Current Research Projects

Title: Autonomous Modular Reconfigurable Hardware
Name: Ian Colwill
A flexible hardware platform based in reconfigurable logic as apposed to a conventional static microprocessor. The system uses autonomous hardware blocks to create a self managing, self optimising general purpose computer.

Title: Standard Vetronics Interface (SVI)
Name: Periklis Charchalakis & George Valsamakis
It is perceived that military Vetronic systems will predominantly be distributed real-time systems. The developed project, based on MilCAN, is a software-based Bridge with routing capabilities (BRouter), a custom Standard Network Interface (SNI) layer, and a remote configuration/monitoring utility. It uses Ethernet as a high-speed backbone.

Title: MPEG-4
Name: Xiadong Cai
MPEG provides a standardized way to describe, compress and stream synthetic and natural audio and visual objects in a scene. The MPEG4 related projects and research topics running mainly aim to support Internet multimedia applications, such as remote video surveillance management, videoconference, video-on-demand, audio-visual email, live television streaming, and in the field of Wireless multimedia applications such as embedded solution for wireless handsets, PDAs, PCs and set-top boxes.

Title: Bluetooth Ad-hoc networking for Inter-Vehicle communication
Name: Rohan Goonewardene & Arun Baburam
New technologies for both internal and external vehicle communication are emerging for real time safety critical systems as well as entertainment, and wireless communication for remote user application in the local and wide area. By incorporating these technologies into the vehicle new and innovative functions can be provided to the passengers. The research aims to provide seamless integration of these different functional units in the in-vehicle network. Inter-vehicle communication is also being considered by using wireless technology (in particular Bluetooth) for high mobility Ad-hoc networking.
