  5. What’s going on? • How do we build and work with the systems of tomorrow? • Distributed, pervasive, varied … • sometimes big and powerful, sometimes small and low power • How can we “right-scale” in the petabyte age? • Securing, interfacing, modelling, engineering

  6. OK, how? • To help meet that challenge,we must sustain and enhanceScotland’s research excellencein Informatics and Computer Science. • We must collaborate to compete

  7. Can we build it? • 9% UK population • 20% UK research council computing grants • 19% UK’s top researchers (RAE2001) Scotland Rest of UK • More research is world class/internationally recognised • 71% in SICSA vs 63% in UK (RAE2008) • Unparalleled in the UK, European-leading, world class

  8. Can we build it? PhD Academic Research

  9. Who’s going to build it? Governing Board Research Committee Graduate Academy Advisory Committee Securing Interfacing Modelling Engineering • Practical networking • Performance analysis • Network security formalisms • Web languages • Computational group theory • System and performance modelling • Model checking • Applications • Socio-technical systems • Agents and autonomics • Complex interactions • Speech and language • HCI • Information retrieval • Machine learning

  10. Who’s going to build it? • SICSA is about people: • 4 themes for networking • 7 research fellows • 30 new academics • 60+ international visitors • 80 international students • You!
