IT Innovation Centre is the applied research centre of the University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science. Our mission is to help industry, commerce and the public sector gain maximum benefit from advances in digital technology. We listen to our partners’ requirements then draw on our breadth of experience to design innovative service paradigms, information architectures and interaction modalities that deliver real and lasting benefit.

We also look further ahead, envisioning how new and emerging technologies will impact the world we live in and the fundamental changes they will bring. We present the results of our work as software demonstrators, white papers, confidential reports and targeted academic publications. T Innovation is represented on the NESSI steering committee and is an active partner in the NEM technical platform. Our collaborative R&D portfolio includes numerous high-impact EC- and UK-supported projects, ranging in application from the creative industries to manufacturing, engineering and science. We also provide professional services including customer-specific and commercially confidential research and development, consultancy and technology due diligence.

 

Our work with the film and television industries represents collaboration with major studios, national broadcasters and production centres and covers the entire production workflow, from pre-production planning, through production and post-production, to archive management and long-term content preservation.
The Centre has extensive and world-class expertise in Grids, Service Oriented Architectures and security, and has been involved in key European projects over the past decade. These include GRIA (which produced the first Grid middleware designed from the start for commercial inter-enterprise service provision), and more recently SIMDAT (industrial applications), NextGRID (dynamic service provision), BREIN (business flexibility), edutain@Grid (real-time applications), BRIDGE (interoperability) and SERSCIS (resilient secure information system infrastructures). These projects all feed into our widely adopted open source GRIA software (www.gria.org), a service-oriented infrastructure (SOI) designed to support B2B collaborations through service provision across organisational boundaries in a secure, interoperable and flexible manner.
