iLab is an interdisciplinary information science research group investigating arising socio-techno phenomena and evolving information behaviour.   In pursuit of a literate and informed society, much of our work is societal in nature, investigating human information need and use, and informing future interactive public information system service design.  Holistic in perspective, our work is theoretically underpinned by shared interests in information retrieval, information seeking behaviour, and information architecture.  Working closely with industry and the Library & Information Science profession, we have active research partnership agreements with a number of public sector organisations, and are members of the ESRC Information Science Pathway Doctoral Training Centre, and the AHRC Information Science Doctoral Scheme Consortium.

The research of the Software Systems Group falls into two broad themes. The first is centred around supporting the construction and analysis of complex software-based systems - an extremely challenging activity that requires the development of sophisticated tools, techniques and evaluation mechanisms. The second focuses on the challenges of engineering mobile and distributed systems that rely on large amounts of globally distributed data but run on small portable computing devices.

The Global and Mobile Dataflow Systems Research Group works with dataflow applications, applications which typically have many clients, clients operate within a large or complex geographical domain and have large volumes of data flowing among clients. The group's research includes research on Programming languages, semistructured data, network architectures and autonomous control systems.

The Mobiquitous Lab

Computing is not restricted to desktop computers and graphical user interfaces any more. The Mobiquitous Lab investigates user behavior in the context of mobile devices, ubiquitous computing, and new developing multimodal interaction mechanisms, such as multi-touch tables and tangible interaction.
