Centre of Excellence in Computer Science, EXCS |
EXCS (Estonian eXcellence in Computer Science) is a new
Estonian centre of excellence in research (CoE) 2008-2015 that has
been awarded funding within the Measure for the development of CoEs of
the Operational programme for the development of the economic
environment of the Estonian system for the implementation of the EU
Structural Funds 2007-2013.
EXCS is based on the target-financed themes of Tarmo Uustalu (Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn Univ. of Technology), Ahto
Buldas (Cybernetica AS), Jaak Vilo
and Mare Koit (University of
Tartu).
It builds on the achievements and experience of CDC (Centre for Dependable
Computing), the Estonian CoE in computer science and engineering
2002-2007.
