Applied Computing Research Group (ACRG)
Introduction
Welcome to the Applied Computing Research Group (ACRG) within the School of Computing & Mathematical Sciences in Liverpool John Moores University.
The research group was established in 2010 and is headed by Dr Dhiya Al-Jumeily. The group's primary focus is the application of computing through research and industrial projects. The ACRG looks to acheive this with two main strands: to further the school's research and teaching expertise in Software Engineering, and the application of software and hardware solutions to a variety of domains from commercial and industrial solutions to experimental evaluation.
Our research themes include:
- Software Engineering
- Distributed Software Engineering
- Application of Graph Theory to large-scale datasets
- Teaching challenges, including real-world projects as a teaching aid
- Embedded and Low-Power Systems
- Software Development challenges in alternate architectures and heavily resource-constrained systems
- "Green" Computing
- Applications in education
- Application in health monitoring and analysis (E-Health)
- Sense augmentation and enhancement
The group has used a number of real-world projects as teaching and teaching support tools; selected undergraduate students are involved in a variety of development roles on commercial projects. This provides useful and relevant experience to our students and helps, along with other school initiatives to ensure our technologies are up-to-date and teaching practices relevant.
