Research Groups
The following groups are formed by like-minded academic staff, students, groups from overseas, to explore problems in various research domains. Brief introductions and links to their homepages are provided here.
Subject areas of the Communication and Information Technology Research (CITR) group are (in alphabetic order) communication theory, image technology (computer vision, visualisation etc.), information technology, internet-based applications, and robotics (active intelligent vision, embedded systems etc.). The group is basically responsible for the BTech (IT) program, and students contribute to research activities. CITR provides a place for regular contacts (seminars, meetings, or even international conferences). CITR enjoys collaboration with the New Zealand IT industry and is continuosly interested in defining new projects for 4th year BTech (IT) students (one-year projects). CITR is active in international collaboration and maintains several research projects with partners in overseas.
The CITR group also publishes Research Reports that are available for download in pdf format.
The ISI group focusses on various aspects of artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and informatics:
- automated planning
- case-based reasoning
- data mining and machine learning
- informed search algorithms
- intelligent information retrieval through the internet
- multi-agent systems and softbots
- AI in health informatics, image analysis, computer games, etc.
Research in the University of Auckland Software Engineering group focuses on how to analyse, design, build, test, and maintain safe and reliable software systems. The members of the group work on a very broad research base which includes embedded and real-time systems, communications, robotics, databases, software design techniques, user interfaces and human-computer interaction, distributed systems engineering, software measurement and quality, software testing, software processes, requirements engineering, software tools, formal methods in software engineering, and the theoretical underpinnings of software engineering.
Theory Group

This research group has a wide range of interests: automata theory, computational biology, computational complexity, computability and randomness, design and analysis of algorithms, unconventional models of computation, combinatorics and logic.
The theory group (with strong ties to the CDMTCS) also publishes Research Reports that are available for download in pdf format.
