The Center for Information and Communications Sciences (CICS) is a
research center spanning the College of Engineering and the Department
of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware.
The CICS conducts basic and applied research for sponsors in the
National Security sector, facilitating research interactions between associated faculty, industry, and federal and state government agencies. The center also provides graduate and
undergraduate students with the opportunity to participate in research
projects. Our research addresses technical issues and barriers to
commercialization in the following areas:
- Network Science
- Cybersecurity
- Mobile Networking
- Advanced Computing
- Multifunctional Materials
- Robotics
- Information Networking
Founded in March, 2009 by W. David Sincoskie, placement of the CICS at the University of Delaware
in Newark, Delaware provides easy access to organizations located near the Aberdeen Proving Ground and other clients in the greater
Washington, DC area. For Delaware, the center creates opportunities
for national and international recognition and a platform for economic
growth in the information and communications sector.
