Data and Complex Systems Research Centre - Department of Computer Science

The research centre has been formed to support the development of an environment of international excellence in the areas of computer and data science with a particular emphasis on data analytics, data representation and visualisation; interoperable and interconnected distributed technologies and smart infrastructures; AI and robotics, future internet, cloud computing, IoTs and other disruptive services and technologies. The research centre is structured into three high-level themes: Modelling, Analysis and Visualisation.

Modelling

The theme currently focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas:

Areas	Members
Data Modelling Multi-Agent Systems Software/ Network Modelling Cognitive Processes Human Interactions Social Processes Smart Cities	Dr Junyuan Wang (Theme Leader) Professor Ella Pereira Dr Mark Liptrott Dr Peter Matthew

Analysis

The theme aims to promote and shape research relevant to data collection, transfer, storage and processing. It focusses on developing application-driven methods, algorithms and protocols that enable efficient data transfer and curation.
