Presentation
The application of new Computing Engineering technologies requires continuous improvement in industry. Current industrial environment demands for: (i) important expenses in technological innovation in these areas, (ii) a potential of improvement of industrial competitiveness due to the development of these technologies, (iii) great capabilities of collaboration among research centres and companies and (iv) the consideration as a priority technological area in the majority of developed countries. The main goal of this co-operation must be to obtain the highest efficiency in the transference of results to industrial tissue.
There are external determining factors which favours R&D activity in this area in the institutional and managerial context.
The Computing Technology Research Group of Computing Systems and Computation Dept. of Univ. Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) is a multi-disciplinar group. It is composed of 15 teachers organised into two specialised groups: Artificial Intelligence and Real-Time systems. We have experience in the transference of results to local, national and international industry.
The earliest research works of the group date from the begining of 1985, in the Industrial Computer Science Group. In 1986 this group was changed into an inter-departamental group. This group was called Computing Technology-Artificial Intelligence Research Group (GTI-IA) in the Computing Systems and Computation Dept.
The GTI-IA research group contributes with:
- Scientific production.
- Interaction with local, national and international industry.
- Continuous participation in competitive research projects.
- Continuous participation in european consortiums (companies and research centres).
- Important formative labour, with a significative research staff and grants.
- International presence through international organisms and program committees in journals and conferences.
- Capability to organise national and international events.
- Consolidated collaboration with several national and foreign universities.
- Participation in thematic european networks.
