A five year UK project has predicted the way humans will interact with computers.
“Instead of issuing instructions to passive machines, we will increasingly work in partnership with ‘agents’: highly interconnected computational components that are able to act autonomously and intelligently, forming human-agent collectives [HACs],” said the University of Southampton, which...
A £10million project has been set up to find ways in which computers can work intelligently in partnership with people has been set up by the EPSRC. This could support the management of some of today’s most challenging situations, such as the aftermath of major disasters and smart energy systems.

ORCHID Researchers have been providing crucial support and expertise to the emergency response efforts in Nepal, following the devastating earthquakes that have hit the country in the past few weeks.
The ORCHID project, a collaboration between the universities of Southampton, Oxford and Nottingham, have worked with Rescue Global, an international...
Very soon after the recent magnitude-7.8 earthquake in Nepal, we were contacted by multiple groups involved in directly responding with aid and rescue teams, asking if we could assist in the efforts getting underway to crowdsource the mapping of the region. One of those groups was Rescue Global, an independent...
Davide Zilli from Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) has been named the winner of the 2015 Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT®).
Using just one PowerPoint slide and no additional props or electronic media, postgraduate researcher Davide had just three minutes to present his research. Davide’s research is focused on looking for...
Davide Zilli from Electronics and Computer Science has won silver and Agnieszka Dzielendziak from Engineering and Environment, has taken the Bronze in the Engineering category of the SET for BRITAIN competition.
Davide was awarded the silver medal and £2,000 prize for his work on developing a mobile phone app that can...
