Seeking to develop methods to improve support for development, operation and maintenance of business-critical systems/software.
Systematically study key software technologies for the development of business-critical software "in vivo", with the purpose of improving these technologies and/or their usage.
A research project within the VERDIKT program for the Norwegian ICT sector, investigating issues in distributed text mining .
A research project within the eVita program for the Norwegian ICT sector, investigating issues in data management in Grid systems.
A distributed and decentralized Grid database system which support data interoperability; based on P2P technology and using an ontology-based metadata layer that provides seamless access to the heterogeneous sources in the Data Grid.

A Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries partially funded by the European Commission in the frame of the Information Society Technologies Programme. The main objective of DELOS is to contribute to the development of the enabling technologies for digital libraries.

EVISOFT is a national, user-driven project funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
The research is conducted by: Geomatikk AS (Head of Project), ABB, DnV Software, EDB Business Partner, Firm, Kongsberg Spacetec, ObjectNet, Software Innovation/Genera, Telenor and Vital, SINTEF, NTNU and the Oslo University/Simula Research Laboratory.

The principal objective of FABULA is to develop novel principles and technical solutions for learning enabled by seamless roaming in mobile networks, with focus on services that foster the city learning geographies and ecologies and enable new relationships among learners and communities. FABULA is a multidisciplinary effort. The consortium includes at NTNU the Department of Information and Computer Science (IDI), the Dept. of Telematics, and the Center for Learning with ICT.
How to integrate access control to health care information from various systems.

Objective: To provide next generation schema agnostic indexing services by fusing structured, unstructured and multimedia content in precision, analytics and scale optimized information access services.
iAd is hosted by Fast Search and Transfer has the following partners: Cornell University, Dublin City University, Norwegian School of Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Oslo, University of Tromsø, Accenture, and Schibsted

The objective is to create an integrated information platform, which enable multi-disciplinary teams to work simultaneously in an integrated operation environment that may consist of many operation centres geographically dispersed over wide distances.

LongRec is a research project on persistent, reliable and trustworthy long-term archival of digital documents, with emphasis on availability and use of documents. The particular problems addressed by LongRec typically emerge when document lifetime exceeds 20 years, and LongRec imposes no upper limit on the lifetime.
The main objectives for the LongRec partners are:
The project will develop and evaluate a prototype process support system for mobile work built on top of existing components. The mobile work system prototype will be:
MOSES focuses on increasing the users' abilities to easily express what information and services they need, and to enable service providers to specify services in a manner that is compatible with users' models of the world.
The MOSES project investigates and demonstrates the utility of the semantic web approach as a viable approach to building user-centered, decenteralized, and universally interoperable solutions.
The principal objective: To enable the Norwegian IT sector to fully exploit the benefits and advantages of open source software (OSS); hereunder to exploit software engineering in heterogeneous, distributed and concurrent collaborations.
Subgoals:
NSEP is a multidisciplinary research centre gathering faculty, researchers, projects and doctoral students from medicine, computer science, sociology, nursing, linguistics, management and then some... Currently (2007) the centre hosts 7 senior faculty, 4 researchers/postdocs, and around 20 PhD students. Colocated with NSEP is IDI´s reconfigurable healthcare usability laboratory, in which it is possible to simulate and test mobile and other clinical information systems.
NSEP does research within all aspects of the electronic health record, including user interfaces, architecture, representation, content, analysis, distribution, use, evaluation, development and role in delivering and improving quality and efficiency of health care.
The Norwegian Research Council funds the project with MNOK 25. See their project description

Art finds expression in numerous products in society, where developments of products are complex, competitive, global and intercultural in scope. The advent of multi media technology has changed art production processes and the way both music, video, and figurative is fruited by consumers. Our assumption is that the interaction between software technology and art is also beneficial for the software technologists.
This project confronts the interdisciplinary problem of integrating software designs originating from different academic genre into better products for society. The research method will be based on empirical software engineering and will benefit from the interaction with experts from different disciplines, like artists.
The SEVO project aims to use empirical investigations to help understand the nature and profile software evolution. Focusing specifically on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE), we are looking to study industrial software, and develop methods to better handle software evolution.
