Ourcourses are built on sound theoretical fundamentals and are oriented towards developingindependent creative thinking and ability to design solutions or to solve complex problemsin the field of 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, embeddedsystems.The institute is responsible for education in the accredited degree programmes at eachof the three levels of university education:−−−Computer Systems and Networks (bachelor degree) substituted in academic year2009/10 by Computer and Communication Systems and Networks (bachelor degree),Computer Systems and Networks (master degree) substituted in academic year2009/10 by Computer and Communication Systems and Networks (master degree),Computer Systems and Networks (doctoral 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 and implementationof automated engineering tasks in the area of HW/SW co-design of the mobile computingsystems, development of new algorithms and methodology for providing reliability andfault tolerance, development of new approaches and methods for security enforcement indistributed systems and elaboration of new methodology for VLSI system design and testingat the functional level that is applicable for integrating into ASIC and PLD design.59
