CSR's function is translational, using our research expertise to inform industry. It organises industrially relevant conferences such as Ada UK and holds numerous tutorials and workshops tailored specially to the requirements of industry (e.g. one on safety aspects of the NHS National Programme for IT).
DI is an important research enabler, providing flexible, responsive resources for research demands and allowing expertise to reach other disciplines. DI also provides specialist resources and supports and funds a number of priming activities. DI's resources include a Virtual Reality (VR) suite facility, high performance computing and a large-scale database supported by £1.5M of SRIF funds.
It also has space in the SRIF funded (£3.2M) Culture Lab completed in 2006, where ubiquitous computing systems can be developed and evaluated in a specially constructed, technology-enriched environment. The DI also provides specialist research programming support in ubiquitous computing and VR. These resources act as 'glue' for connecting a variety of disciplines with computing science, forging new links and providing drivers for innovative research areas.
CCCS carries out research and education to make the Internet safer for families, businesses and organisations. The CCCS team brings together police officers and research scientists to identify future modes of cybercrime and to design innovative, sustainable solutions.
