Currently we are involved in the following projects with external funding:
DAIMI responsible: Jørgen Lindskov Knudsen
External partners: Systematic Software Engineering, MR
Research Centre at Aarhus University Hospital, PET Centre at Aarhus
Kommunehospital
Financed by: Danish National Centre for IT Research (CIT),
Danish Ministry of Industry
Grant for DAIMI activities: 1998: 1.600.000 DKK, 1999:
385.000 DKK, Total: 1.985.000 DKK
Goals: The focus of the CAVI project is divided into two application areas for the VR technology: medical dataprocessing and flight-support systems. Within the first area (which is the major area) work is done with visualizations based on images obtained from MR and PET scanners. The purpose is to device support for visualization of parts of the body in order to support diagnostics and pre-operational planning. Furthermore, work is conducted on systems for generating functional maps of the brain, and a system for enabling quick control of the entire image and data processing process. Within the flight-support domain, work has been conducted in creating a GPS (Global Positioning System) based system to be used by pilots while evaluating testflights.
DAIMI responsible: Susanne Bødker
External partners: Danfoss A/S, Danish Maritime Institute,
Risø National Laboratory, Department of Automation and
Department of Control and Engineering Design at Technical University
of Denmark, Department of Information & Media Sciences at
University of Aarhus
Financed by: Danish National Research Foundation (Grundforskningsfonden)
Grant for DAIMI activities: 1998-2002: 950.000 DKK per
year, Total: 4.750.000 DKK
Goals: The purpose of the centre is to strengthen the
academic quality of Danish Human-Machine research and to enhance
the integration of approaches in this interdisciplinary research
field. This is necessary in order to improve the quality and innovation
of design of human machine interaction and interfaces for modern
work places, which is enabled and required by the new technologies.
The activities will be concentrated on three topics

DAIMI responsible: Søren Christensen, Kurt Jensen
External partners: Hewlett Packard
Financed by: Hewlett-Packard and Danish National Centre for IT Research (CIT)
Grant for DAIMI activities: 2000: 1.500.000 DKK, 2001: 2.000.000, 2002: 1.250.000 Total: 4.750.000 DKK
Goals: The centre focuses on the application of Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN) for analysis of systems. The centre covers three main areas:
The work is organised as a number of projects in which CP-nets are used for modelling, validation and/or capacity planning of systems. A typical project runs for 6-12 months and cooperate with an industrial project. The Centre is a continuation and extension of the HP-CPN Centre and the CPN2000 project.

Financed by: European Commission (ESPRIT LTR project No
31870)
Grant for DAIMI activities: 1998: 332.662 DKK, 1999: 791.027
DKK, 2000: 959.205 DKK, 2001: 402.794 DKK, Total: 2.485.688 DKK.
Goals: The goal of the project is to create computer
support for new work environments for architects and landscape
architects. The objectives are to build and test a prototype of
a computational work environment which:

External partners: LEGO Group, Novo Nordic, Danish Technical
University
Financed by: Danish Research Councils
Grant for DAIMI activities: 1998: 1.296.000 DKK, 1999:
1.283.000 DKK, 2000: 1.424.000 DKK, 2001: 1.147.000 DKK, Total:
5.150.000 DKK
Total budget: 21.300.000 DKK (1998-2001)
Goals: The Centre for Multimedia is organised in two projects of equal sizes: Distributed Multimedia Technologies and Applications (DMM) and Staging of virtual 3D spaces (STAGING). DAIMI manages the DMM project addressing central research issues in supporting collaboration within and between organisations by means of distributed multimedia technology. This include both collaboration on intranets and inter-organisational collaboration and commerce transactions. Internet (and intranet) technologies, virtual reality, and tele-conferencing are important enabling technologies. The project will focus on their usage in three different domains: Network Organisations, Electronic Commerce, and Distributed Education. The project brings together cross disciplinary competences to enhance the state of the art of both distributed multimedia technologies themselves and our understanding of their use in organisations and the society as a whole.
DAIMI responsible: Preben Holst Mogensen
External partners: Lancaster University (UK) and Aarhus School of architecture
Financed by: European Commission (Disappearing computer, FET project No IST-2000-25290)
Grant for DAIMI activities: 2001: 2.377.390 DKK, 2002: 1.801.336 DKK, 2003: 1.672.084, Total: 5.850.810
Goals: The disappearing computer is about moving from traditional screen and keyboard interfaces into pervasive computing where the users' interface to computing becomes a variety of appliances and devices. The objective of the WorkSPACE project is to develop software components and hardware artefacts that may be combined and integrated into various kinds of augmented reality work places, environments, and fields. The WorkSPACE components will enable support for a diversity of work situations ranging from individual work, through local collaboration, to distributed collaboration. We call such augmented work environments for Spatial Computing Environments. The work will focus on development of three demonstrators: 1) Spatial Computing in the Distributed Project Room; 2) Object Centred Spatial Computing; and 3) Spatial Computing Artefacts in the Field.
