A nimbus rises in the world of cloud computing
Cloud computing is a hot topic in the technology world these days. Even if you're not a tech-phile, chances are if you've watched a lot of television or skimmed a business magazine, you've heard someone talking about cloud computing as the way of the future. view more (2009-05-11)
Experimental evolution in robots probes the emergence of biological communication
Using an ingenious approach involving virtual robots that possess evolvable genomes, researchers have identified key factors that may play important roles in determining the manner in which communication arises during the evolution of social organisms. view more (2007-02-23)
NCR and Abertay join forces to boost Scottish IT skills
A joint initiative to encourage more software engineers to study and work in Scotland was launched today by NCR and the University of Abertay Dundee. Under the agreement NCR will offer Abertay’s software engineering students placements with some of the world’s leading developers of software for the ATM industry at NCR’s global... view more...

Commission launches first virtual institute of the European Research Area
A paradox of European research is that, despite its abundance and high quality, the results are not exploited as well as in Japan and the United States. Knowledge networks facilitate the transfer of relevant research results and know-how to industries, including SMEs. This is why the European Commission's Research DG supports the setting-up of... view more... (2001-05-02)
Virtual racing games linked to risk taking
Psychologists have taken the "media priming" effects of popular video console and PC-based games on the road, finding that virtual racing seems to lead to aggressive driving and a propensity for risk taking. view more (2007-03-19)
Virtual world offers new locale for problem solving
Second Life, a virtual world created in 2003, currently boasts more than 12 million users worldwide who go there for everything from college recruiting to shopping. Now, Penn State researchers are investigating how virtual teams can better solve real world problems by collaborating in Second Life. view more (2008-09-30)
Virtual food components take the guesswork out of healthy eating
Nutritional information as provided on food labels tell us little about the effects various food components actually have on our body. But that could change, thanks to a novel concept described by New Zealand researcher Dr John Monro in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month - the use of virtual food components (VFCs) to... view more...
