The Data Sciences & Knowledge Discovery Research Lab (the “Smart Lab”) aims to foster both theoretical and practical innovation and applications in areas of machine learning, data mining and knowledge discovery, data sciences and engineering, behaviour informatics, and agent-mining interaction and integration. The objective of the Smart Lab is to develop Smart methodologies, techniques and tools for Smart businesses and decision-making in various domains. Key research areas:
Data Mining Foundations, Data Sciences and Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, Behaviour Informatics and Analytics, Agents and Data Mining Interaction, and Applied Intelligent Information Processing and Systems.
Main application domains include: smart-finance for capital market trading, smart-surveillance for capital market surveillance, smart-security for national security and crime analysis, smart-government for government allowances and services, smart-commerce for online business security and recommendation, smart-insurance for health insurance risk analysis, and smart business and smart decision-making for other areas.
Decision Systems and e-Service Intelligence. Download a one-page information sheet on the “Decision Systems and e-Service Intelligence” laboratory here (.pdf format 224 KB).
The Decision Systems and e-Service Intelligence Laboratory focuses on the development of theories, methods, software tools and applications in the areas of decision support systems, computational intelligence, uncertain information processes and e-service intelligence. Key research areas:
Fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making; bi-level decision-making; fuzzy optimisation under uncertain information; cognitive decision analysis; soft-computing; early warning systems; situation awareness; emergence management and risk analysis; e-business intelligence systems; e-government service integration and personalisation; recommendation systems; and web intelligence.
Application domains include: organisational decision-making; material, product, and service evaluations; social crisis prediction and early warning; and resource management and planning.
Our primary objective is to understand the process of innovation and the role of information technology and the law in the adoption of innovative and entrepreneurial practice. Emerging intelligent technologies have extraordinary potential for enhancing business competitiveness, business performance, and business innovation. Key research areas:
Strategic management, privacy, cognitive agents, decision making, treasury risk management, global business, logic-based artificial intelligence, strategic business innovation and collaboration, innovation management, intellectual property law, and the blending of information technology and business strategy.
Application domains include: Business strategy, Knowledge Management, Financial Services and Robotics.
This laboratory develops infrastructure for building intelligent systems from intelligent components. Key research areas:multiagent systems, negotiation, kernel methods, bioinformatics, programming language design, pattern matching calculi
Application domains: electronic markets, eHealth, generic web services.

The purpose of the Quantum Computation Laboratory is to study theoretical questions arising in this field and to further explore its power from the viewpoint of theoretical computer science and classical information theory. Three topics of great interest are as follows:
* Theoretical foundations of quantum computation.
* Basic information processing problems in quantum information theory.
* Understanding entanglement as a resource and developing a quantitative theory about entanglement.
