Research Commercialisation

 
CLARITY combines world-class research with a vibrant culture of commercialisation. It has a very strong track record of successful partnerships with industry and spinning out technology into new companies. Recent success stories for CLARITY are the spin-out companies: Heystaks, Metalabs, and Changing Worlds, and the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Prize won with Fairview Analytics.
We are actively seeking opportunities to work with national and international companies and individuals to develop knowledge exchange partnerships and to explore IP licencing. 
We have presented below a brief description of our 4 major research streams and a small selection of the technologies that we have available for co-development and/or licensing.
 

Web-scale Sensing and the Real-time Web

Contextual Content Analysis

 contextual content image  Fundamental techniques to analyse and understand only relevant content as carried by the sensed data, taking cognizance of the manner in which the required semantic information will eventually be used
   
  

Sensor Web Platforms and Software Infrastructure
