The Information Management Unit is a multi-disciplinary Unit engaged in research and development activities in information Technology Management. IMU is a research unit of ICCS (Institute of Communication and Computer Systems), which was established in 1989 by the Ministry of Education and the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
Our work encompasses applied research and is multi-disciplinary in nature. We adopt field-based and action research approaches.
Research in IMU addresses the whole lifecycle from data analysis to computation to decision.
Research Areas
Analyse
from Data to Insight
We mine and combine data and discover useful knowledge by using AI, machine learning and prescriptive data analytics methods
Compute
from Cloud to Edge
We address issues like resource allocation across hybrid environments (cloud, fog, edge) and context-aware security and privacy
Decide
from Intelligence to Prescription
We develop multi-criteria optimisation and collective intelligence methods that proactively recommend the appropriate decisions
