Research

BU-ISIS

Bahria University - Integrated Scientific & Industrial Software

Computer has ushered a revolution in science and information technology. Tremendous progress has been made in computer hardware in terms of speed and memory. However the computer software has not kept pace with the hardware for its proper utilization. Some of the developing countries are playing a dynamic role in computer software development. Their achievements have become possible through the participation of giant industrial establishments with a large team of programmers and project managers. In this process they have established a basis for future technological revolution in their countries.

In Pakistan however an Infrastructure does not exist which could provide the basis for scientific and engineering software activities. In the series of conferences held in Pakistan, participants have pointed out the lack of government/private sector support in this area, together with the shortage of appropriate human resources.

Experts spoke about the poor quality of software product, which cannot be advocated in the international market.

There is a general consensus on the awareness that something should be done by professionals in public or private sectors to assess the role of this activity as a potential exchange, easier for the country and for opening up further avenues for the employment of professionals. With the view, Bahria University has decided to take an initiative in this area and move forward for the establishment of BU-ISIS.

Objectives of BU-ISIS:

• To establish the business of scientific and industrial software development and to contribute to the national economy.
• To promote the profile of local professionals, researchers and experts in the international market.
• To establish links and joint ventures with foreign and Pakistani companies for the promotion of Scientific & Industrial software development.
• To undertake projects from national and international clients and generate funds to augment research and development activities.
• To undertake projects from national and international clients and generate funds to augment research and development activities.
• To publish operating manuals, instruction guides and copyright activity for the software developed by the BU-ISIS.
• To provide testing and validation services including post design technical support.
• To conduct international seminars conferences and meetings in the relevant area of research.
• To identify and suggest cost-effective strategies which provide optimal utilization of available resources to local industries and scientific organizations.
