Hard to say. I didn't stay long enough to learn the ins-and-outs, but the impression I got way back when was more that the business school had a computer program and that the engineering school had a computer program but there was no actual "computer science" or College of Mathematics computer program or centralized offices.
I know that UNF was playing around with some experimental massively-parallel hardware some time back, that FSU (forgot about them!) has had some supercomputers (I believe they use them for magnetics research and hurricane predictions), but I never heard anything about what sort of advanced R&D UF might be doing. Certainly I don't seem to have run across much in the way of academic papers coming from UF. UCF cheats. The Association for Computing Machinery likes to hold Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings in Orlando, but I think a lot of that is an excuse to visit Mickey. Still, UCF does host these things and often presents papers. A one-time UCF student - Holger Cruze - wrote the commercial tcp/ip stack product for the Commodore Amiga (Termite). I also got a real kick one day walking down the halls of the UCF CompSci building when I recognized one of the names on the office doors. It was the author of my favorite book on combinatorial algorithms.
