Research, Teaching, and Advising

A Statement of My Current Research, Teaching, and Advising

Wen-Chen Hu, Department of Computer Science, University of North Dakota

Handheld computing is the next milestone of computer science because global shipments of smartphones will reach 1 billion by 2012 according to Canalys, a market research company. Use mobile handheld devices to access the World Wide Web, which now holds more than 1 trillion URLs covering almost all daily issues, is the trend of web browsing. The Web's fast growing size and lack of structural style also present a new challenge for information retrieval. My research areas are on the web technologies, handheld computing, and database systems including:
  1. Web information retrieval: With that size of web data, it is virtually impossible to manage the Web with the traditional computer technologies. Therefore, how to effectively and efficiently retrieve information from the Web becomes a major research topic.

  2. Mobile commerce systems: Mobile commerce is a mobile version of electronic commerce. A mobile commerce system is defined as the exchange or buying and selling of commodities, services, or information on the Internet through the use of mobile handheld devices.

  3. Handheld computing: Handheld computing is the programming for handheld devices, including (i) smart cellular phones and (ii) PDAs (personal digital assistants), and it can be divided into two kinds of programming:
    1. Client-side handheld programming: It is the development of software on handheld devices.
    2. Server-side handheld programming: It is the development of software for mobile handheld devices.

  4. Web data mining: Web usage mining is used to discover interesting user navigation patterns, which can be used to improve web sites, e.g. web site (re)organizing, user behavior studies, making additional topic or product recommendations, etc.
I am also interested in working on mobile and electronic commerce system construction. This construction involves a wide variety of computer techniques and knowledge which include web interface studies, web-enabled database construction, and various web programming languages and tools, for example, CGI, HTML, Java, Perl, PHP, WML, XML, etc. These areas are the most up-to-date research topics and I have published several articles for each area. I have published more than 80 refereed research papers, edited three books and proceedings of a conference, and solely authored a research book:
    Internet-enabled handheld devices, computing, and programming: mobile commerce and personal data applications
For academic advising, I have been advising more than 50 thesis/project graduate students. Most of my publications and students' theses/projects are in the above four areas. I strongly believe the educational experience of “learn by practicing.” All my classes and students have to do hands-on lab works and projects as well as subject studies. I have been teaching at the US universities for more than 10 years. The following list shows a range of courses being taught by me:
  1. COMP 6120 Database Systems I
  2. COMP 6210 Compiler Construction
  3. COMP 7120 Database Systems II
  4. COMP 8140 Advanced Document Analysis and Classification Systems
  5. CSci 250 Computer Organization and Programming
  6. CSci 260 Introduction to World Wide Web Programming
  7. CSci 351 Introduction to File Processing
  8. CSci 370 Computer Architecture
  9. CSci 399 Handheld Computing
  10. CSci 457 Electronic Commerce Systems
  11. CSci 513 Advanced Database Systems
  12. CSci 515 Data Engineering and Management
  13. CSci 532 Programming Languages and Paradigms
Most courses are related to databases and Web technologies.
