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
Wi-Fi transmission can consume much energy even when it has no data packet to receive or transmit. Standard power saving mode (PSM) has been used to save energy but under PSM a station cannot achieve satisfactory performance when traffic pattern changes frequently. Now that more and more mobile devices have been equipped with multiple wireless interfaces, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee, we proposed and implemented a ZigBee-assisted power saving management (ZPSM) scheme, which wakes up Wi-Fi interface on-demand to increase energy efficiency and reduce delay time. Experiments have shown that ZPSM can achieve both energy efficiency and low packet delivery delay for stations, and the scheme is feasible to implement in resource constrained mobile devices.
