We are happy to welcome Research Group on Development of Intelligent Environments at Middlesex University to the NCSH network!
What is the focus of Research Group on Development of Intelligent Environments?
"
The aim of our group is to advance the scientific understanding of the challenges associated with developing Intelligent Environments. By Intelligent Environment we mean “… one in which the actions of numerous networked controllers (controlling different aspects of an environment) is orchestrated by self-programming pre-emptive processes (e.g., intelligent software agents) in such a way as to create an interactive holistic functionality that enhances occupants experiences.”(1)
We do more fundamental research, for example in Context-awareness, and also in applied areas, such as Smart Homes, Ambient Assisted Living, and Smart Cities. We do all of these from Person-Centric Computing perspective. One of our areas of emphasis is in relation to health and well-being where we have conducted various projects, some funded by UK/EU programmes.
