 Reliable Software Systems (RSS)
The Reliable Software Systems (RSS) research theme aims at addressing the great challenge of how to deliver complex and large-scale software systems that are tested and reliable. Software has become a necessity in almost every aspect of the daily lives of individuals and organisations, from self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices (mobile phones, cars, aeroplanes, heart pacemakers, etc). A large proportion of these systems are mission/life-critical. Our RSS theme involves inter-disciplinary research collectively carried out by the research groups contributing their core research capabilities in different disciplines and research areas to RSS, as shown in the above table.
Service Oriented Computing (SOC)
The Service Oriented Computing (SOC) research theme focuses on a new emerging paradigm for distributed computing and e-business processing. It treats individual ICT systems and software components as independent services geared for integration, and uses them as fundamental elements to build agile networks of collaborating service applications distributed within and across organisational boundaries. As such, it enables seamless communications and interactions within businesses, between businesses, between businesses and customers, and between individuals. The CITR Research Programs contribute their core research capabilities in different disciplines and research areas to SOC, as shown in the above table.
Intelligent Computing (IC)
Intelligent Computing (IC) aims at developing computational, social and interactive systems that exhibit aspects of intelligent behaviour. Such intelligent systems are built using methods and techniques derived from classical artificial intelligence, evolutionary and adaptive computing, bio-inspired computing, computational intelligence, multi-agent systems and advanced human computer interaction. Sample application areas of IC include optimisation, planning, scheduling, resource allocation, pattern recognition, data mining, networked and distributed system management, virtual environments and computer supported co-operative work in business, enterprise and engineering domains.
