The Information Management Group has four major themes: Database Engineering and Interoperable
Systems, Information System Engineering, Educational Technologies, Business Informatics, and Digital
Multimedia (incorporating the Centre for Digital Video Processing).

• The Database Engineering and Interoperable Systems researchers develop formal and informal models for constructing database systems, and construct interoperable layers between heterogeneous information systems.
• Information System Engineering research focuses on models and methodologies for increasing the value of data in information-intensive and networked economies.
• Business Informatics research focuses on models and methodologies for increasing the value of data in informationintensive and networked economies. Educational Technologies research is currently focused on the improvement of the use of ICT in higher education through Action Research. In the area of Sensor Web, CLARITY is involved in research and development.
