- EXCITING NEW TAUGHT POSTGRAD PROGRAMMES FOR AUTUMN 2003
The School of Computing is to launch new one year
full-time MSc programmes in the expanding areas of Bioinformatics
and Security
& Forensic Computing (subject to Validation). With the first
intake of students in September 2003, these are additional to
the School's existing Grad
Dip/MSc in IT and MSc
in E-Commerce programmes. The two new programmes have been
specifically designed to produce graduates with the personal and
professional skills required to prosper in these growing industries.
Significantly, the MSc
in Bioinformatics also comes with major funding support for
EU students.
In addition to these programmes, the DCU School of
Computing, in conjunction with DCU Business School
is to launch a new two-year part-time MSc in
E-Commerce(Corporate) at Citywest.
With a practical, industry-oriented focus and excellent
graduate employment prospects, DCU will be the only university
in the Republic of Ireland to offer taught MSc programmes in these
exciting areas.

- Computing Lecturer Releases New Book: (18th August '03)
The School of Computing's Andy Way has published a new book
entitled "Recent Advances in Example-Based Machine Translation" with
Michael Carl (IAI, Saarbruecken, Germany).
"Recent Advances in Example-Based Machine Translation" is of relevance to
researchers and program developers in the field of Machine Translation and
especially Example-Based Machine Translation, bilingual text processing and
cross-linguistic information retrieval. It is also of interest to translation
technologists and localisation professionals.
"Recent Advances in Example-Based Machine Translation" fills a void, because it is
the first book to tackle the issue of EBMT in depth. It gives a state-of-the-art
overview of EBMT techniques and provides a coherent structure in which all
aspects of EBMT are embedded. Its contributions are written by long-standing
researchers in the field of MT in general, and EBMT in particular. This book can
be used in graduate-level courses in machine translation and statistical NLP.

- IRCSET Embark Scholarships - 1st Round Success: (5th August '03)
The School of Computing enjoyed an unprecedented first-round success rate in
the IRCSET Embark Scholarships for postgraduate study this June. Initially five
applicants to the School were successful and, while one has subsequently decided
not to pursue a research degree at this time, two further award holders have
since applied, raising the first round take-up for the School for 2003/2004 entry
to six. Encouragingly, the scholarship awards have reflected interest across all
major research groups in the School and represent a significant contribution to
the research strength. The IRCSET awards http://www.ircset.ie/
consist of a generous stipend, fees and some monies towards travel/bench fees. As such,
these are highly sought after and competition is tough. The School is pleased to
welcome the new Scholarship holders.
The limited second round call for these Scholarships closes on August 15th 2003.
Students with an excellent Honours degree at primary level, who are interested in
pursuing a research degree in the School of Computing, should avail of this opportunity
to secure funding. Information on research areas and staff interests within the School
is available at http://www.computing.dcu.ie/research
