Centre for Intelligent Systems and their Applications

The Research @ National e-Science Centre is a new addition to CISA. Our mission is to advance methods that harness distributed data and computation in collaborative environments. Our goal is to support the life cycle of data to information and to knowledge in a multi-disciplinary and multi-organisational context. To achieve this, we pursue research in e-Science and Informatics and apply our ideas in several scientific and industrial domains.

AIAI CISA’s Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute is a world-leading knowledge transfer and research centre, specialising in intelligent systems, planning and workflow, intelligent virtual worlds, collaborative and bioinformatics systems.

Open Knowledge was funded by EU. It developes innovative peer-to-peer platform technologies for distributed systems. It provides standard agent wrappers and interaction protocols underpinned by formal process logics. These technologies are applied to many different application domains, e.g. proteomics, astrophysics, emergency response, clinical protocol systems, healthcare delivery and trading over grid services.
