Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, has been awarded an international contract with Crok-based United Technologies Research Centre Ireland (UTRC-Ireland). Lero will apply its expertise in adaptive security and privacy software systems to United Technologies Research Center’s work in the design of intelligent buildings.
Cork is one of two international research and development centres operated by UTRC, which is headquartered in East Hartford, Connecticut (US) and has offices in Berkeley, California and Shanghai, China.
The research programme will explore new ways to implement building access with systems that can adapt to changing circumstances or personnel. The activities at Lero will be headed by Prof Bashar Nuseibeh, who was recently awarded a European Research Council €2.5 million grant for work on adaptive security and privacy with particular focus on mobile and cloud applications.
"This second agreement with Lero follows on from the success of our initial programme last year. Having that software research expertise on our doorstep enhances our research capabilities out of Cork," said John Milton-Benoit, general manager, UTRC-Ireland. "Security is a key element of smart buildings and our goal is to develop systems that can adapt based on the personnel and assets involved."
