Welcome to the Centre for Intelligent Information Processing Systems

Associate Professor Thomas Bräunl Director of CIIPS ("Bräunl" is pronounced: "Broi-Nell")

In 1991 the Centre for Intelligent Information Processing Systems was established as a centre for excellence within the University of Western Australia by founding director Professor Yianni Attikiouzel. In 2003, Associate Professor Thomas Bräunl took over as director of CIIPS.

CIIPS today comprises a number of different research groups, covering all IT areas from software design, hardware design, intelligent systems, robotics, speech recognition and biomedical systems. Special emphasis is on engineering system design, developing complete working systems that are of interest for industrial applications.

The Centre combines an active teaching program with both pure and applied research to provide an environment in which innovative theoretical developments are rapidly implemented using current technologies to provide solutions to a range of real-world problems.
 

CIIPS has made significant advances in the development of novel intelligent

systems technologies and has earned recognition both nationally and internationally. For several year, we have participated in student exchange programs with a number of universities in Germany, France, and Norway. This has further strenghtened our links for international research cooperation. Strong and successful collaboration between CIIPS and industry is another key element in the long-term aims of the Centre.

A number of joint research projects with a number of Australian companies have been completed and others are currently in progress. In addition, the Centre carries out a substantial amount of research and development on a contract basis for a range of industrial companies, government research bodies and other organisations.
