The Max Planck Institute for Informatics (German: ''Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik'', abbreviated ''MPI-INF'' or ''MPII'') is a research institute in computer science with a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense. It hosts fundamental research (algorithms and complexity, programming logics) as well a research for various application domains (computer graphics, geometric computation, constraint solving, computational biology). It is part of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Germany's largest society for fundamental research. The research institutes of the Max Planck Society have a national and international reputation as “Centres of Excellence” for pure research. The institute consists of five departments and two research groups: * The Algorithms and Complexity Department is headed by Kurt Mehlhorn, * The Computer Vision and Multimodal Computing Department is headed by Bernt Schiele, * The Department Computational Biology and Applied Algorithmics is headed by Thomas Lengauer, * The Computer Graphics Department is headed by Hans-Peter Seidel * The Databases and Information Systems Department is headed by Gerhard Weikum * Research Group Automation of Logic is headed by Christoph Weidenbach * The Independent Research Group Computational Genomics and Epidemiology is headed by Alice McHardy. Previously, it included the following departments: * The Programming Logics Department was headed by Harald Ganzinger (died June 3, 2004) Members of the institute have received various awards. Kurt Mehlhorn (in 1986) and Hans-Peter Seidel (in 2003) received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, Kurt Mehlhorn (in 1995) and Thomas Lengauer (in 2003) received the Konrad-Zuse-Medal, and in 2004 Harald Ganzinger received the Herbrand Award. The institute, along with the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the entire Computer Science department of Saarland University, is involved in the Internationales Begegnungs- und Forschungszentrum für Informatik. The International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science (IMPRS-CS) is the graduate school of the MPII and the MPI-SWS. It was founded in 2000 and offers a fully funded PhD-Program in cooperation with Saarland University. Dean is Gerhard Weikum. == See also == * Max Planck Institute for Software Systems * YAGO (database) (developed at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Planck Institute for Informatics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
