About the Department

The ICS Department has over 30 faculty, over 60 graduate students, and over 400 undergraduate majors.

 

It was founded in the late 1960's by Norman Abramson (inventor of ALOHAnet, the precursor of Ethernet), W. Wesley Peterson (winner of the Japan Prize for his invention of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), David Pager (inventor of one of the earliest automated parsers for programming languages), Wilbert Gersch, and Art Lew.

 

In 1997, the School of Library and Information Studies merged with the ICS Department.

 

By 2003, the six degree programs associated with ICS accounted for a total of 888 majors, making ICS larger than the entire College of Engineering and the largest department in the University of Hawaii system.  ICS remains one of the largest departments at the University of Hawaii.

 

Today, the ICS Department continues to aggressively develop its role as a premier educational and research program in Information and Computer Science.
