Laboratories with the IRC

There are four labs associated with the IRC:

The Futures Forum Research Group (FFR). The FFR group is a partnership between clients of Capgemini, enterprise architects and delivery solutions specialists from within Capgemini, and researchers at the University of Reading. Its work is co-ordinated by a management team representing Capgemini and the IRC.

The Intelligent Buildings Laboratory (IBL) aims to embrace the aresas of intelligent buildings, multi-agent systems, wireless sensor networks and building accessment in both academic research and industrial solutions.

The Applied Informatics with Semiotics (AIS) Laboratory, within the Informatics Research Centre (IRC), is built on research strengths in the areas of computing, information systems, IT for strategic purposes. We view a human organisation as an information system in which information is created, processed and used to achieve the organisation's objectives.

The Intelligent Buildings Research Group has the aims to research, teach, and develop the knowledge base for IBs nationally and internationally. In collaboration with industry, the MSc Intelligent Buildings course is to provide the skills necessary to meet changing environmental, business and human needs.
