Neural network approaches to data mining, pattern recognition and natural language processing; cognitive science and user modelling; virtual learning environments; and the modal learning approach to neural computing.
Build a centralised management system that encapsulates the core aspects of the business, accommodates the raising requirements of business growth, enables the expansion of operations into European markets and creates a stable platform to which advanced business modules can be added.
Applications of intelligent systems techniques to bioinformatics. Use of neural networks to predict and analyse membrane proteins in the proteome.
Fractal computing methods for information security, covert communications, data mining and bioinformatics.
Geospatial interpolation of accumulated temperature using ensembles of artificial neural networks. Use of ensembles of neural nets to investigate the effectiveness of combining optimised nets in interpolating measures of accumulated temperature.
User modelling and intelligent agents in user interface design. 2. Advanced mobile technology and its applications (i.e. in-door positioning, pervasive computing). 3. Advanced Web technology and its applications (i.e. e-commerce, CMS, semantic Web).
Database performance, parallel distributed systems, and agent based approach for building data warehousing.
Applications of intelligent systems techniques to semantic web, web services, linguistic thesaurus, WordNet., e-commerce, web software architectures and web applications.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) generalization, Location-Based Service (LBS), mobile computing.
Genetic algorithms, genetic programming and other techniques for evolutionary computation and adaptive search; also neural computation and numerical modelling.
Data and knowledge representation and modelling, including the use of mature techniques in new contexts (such as Petri nets and data flow diagrams, Karnaugh maps for decision making, and JSP for modelling user interaction).
Fostering multi and visual literacies in online collaborative learning environments. Research into how student-created multimedia can be used for peer teaching and learning.
Application of data mining in the telemonitoring and control of wastewater treatment plants. A neural network model of the hydrodynamical flow in the river Medway estuary and its confluence with the river Thames.
