is a research centre of the Faculty of Management and Information Sciences. It is based in the School of Computing, Mathematical and Information Sciences. Within the University the SEAKE Centre works to provide the research culture and ethos for undertaking research and course development into human centred systems. International links are established through collaborative research programmes, visiting research scientists, and a programme of doctoral research in culture, innovation and technology. The work of the Centre is undertaken by the network of researchers.
Human centred research
is concerned with the design of advanced information technology environments
supporting knowledge transfer and learning in complex social systems and
organisations. It has broader concerns in the areas of scientific traditions,
human organisations and enterprise cultures. In this tradition science
and technology are reinforced by such concepts as human purpose, human-machine
symbiosis, diversity and cohesion, participation, and the tacit dimension
of knowledge.
