Projects

BEACONING

The goal of the project is to create a platform of pervasive games, that can transmit educational content in the most opportune moments to students, based on the philosophy Anytime, anyplace. Pervasive games extend the gaming world to the surrounding environment, which can be a classroom, the student home or the city where he lives in. It will be developed a platform to automatically generate mobile applications with pervasive games, according to the description made by the teachers themselves, who launch challenges and questions to the students, and that integrates itself with the instruments and educational services that exist in the organizations participating in the project. To test BEACONING, it will be implemented, in 2017, large scale systems in Greece, Turkey, France, Israel and Romania, each one involving hundreds of students and professionals in Europe, assuring both an exploration and a business plan to adopt this platform.

Centres

Human-Centered Computing and Information Science

The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
