Modern-day data centers store large volumes of information in distributed form, placing parts of the same data file on different servers in the system. Unfortunately, servers fail on a regular basis, either transiently or permanently. When they do, recovering the data stored on them depends on methods of data encoding. Developing these methods is critical to designing large-scale storage systems.

Collections of sequences of zeros and ones formed of n bits, called codes, are used for representing data to be stored in computer memory or transmitted over an optical cable. In many applications in communications, statistics, and computer science it is beneficial to choose a code that is in some ways uniformly distributed over the set of all the possible binary sequences. These applications have led researchers to define a large group of problems in applied mathematics both on the theory side and in the domain of data processing procedures.

ISR faculty and their students are playing key roles in the University of Maryland and University of Maryland Baltimore County’s (UMBC) new "ARTIAMAS" cooperative agreement with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The five-year agreement—worth up to $68 million—focuses on safe, effective, and resilient capabilities and technologies that work intelligently and cooperatively with each other and humans. The research will span engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity.
