who we are
The Cooperative Systems Engineering Group (CSEG) researches into all aspects of Systems Engineering and Cooperative Systems. Our work ranges from fundamental research in cooperative working through systems requirements engineering and systems development techniques to innovative ways of interacting with computer systems.

working together
We are internationally unique in that we include researchers in both CSCW and software systems engineering and have developed strong links with the Sociology Department at Lancaster University.

working with others
The group takes an inter-disciplinary perspective and works closely with other university departments and with industry. We are involved in two interdisciplinary research collaborations; one  in ubiquitous computing and the other in system dependability.

what we do
Members of the group have an extensive range of interests including: 
  • Ubiquitous computing 
  • Cooperative virtual environments 
  • Innovative interaction devices 
  • Computer-support for cooperative work 
  • Collaborative browsing 
  • Cooperative information sharing 
  • Aspect-Oriented and Component-based software engineering 
  • Object-oriented database systems 
  • Software system evolution 
  • System dependability 
  • Requirements engineering 
  • Social and human factors in software engineering
