Smart Systems Theme Brochure

Smart Systems Theme Brochure (PDF, 253kB)

The Smart Systems Research Theme is one of the four Themes in the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering.  Smart Systems refers to a user-oriented approach that departs from traditional systems by being oriented towards problem solving rather than traditional process automation.  This approach integrates concept, design and new technologies to boost industry productivity and efficiency in our economy as well as improving the way we live.

Researchers in Smart Systems carry out their investigations within the areas of:

  • Reliability and Integrity of Infrastructure
  • Information Processing
  • Control Systems and Embedded Technologies
  • Robotics and Automation, including Avionics

The Smart Systems Research Theme Director is Professor Prasad KDV Yarlagadda.
