ABOUT THE SMU SCHOOL
OF COMPUTING AND INFORMATION
SYSTEMS
A premier university in
Asia, the Singapore
Management University (SMU) is internationally recognised
for its world-class research and distinguished teaching.
Established in 2000, SMU's mission is to generate leading-edge
research with global impact and produce broad-based, creative and
entrepreneurial leaders for the knowledge-based economy. SMU
education is known for its highly interactive, collaborative and
project-based approach to learning, and for its technologically
enabled pedagogy of seminar-style teaching in small class
sizes.
The

School of Computing and
Information Systems (SCIS) offers an exceptionally
supportive and inspirational environment for academic scholarship
and research, applied R&D projects, and innovative education
initiatives. We currently have around 57 tenure-track faculty
members working across research areas in computer science &
engineering, and information systems management. They are
complemented by over 35 practice / education faculty members and
lecturers who focus on teaching, translation and pedagogical
research.
Our
Research. We are passionate about our
href="https : / / computing.smu.edu.sg / research">
research .
We aim for excellence both in fundamental contribution to academic
knowledge, as well as in creating technology with practical impact.
Real-world industry sectors provide SCIS with a testbed and
laboratory for experimentation, as well as a fertile breeding
ground for new ideas. Our faculty and students apply their research
results to solve real problems in a variety of industry settings
and to create IT applications and systems. At the same time, our
faculty actively publish in top-quality Computer Science and
Management Science conferences and journals. On our faculty are
several world-class scholars and rising stars in their respective
disciplines.
We are committed to supporting the
development of our faculty. Besides start-up support and career
mentoring for junior faculty, their Ph.D. students are funded by
the school rather than paid from their research grants. SCIS
faculty members are encouraged to collaborate on innovative
research projects and also on integrative and interdisciplinary
projects. SMU as well as Singapore government agencies, such as the
National Research Foundation, provide generous support for
high-quality research proposals.
A noteworthy
example of our funded research is the
