Our courses arebuilt on sound theoretical fundamentals and are oriented towards developing independentcreative thinking and ability to design solutions or to solve complex problems in the fieldof engineering expertise.These courses cover basics and principles of mathematics, physics, basics of computingand programming, and concentrate mostly on the following domains: computer architecture,distributed systems and computer networks, design of digital systems, embedded systems.The institute is responsible for education in the accredited degree programmes at eachof the three levels of university education:−−Computer and Communication Systems and Networks (bachelor degree),Computer and Communication Systems and Networks (master degree).The institute has been active and successful in research and reflects in research the currentdevelopment of computer engineering in the world. The dominant research interests of theinstitute include:−−−−−design of digital systems and embedded systems, computer networks,creation of a novel effective formal specification tools, identification andimplementation of automated engineering tasks in the area of HW/SW co-design ofthe mobile computing systems,development of new algorithms and methodology for providing reliability and faulttolerance,development of new approaches and methods for security enforcement indistributed systems andelaboration of new methodology for VLSI system design and testing at thefunctional level that is applicable for integrating into ASIC and PLD design.59
