Computing

This School combines two of the fastest developing aspects of modern life, computing and communications, and ensures that its graduates are prepared for the technological challenges of the 21st century. These are driven by the constant and rapid pace of change, where very cheap computing elements have invaded all types of technology, which are themselves constantly changing: this is reflected in the famous "Moores Law" which predicts that the power of computing elements doubles every 18 months or so.

The Computing unit, while retaining its strong and very productive industrial relationships focused on networking systems, has also developed themes relevant to ordinary people, in particular computer games (which have broader implications as a rich mode of human-computer interaction) and aids for the handicapped.  A recent development in the exciting new area of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags has won a national prize and development of a specialist theme in this area is in progress.
