WASP -- Web Agent Support Program

10. Collaboration of Subdisciplines in Computer science

This project is a collaboration between the Software Engineering section of the VU (SE/VU), the Artificial Intelligence section of the VU (AI/VU) and the Information Systems section of the TUE (IS/TUE). All three participants are member of the SIKS school of research. As member of SIKS, the participating sections share common research interests. The WASP project provides an opportunity for us to collaborate on a theme of mutual interest and allows us to profit from the wide range of non-overlapping expertise available.

Apart from pure computer science the WASP project involves research in human-computer interaction, in which a lot of expertise is available at the IPO institute at the TUE. The selection of relevant information is also related to the field of Library and Information Sciences. Dr. P.M.E. De Bra is a part-time professor in the Library and Information Sciences group at the University of Antwerp, and can draw expertise from that group into the project as needed.
