Aalto SEA - Systems & Services Engineering Analytics

The Aalto Systems and Services Engineering Analytics (AaltoSEA) Group concentrates and consolidates research activities, resources, results, and collaborations on foundational principles, concepts and techniques for service engineering analytics of distributed software systems and services, big data applications, machine learning systems and IoT. We are a member of The Department of Computer Science, Aalto University. We also contribute to the newly established Aalto Center for Autonomous Systems. Recently, we have also started to study what does it mean software and services analytics in the age of quantum computing through the collaboration in The Finnish Quantum Institute. At Aalto we teach students to study topics in Big Data Platforms and Systems for Big Data/Machine Learning and supervise research theses in, for example, cloud computing, big data, IoT, edge computing, and ML.

Civic Agency in AI - CAAI

The CAAI (Civic Agency in AI) project aims to understand citizens’ algorithmic literacy, agency and participation in the design and development of AI services in the Finnish public sector in order to advance more democratic and citizen-centric digital infrastructures.

Collaborative Networking

The Collaborative Networking (CoNe) group's research focuses on large-scale distributed systems and network applications which are based on nodes cooperating voluntarily. Examples of such systems are information-centric networks, edge and cloud computing, mobile opportunistic networks, and Internet of Things.

Empirical Software Engineering

Empirical Software Engineering Helsinki (ESE) is a research group at the University of Helsinki. We address software engineering research problems and challenges with industrial relevance or origin. We emphasise the empirical aspect of the research, in particular by applying research methods that enable us gaining deep understanding of software development.

Human-Centred Health Informatics (HCHI)

The HCHI group brings together research enthusiasts from various fields such as engineering, design, medicine, nursing and psychology.

Our research group focuses on
- Human-centred design of electronic health (eHealth) services
- Patient experience
- Usability of electronic health record (EHR) systems
- User experiences of health and social care professionals
- Usability in IT system procurement

Internet technologies

The research group works on various themes related to Internet, and mobile and fixed networking.

mc² –Mobile Cloud Computing

The mc² –Mobile Cloud Computing group at Aalto University, founded in 2016, conducts experimental systems research on edge computing and services for cognitive manufacturing, autonomous driving and digital healthcare. With members from technically diverse backgrounds, the mc² group is active in multi-disciplinary research and industrial collaboration.

Speech Interaction Technology

Our goal is to improve spoken interaction, in applications such as telecommunication and speech interfaces. We develop methods which are efficient and sustainable with respect to resources and provide high sound quality and intuitive interaction while simultaneously retaining the privacy and trust of users. A particular area of interest is environments where multiple people interact with multiple devices, which requires advanced methods for communication, authentication, and processing.

Unified Database Management Systems (UDBMS)

The Unified Database Management System (UDBMS) group works on database and data management fields. We focus especially on multi-model database management systems, applied categorty theory and quantum computing with databases. Our vision is to develop algorithms and systems to store, manage, and process the continually growing and diverse data. Through our research and development efforts, we aspire to redefine the capabilities of data management technologies, making them more efficient, adaptable, and accessible for a wide range of applications.
