          Abstract

          This presentation will introduce  a  newly-formed  unit  at  UBC,
          whose  purpose  is  to  facilitate  and  coordinate activities in
          computer-based research areas. CICSR (pronounced ``Caesar'')  has
          affiliated  faculty members from the Departments of Computer Sci-
          ence, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.  Colla-
          borative research is encouraged, as well as external liaison with
          industrial firms and government agencies. The Centre has recently
          been  funded  through  the BC Government's Fund for Excellence in
          Education, and is  actively  seeking  research-oriented  faculty.
          Special  funds are also available for graduate students, faculty,
          and visitors through the BC Advanced Systems Institute.
