Computer Science—the theory, representation, processing, communication and use of information—is fundamentally transforming every aspect of human endeavor. The Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University advances computational and information sciences through; 1. educational and research programs within and beyond the university; 2. active engagement to help define national and international research, and 3. educational agendas, and sustained commitment to graduating leaders for academia, industry and government.
History
The Computer Science Department was officially established in 1969, with Robert Stewart serving as the founding Department Chair. Faculty were composed of joint appointments with Mathematics, Statistics, and Electrical Engineering. In 1969, the building which now houses the Computer Science department, then simply called the Computer Science building, was completed. Later it was named Atanasoff Hall. Throughout the 1980s to present, the department expanded and developed its teaching and research agendas to cover many areas of computing.

Abstract
Due to the increasing popularity of online social networking services, more and more people have been outsourcing their personal data to these service providers. Data privacy has gradually become a big concern. Decentralized social network proposed in recent researches has been a promising alternative. But there lacks an efficient system of decentralized social network with complete social networking functions. In this thesis, we design a new framework of decentralized social network and implement the prototype. Our experiments shows that our design protects data privacy as well as achieve communication efficiency.
