What facilities and technologies are available?
COMAND concentrates on the research and development of prospective interactive media technologies focusing on Augmenting User Interactions, End-to-end Applications and Intelligent Infrastructure. These technologies are complementary and will combine to create the opportunity for new and innovative forms of “connected media” (personalised, real-time interactive) applications in a wide range of commercial fields including telecoms, gaming, TV, e-health, e-learning, e-tourism, e-retailing, entertainment and digital marketing.
Augmented User Interaction
Immersive Interaction between users and technology in many applications areas such as health, education, tourism, manufacturing, gaming, entertainment and social computing.
End-to-end Applications
The footprint of a modern application is truly end-to-end, covering mobile & wearable elements, IoT devices & smart edge gateways, scalable & globally accessible cloud services. Applications have components running on Android, iOS, Windows and Linux. Microservices and serverless computing allow a modern application to scale from medium capacity to enterprise level automatically and predictably. A modern application ingests, filters and analyses vast amounts of data to extract business value and discover new disruptive markets.
Intelligent Infrastructures
Mobile, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) are fundamentally changing the way software is owned, distributed, operated and managed; at once creating opportunities but also new challenges. Infrastructure must adapt to load requirements by becoming application aware. Infrastructure resources must be allocated based on bandwidth, latency and context awareness requirements of hosted software. Infrastructure security must be based on an adaptive and context aware model to react to unknown threats in real-time.
