Architecture and software decision tools based on constraints
This project aims to develop the architecture and software to embed constraint-based decision tools in successful commercial software. The project will also provide a platform for researchers to develop and integrate their ideas on constraint programming.
A Google Calendar Scheduler has been developed as a proof of concept.

Enterprise Modeling and Performance Optimization for SME's
The objective of the project is to develop an integrated Enterprise Modelling and Performance Optimisation tool for Small and Medium Enterprises. This decision support tool will take an enterprise model and through analysis and supply chain knowledge, transform it into an optimisation model. From this, a scheduling engine will run and identify the risk/rewards of the enterprise in terms of its key performance indicators

Conversational Recommender System for Configurable Products
Recommender systems help their users to decide which products, services or information to purchase or consume. They are important components of many ecommerce and m-commerce systems. Research and development to-date has, to a great extent, focused on recommending "ready-made" products (ones that are bought "off-the-shelf", "as is"). Examples are package holidays, pre-configured computing equipment, etc. This project researches a new generation of recommender systems. Firstly, the systems we will investigate will be capable of recommending configurable products (ones that are "tailor-made", assembled from sub-components). Examples are bespoke travel and bespoke computing systems. Secondly, they will support a richer mode of human-computer interaction, based on mixed-initiative conversation
