The Center for Advanced Distributed Systems Engineering (CADSE) is a research division of School of Computer Science at Florida International University. Its mission is to establish a streamlined research, technology exploration and advanced training program in the field of distributed and Internet-based computing. The Center's R&D cover both theoretical and practical aspects of distributed systems engineering, i.e. using engineering methods and technologies to tackle development problems of complex, reliable, and/or real-time distributed systems. Our research has been supported by grants and contracts for over $5 million by National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Research Laboratory Rome Site, Army Research Office, NASA and Industry. Current projects of the Center focus on formal design methods for distributed systems, distributed system and software architecture, distributed object technology, and software testing.
