Overview

AIAI applies knowledge-based approaches to support complex tasks making use of rich models of the user, task and domain.

AIAI's main technical themes are:

• Knowledge Management
• Planning and Activity Management
• Adaptive Systems
• New Ventures

AIAI also wishes to show the importance of the overlap between Process and Information Management, and the related support that can then be given to help users carry out tasks involving knowledge or information in an organisation in a cooperative working environment.

A common systems integration framework is adopted in a number of projects in which modular re-use of concepts and components is possible.

Further details of the Projects and Applications undertaken by the Institute are available. The following sections list details of technical skills that support the Institute's work with its clients.
