Advanced Interaction Group
The AIG has just launched its new website, and whilst it's not quite complete in terms of content, it gives a good impression of the group. its activities and interests, and so on.
It also uses contemporary technology to good effect: it's written in php and XML, and has a database back end for cross-linking things. The main concepts in the site are People, Projects, Grants and Papers, and each can be associated with one or more of the others. So a Project has a number of People associated with it, and none or more Grants, and none or more papers. Likewise, Grants can support one or more projects, people and so on. This gives it great flexibility and provides an accurate view of the space.
The website is the more public face of the AIG - internally, different projects run different collaboration tools (BSCW, the shared document server; Twiki's and phpWiki's, blogs, and email are all used to support the communication and activities of the participants - and a few face to face meetings too!).
The projects part of the site wil develop rapidly over the next few weeks as we upload the details of our current active programmes of research, and we will also populate the grants section fully, and make papers available online.
