Research plan for CS Department, Faculty of Computers and information systems, Helwan University,

Spring 2013

Abstract

The Faculty of Computer Science Department is targeting this year industrial and real practical problems in CS that face our country Egypt. We aim to downsize the gap between the research and the industry by seeking high quality academic research.

With this strategic research plan, the CS department lays out its di- rection for the next two academic years. The plan is the result of a uni ed vision by all sta members to nd out real solutions to current problems we face in Egypt. This important development creates new challenges and opportunities for CS research and education.
