Computational Systems
The proposal is to establish a centre of excellence in computational science and informatics in the North East of Scotland, combining the complementary strengths existing within the Department of Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen (UoA), the Division of Applied Computing at the University of Dundee (UoD), and the School of Computing, at the Robert Gordon University (RGU). The proposed institute will deliver world-class research and technology transfer in a number of strategic areas likely to impact on the Scottish economy. It will have sufficient critical mass to compete with leading centres in Europe and North America.
Strategic case
Our case is based on the potential of a group of high quality researchers focussed into a number of sub-areas representing strength in depth. Existing activities at each of the partner institutions complement each other well providing us with an opportunity to create a research institute focussed on three critical areas of contemporary computer science: mobile, distributed and networked computation; the interface between humans and information technology; the role of intelligent systems within knowledge management and decision support.
Aims of the proposed JRI
The institute will perform basic and applied research in the following areas:
