Introduction
The aim of the Microelectronics and Multimedia Communications Research
Centre (MMCRC) is to generate solutions to current and future challenges
for the system and network infrastructure supporting effective multimedia
communication.
In our society electronic communications using multimedia is a reality,
and doing business and learning using the Internet and World Wide Web,
has become possible. This capability may have important consequences for
the way we live, work and educate.We believe that future communications
will be even more in the form of multimedia communications.
Multidisciplinary Research and Prototype Development
We carry out multidisciplinary research and prototype development in technologies
addressing challenges in the following fields:
- Wireless Communications
- Reconfigurable and Adaptive Systems
- Internet Communication technologies
- Human Computer Interfaces.
- Image Processing
