Interactive Systems... address a wide range of computer systems characterised by significant amounts of interaction and modalities between humans and the computer. ISDS scope of research and development focuses on system’s front end on advanced 2d and 3d visualization methods and on smart interfaces for multimodal input and control. On the backend side, research in information platforms, specifically web and game technologies, underpins the foundation for enhanced and large-scale systems accessible by the latest variety of end devices. Data Science... comprises both large scale data analytics as well as large scale data management. Thereby, data analytics deals with methods such as knowledge discovery, data mining, or machine learning, whereas data management is concerned with fundamentals of database systems, distributes databases, or more recently NoSQL database technologies. Utilizing such methods ISDS researchers typically concentrate on Web scale datasets. Active research and development includes subjects such as Web applications, Game Design and Development, e-Education and e-Assessment, Information and Knowledge Visualisaition, Human-Computer Interfaces, Social Networks Analysis, Web Science, Network Science, Data Mining, Time Series Analysis, Stream Data Processing, Temporal Databases, to name a few.
