BACKGROUND:

The School is very strong in multi-disciplinary research, which
complements our underlying research in foundational aspects of
computing. We have close contacts with the end users of computer and
information systems through many collaborative programmes with partners
elsewhere in the University and in other national and international
institutes. Our research programme is focused in five areas:

· Computer Vision and Language (computer vision, natural language
processing)

· Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (knowledge/information
integration, program analysis, qualitative and spatial reasoning)

· Multi-disciplinary Informatics (biosystems, e-science, networking ,
virtual working environments, virtual environments, transport
informatics and scheduling)

· Scientific Computation and Visualization (computational PDEs graphics
and visualization, parallel algorithms)

· Theoretical Computer Science (algorithms and complexity, formal
methods, safety-related systems).

Members of the School participate in a number of interdisciplinary
research institutes and centres within the University: for example,
· Centre for the Computer Analysis of Language and Speech
· Centre for Computational Geography
· Centre for Computational Fluid Dynamics
· Centre of Medical Imaging Research
· Institute for Transport Studies
· Keyworth Institute for Manufacturing and Information Systems
Engineering
· Centre for Virtual Working Systems
· Informatics Research Network
