Our research approach is experimental and we implement systems in order to test and evaluate our approach. We have knowledge within the broad field of net-centric research and system development, distributed multimedia, internet and web technology, databases, distributed GIS, wireless sensors, mobile computing and middleware.

We advocate free open source software, and make our software available as such if possible.

The ICT department conducts research and development projects for industry, government, research councils, and international customers. We cooperate with partners from most European countries in international projects funded by various research and development programs of the European Union. In 2009 more than a third of our turnover will be from international sources.
