These days, data can be processed at unprecedented speeds. At the same time, the information technology required is becoming smaller and cheaper and is penetrating more and more spheres of life – including automation, where it enables the construction of intelligent machines.
To understand how computers could process even unorganised data and cope with the complexity of our world, ETH researchers are looking at machine intelligence and perception. For example, they are exploring the boundaries of autonomous systems, to find out how human productivity could be extended with the help of intelligent machines. To do this, ETH Zurich is using a modelbased approach, a broad, interdisciplinary research portfolio and a new generation of supercomputers.
“Smart” information technology can help save energy or, when incorporated in RFID tags, simplify supply chains in trade. Intelligent systems are increasingly able to operate autonomously. However, this increases the risk that software problems could penetrate the physical world and cause severe damage. ETH Zurich is working on infrastructures to link the virtual and the physical worlds together not only efficiently, but also safely and securely.
The following Centres of Competence and interdisciplinary scientific centres of ETH Zurich are researching in the area of information & intelligence:
| Competence Center for Digital Design and Modeling (DDM) |
The centre brings together expertise in the fields of modelling and simulation, visual computing, human computer interaction, architecture, perceptual research, and social science. The central goal is to understand the principles of design and modelling across disciplines. More |
| CSCS - Swiss National Supercomputing Centre |
CSCS develops and promotes technical and scientific services for the Swiss research community in the fields of high-performance computing. More |
| Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) |
ECC is a research centre of ETH Zurich established in collaboration with industry to promote education, research, and technology transfer in diverse areas related to enterprise computing. More |
|
swiss electromagnetics research and engineering centre (serec) |
The serec attempts to consolidate research and development in the general area of electromagnetics across different domains (academia, government and industry) in Switzerland. More |
The following departments of ETH Zurich are also contributing to the research related to information & intelligence:
|
Computer Science (D-INFK) |
|
|
The Distributed Systems Group researches on the broad fields of models and concepts for distributed computations, ubiquitous computing, Internet of Things, architectures for sensor networks, infrastructure support for smart real-world objects, interaction in smart environments, and privacy and security concepts. One specific goal is to incorporate computing power into everyday objects in order to create "smart things": real‐world objects that provide novel ways of accessing information, react to their environment, or provide new emergent functionality when interacting with other smart things.
