Leveraging the Multi-Stakeholder Nature of Cyber Security

Funder: EPSRC   Details: here

Cyber Security (CyS) is a challenging, distributed, multi-stakeholder problem. This international EPSRC funded, and NCSC supported three year project focusses on research to enable the systematic integration of vulnerability assessment information which is A) captured from many different sources such as cyber security experts, and B) associated with varying levels of uncertainty. The research underpins a prototype for a decision support system which dynamically prioritises ares of system vulnerability as new information becomes available.

Open Food

Funder: EPSRC   Details: here

The multi-site, Open Food, or 'Prototyping Open Innovation Models for ICT-Enabled Manufacturing in Food and Packaging' focusses on designing and developing a new personalised manufacturing process which enables the capture of complex consumer preferences (e.g.: "What flavour of juice would you like?") in order to directly drive reactive, continuous manfucaturing.
