CETINIA - URJC

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) is a young public University with several campuses in the greater Madrid area, whose mission is to foster innovative research and high-quality education in one of Spain’s fastest-growing regions. The Centre for Intelligent Information Technologies (CETINIA) at URJC aims at promoting research and innovation of excellence, as well as efficient dissemination and knowledge transfer to different stakeholders, in the vibrant field of smart, next-generation software and information systems. It comprises more than 20 researchers, holding numerous research projects sponsored by official bodies like the Spanish Government, the Government of Madrid, the European Commission and ESF, as well as various private companies. Its strong international projection and the dynamic and interdisciplinary research climate have attracted various international researchers to the institution. It has been involved in numerous international research consortia and scientific networks (e.g. AT, AgentLink, WASP, Exystence, W3C, or ERCIM). The Consolider research team comprises researchers from the field of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering, accumulating a large body of knowledge and experience in topics such as Multiagent Systems (Coordination, Virtual Organisations), the Semantic Web (Web Engineering, Semantic Web Services), and Knowledge Modelling (Non-standard logics, Reasoning, Ontologies).

GTI-IA - UPV

GTI-IA is a multi-disciplinar group. It is composed of 15 teachers organised into two specialised groups: Artificial Intelligence and Real-Time systems. We have experience in transferring results to local, national and international industry.

The application of new Computing Engineering technologies requires continuous improvement in industry. Current industrial environment demands for: (i) important expenses in technological innovation in these areas, (ii) a potential of improvement of industrial competitiveness due to the development of these technologies, (iii) great capabilities of collaboration among research centres and companies and (iv) the consideration as a priority technological area in the majority of developed countries. The main goal of this co-operation must be to obtain the highest efficiency in the transference of results to industrial tissue. There are external determining factors which favours R&D activity in this area in the institutional and managerial context.

The GTI-IA research group contributes with:

• Scientific production.
• Interaction with local, national and international industry.
• Continuous participation in competitive research projects.
• Continuous participation in european consortiums (companies and research centres).
• Important formative labour, with a significative research staff and grants.
• International presence through international organisms and program committees in journals and conferences.
• Capability to organise national and international events.
• Consolidated collaboration with several national and foreign universities.
• Participation in thematic european networks.
