Aladdin

The ALADDIN project is an award winning multi-million pound multi-disciplinary research project funded by a BAE Systems and EPSRC strategic partnership. It involves a number of leading research groups from Imperial College London, University of Southampton, University of Bristol, and Oxford University.

The project is concerned with developing mechanisms, architectures, and techniques to deal with the dynamic and uncertain nature of distributed and decentralised intelligent systems. Disaster management is the chosen application domain as the world faces an urgent need for better means to deal with such situations where a number of actors have to coordinate their activities when facing significant degrees of uncertainty and where the context is very dynamic.

The project has now come to an end and has led to a new follow-on project called the ORCHID project.
