab I for doing their lab works in C,C++,Python,MATLAB and some other advanced applicatiobn programms.PG Lab II is the Database Lab,here oracle based applications are done.Individual Laptops are provided for their academic projects

For the exclusive use of M.Tech students. High-end servers and high-end workstations like SGI systems. The labs are equipped with scanners, laser printers, CD writers, a modern digital camera, overhead projectors, LCD projectors and other modern teaching aids. The lab is also connected to the Optical Fiber Network Systems (Campus network) and to the Internet. 10 numbers of IBM Think Centre Dual Core, with extra graphic cards, MATLAB with Basic engine and tool boxes (14 modules) for 5 users on Windows.

Another lab with the High-end servers and high-end workstations like SGI system for the exclusive use of M Tech students. The lab is equipped with LCD projectors, IBM Think Centre Dual Core machines, with extra graphic cards, etc.Students are given individual system for doing their lab works and academic projects.

Methodologies based on Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques and Genetic Algorithms for Modeling and Control of Systems.Fractal Analysis of Atmosphere and Astrophysical Data & Image.Performance Analysis of Data and Image Compression Using Fractal and Wavelet Methods.Image Processing Techniques for Biodiversity Conservations

The A.I Lab explores new ways of solvinf research problems by applying advanced AI techniques using machine learning,deep learning,neural networks,fuzzy logic,natural language processing,knowledge representation and reasoning and genetic algorithms.

Our campuses are Wi-Fi enabled. The University has finished installing High Speed Wireless Networking in both the Kariavattom and Senate House Campuses. This has facilitated the completion of the e-governance programme being implemented in the University. Both the campuses are networked in an effective manner taking into account the future developments in the field of technology and communication, thus providing maximum benefits not only to the employees but also the stake holders and the students.

The Department has a fully computerized Library with more than three thousand titles in Computer Science and allied area. "SOUL", the special software developed by INFLIBNET for the modern libraries is used in the Department. A web based information system is developed for managing the non-textual documents of the Department like thesis, dissertations, seminar reports, project reports, negotiated study reports etc. This application is developed using GENISIS Web and WINISIS. The Subscription of various research resources like ACM Digital Library, IEEE (IEL online) through INDEST-AICTE Consortium, etc supports the research students in the department other sister departments.

Campus library
Campus Library is situated at Kariavattom campus. It was started in 1976 mainly to extend the library facilities to the campus community. It was envisaged as a reference collection initially stocking important reference books and textbooks prescribed for the various courses and materials useful for research scholars with a view to supplement the library resources of the departments. The selection, ordering and technical processing of the documents are carried out by the library independently and it has its own budget allocation. Still it continues to be a reference library and was put in charge of controlling the campus LAN. In addition to the reference facility, the library provides reprographic, internet and UGC-Infonet E-Journal services. The space constraint which was the main hurdle in the development of the library is over with the commissioning of the two storied new building with an area of 1238 sq.m in 2006. It has a modest collection of over 7000 books and subscribes to over 60 periodicals.
