As systems based on human-agent collectives grow in scale, complexity and temporal extent, we will increasingly require a principled science that allows us to reason about the computational and human aspects of these systems if we are to avoid developments that are unsafe, unreliable and lack the appropriate
ICIF will create a shared, facilitated learning environment in which social scientists, engineers, industrialists, policy makers and other stakeholders can research and learn together to understand how better to exploit the technical and market opportunities that emerge from the increased interdependence of infrastructure systems.
The ISDM project is an EPSRC-funded Knowledge Transfer Secondment (KTS) that builds on a partnership between the School of Electronics and Computer Science and Hampshire County Council. The project aims to exploit the key outputs of the highly acclaimed ALADDIN project. In particular, the ISDM project aims to upgrade
This project dealt with the application of decentralised data and information systems to disaster management. A number of key algorithms and mechanisms were developed to solve for coordination and information problems that arise in dynamic and uncertain environments.
The project dealt with the issue of minimising intrusiveness on meetings. Our part of the project involved the use of agent-based mechanisms to minimise the impact of external messages on meeting through some multi-party negotiation mechanism. Both simulated and physical implementations of the system were designed.
