Centre of Excellence in Computer Science, EXCS
EXCS (Estonian eXcellence in Computer Science) was an
Estonian centre of excellence in research (CoE) project 2008-2015
funded by the European Regional Development Fund within the Measure
for the development of CoEs of the Operational programme for the
development of the economic environment of the Estonian system for the
implementation of the EU Structural Funds 2007-2013.
It built on the achievements and experience of CDC (Centre for Dependable
Computing), the Estonian CoE in computer science and engineering
2002-2007.
NEWS:
From 2016, we will continue in a new national CoE called
EXCITE. The new centre is based on the former EXCS and CEBE plus the
robotics groups of Maarja Kruusmaa and Alvo Aabloo and the control
theory group of Maris Tõnso. The language technology groups of Einar
Meister and Heiki-Jaan Kaalep will continue in a different CoE, the
Centre of Estonian Studies.
This project finished 31 August 2015. Thanks to all who
contributed.

ISI
Web of Science indexing is a poor indicator of CS research
quality. Nevertheless, our funders, HTM and Archimedes, measure our performance based on this data alone.
