This group of researchers aim to make advances in research on aspects of database, artificial Intelligence, modelling and software adaptivity. Contributions have been made in new directions, both in the development of the theory and technology and in the exploration of opportunities and challenges.

We carry out original research and/or applications in the areas of distributed databases, data mining, reasoning under uncertainty, scheduling and optimisation, adaptive software and environmental modelling. Collaborative opportunities for work with other research groups the school are actively sought. The staff have developed strong links with other academic disciplines, for example Psychology, Sociology, Medicine and Engineering, and with a wide range of industrial collaborators and users.
