Securing, interfacing, modelling and engineering systems of tomorrowIn their short history, computers have evolved from mainframes, through minicomputers, to networked desktops, and then via the web and wireless networks, to mobiles and ubiquitous computing, where information systems are always on and always available.
These latest transitions raise special challenges for tomorrow's systems: we need new ways of securing, interfacing, modelling and engineering them. These challenges are reflected in SICSA's research themes which are, the Next Generation Internet, Multimodal Interaction, Modelling and Abstraction and Complex Systems Engineering. As the Internet evolves towards ubiquity, research targets include security and trust, programmability, manageability, and mobility.
Theme leader: Prof Saleem Bhatti, University of St Andrews Deputy theme leaders: Dr Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews; Dr Mahesh Marina, University of Edinburgh; Dr Colin Perkins, University of Glasgow

Multimodal InteractionTheme leaders: Prof Stephen Brewster, University of Glasgow and Prof Johanna D Moore, University of Edinburgh
If you would like to be kept up to date with research developments and events, please join the theme mailing list. | Processing ever-larger volumes of data raises new challenges in the development and use of predictive models of complex systems of interacting elements.
