where is the proof?
• StAR project in early 1990s helped grow Lhasa Ltd from 6 people to 85– AI techniques for toxicological risk assessment– Current KTP is helping Lhasa develop its next generation of
products• Bayesian Networks for software defect prediction with Philips
Electronics– Set a new benchmark for predictive accuracy– BN technology now being used under a KTA project for GHGe
prediction in the agricultural sector• Genetic algorithms for design optimisation with Honda
– Used to optimise the “wings” on the (last) Honda F1 car– now available as a design resource at Surrey

Big Projects
• OPAALS– Open Philosophies for Associative Autopoietic digitaL ecosystemS– EU Funded 4 year project, 15 Partners, 9M Euros
• ERIE: Evolution and Resilience of Industrial Ecosystems – A 6 year, £4M project involving Computing, Mathematics,
Sociology and the Centre for Environmental Strategy• MILES: Models and Mathematics in Life and Social Sciences
– A 3 year, £0.8M project involving Computing, Mathematics, Sociology and Microbial Sciences
– The combination of the last two projects makes us part of a world class centre in the modelling of complex adaptive systems.
