The Flux Research Group works in software systems. Our
interests and work cover many areas, including both local and
distributed operating systems, networking, component-based systems,
programming and non-traditional languages, compilers,
information and resource security,
and even a pinch of software engineering and formal methods.
All of our publications and
some presentations are available. Additionally,
we try to produce and distribute usable versions
of the developed software.
