Current projects

Examples of projects and on-going research in which members of this research group are involved include:

• MINE; Methodologies for Interactive Networked Enterprises. The aims of the network are to unify forces on critical targets for Information System researchers in co-evolving environment of Semantic Web and Enterprises.
• Transfer - Study on challenges in co-operation between systems development and operations. (In Co-operation with NHH - Jon Iden and UiB - prof. Bjørnar Tessem.)
