About Us
The members of the Department of Information Systems conduct research in a broad range of distributed systems, computer networks, and cybersecurity, addressing a comprehensive set of challenges related to the design and operation of modern, distributed, efficient, scalable, reliable, and highly available information systems.
Our research interests focus on the following areas:
- Issues in concurrent processing,
- Reliability and consistency in distributed, cloud, and edge computing systems,
- Internet technologies and network services,
- Monitoring and management of distributed systems with automation mechanisms,
- Information system security,
- Exploration of distributed business processes.
The head of the department is dr. hab. inż. Anna Kobusińska, prof. PUT.
