• Middleware Research Group

welcome to the homepage of the networks and systems laboratory in the school of information technologies at the university of sydney australia. this laboratory covers a range of areas relevant to the realisation of future information networks:

- network layer aspects such as message delivery systems, multicast message delivery protocols, active networks; architectural aspects for managing media of the future; resource management, especially fairsharing approaches;

- personalisation to provide user-adapted and user-aware systems involving aspects such as user modeling, scrutable user-adapted systems, customisation of multimedia based on user models and user model based agents for filtering;

- intelligent, personalised teaching system, with particular concern for support of learner reflection and focused in two domains, the teaching aspects of computer science that are core to building internet technology and in teaching medicine, especially those aspects which will be well supported by a smart internet.

these elements all play a role in a major project of the group which is based upon an architecture for managing media of the future. they also operate as a unified approach to teaching innovation, informed by research both in computer science education and innovative application of it to education. the group has a strong track record of innovative deployed research.
