The design and application of information technologies for a wide range of sectors – from manufacturing to aerospace and defense and transportation to computing and software – is the focus of this research theme. Projects address such challenges as how to increase the efficiency of chemical production processes, where to situate distribution facilities and equipment to better serve customer demand and how to develop new decision-making systems for airlines which take into account fuel costs, flight paths and aircraft availability.
