Ph.D. students
If you are accomplished, highly motivated, and interested in doing doctoral research in the area of metacomputing, or if you know any promising undergraduate or recent graduate who may be interested in CX project, please bring this opportunity to his/her attention. Research activities include:

• global optimization
• resource alocation
• network flow
• security
• mobile code
• Jini and other distributed enviroments

If you would like to ask about doing your Ph.D. at UCSB, feel free to send Peter Cappello an email. Also be sure to peruse the online information about applying to the CS department.

Masters students
Currently, there's a wide range of research project, so any Masters student should be able to find a project that suits his/her individual research interests.

Undergraduates
The CX Project group team encourages all students who have done well in the CS/ECE major to consider doing an honors thesis. While the experience of doing independent research in computer science would be valuable to all majors, it is especially important to those planning to pursue graduate school in Computer Science or seeking employment in the computing field. Doing an honors thesis gives one the opportunity to get the "feel" of doing research, and provides important experience for graduate school or future employment. Both graduate schools and employers seek out students who have worked independently, since it provides students both the opportunity to learn one area in more depth than would normally be possible, and evidence that a student can successfully accomplish a major project. Students are advised to contact Pete Cappello, and see what project might be available.
