Welcome to CLARITY WIKI ...
CLARITY is a research centre that focuses on the intersection between two important research areas - Adaptive Sensing and Information Discovery - to develop innovative new technologies of critical importance to Ireland's future industry base and contribute to improving the quality of life of people in areas such as personal health, digital media and management of our environment. The overarching theme of CLARITY's research programme- bringing information to life - refers to the harvesting and harnessing of large volumes of sensed information, from both the physical world in which we live, and the digital world of modern communications & computing. The technology developed by CLARITY will help to empower the citizen by taming the information overload problem currently facing individuals, helping to ensure that everyone has access to the right information at the right time.
By successfully bridging the physical-digital divide CLARITY will produce a new generation of smarter, more proactive, information services. These will include, for example, new ways to monitor the impact of exercise on health, technologies to support our aging population, innovative social and interactive media services to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the digital media sector, and technology that can automatically monitor the quality of our environment. Such applications reflect key themes within CLARITY's innovative demonstrator projects and are enabled through the combination of adaptive sensing and information discovery technologies that form the core of CLARITY's far-reaching research programme.
To realise this vision, CLARITY proposes the strategic development of a unique world-class research centre that represents an ambitious evolution of the €12m Adaptive Information Cluster (2003-2007). CLARITY centre will serve as a true national centre for multi-disciplinary research, and will take full advantage of existing infrastructure investments at University College Dublin, Dublin City University and the Tyndall National Institute. CLARITY represents a large-scale academic-industry collaboration, accommodating more than 100 full-time researchers in partnership with more than 10 industrial partners, including major multinationals and emerging Irish companies. CLARITY will provide Irish researchers and industry with a unique opportunity to create and commercialise strategic intellectual property, producing viable solutions that can be rapidly exploited. This will lead to significant and sustainable, high-value job creation opportunities in areas of high socio-economic impact to Ireland.
CLARITY will help raise the profile of scientific research within Ireland through an innovative and vibrant education and outreach programme. CLARITY will provide a stable research environment within an exciting and emerging technology sector, attracting and fostering leading young researchers by offering high quality career development pathways. In short, CLARITY will help to produce a new generation of world-class researchers intent on becoming future custodians & ultimate leaders within Ireland's evolving knowledge economy, in areas that are focused on improving the quality of life of people.
