Srini Ramaswamy’s research interests are intelligent and flexible control systems, behavior modeling, analysis and simulation, and software stability and scalability, particularly in the design and development of better software systems for real-time control issues in manufacturing and other distributed, real-time applications. His work is motivated by his desire to understand the various requirements for building scalable, intelligent software systems with the inherent ability to successfully respond to observed and reported behavioral changes in their operating environment. He has actively consulted on the design, development, and implementation of a knowledge capture, classification, and mining project with eFutureKnowledge, Inc. and on a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-sponsored Advanced Technology Program (ATP) project on intelligent document analysis.

He is currently a professor and the chairperson of the computer science department at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Previously, he was the chairperson of the computer science department at Tennessee Tech University (TTU), where he established a unique graduate program in Internet-based computing. At TTU, he also established the Software Automation and Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL), an academic research and development facility with a focus on team-based software research and development, to serve local and regional industries.

In 2006 and 2007, Ramaswamy has been an invited visiting research professor at the LITIS laboratory at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Rouen, France. During the summers of 2003 and 2004, he was a visiting research professor of computer science at the Institute of Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) at Vanderbilt University. In 1994 and 1995, and subsequently during the summer months of 1996 and 1998, he was a post-doctoral research fellow/visiting scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, where he helped with research efforts on sensible agents.

Ramaswamy earned his PhD degree in computer science in 1994 from the Center for Advanced Computer Studies (CACS) at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery, the Society for Computer Simulation International, Computing Professionals for Social Responsibility, and a senior member of the IEEE.
