Overview Multiscale computing refers to the diverse set of computing environments that scale over a wide range of engineering parameters, including cost, size, power, and reliability.
We have identified three promising technologies to achieve this goal. Accordingly, our research on multiscale systems has three components.

AIRE Group Projects Tools for collaboration support: We are creating components of software infrastructure capable of supporting interactions among people, spaces and mobile devices on scales ranging from single rooms to inter-continental multi-person collaborations. Software infrastructure for human-centric pervasive computing: Collaboration support is the main target application area where we apply and evaluate our technology.
We recognize that collaboration happens in scheduled formal meetings as well as spontaneously during chance encounters. Finally, some of the work in groups happens off-line when people contribute comments, opinions and information asynchronously. Novel Human-Computer Interfaces: We are developing and evaluating new interfaces for people to interact with their environments. AIRE spaces e21 is our longest-running facility, a conference room instrumented fully with ubiquitous technologies. Several Ki/o kiosks have already been installed around the AI Laboratory. LIDS.
