Department of Applied Research in Information Technology

The Department of Applied Research in Information Technology at the Norwegian Computing Center offers applied research within multimedia, information security, universal design, and e-inclusion. Multimodality is a key strategy to usable data services, and we participate in projects handling multiple devices including mobile phones, PCs, and digital television. Our researchers have high scientific competence and broad industry experience. In addition to research our services cover concept studies, analysis, consultancy, prototyping, training, development, and evaluation.

Current project partners include Norwegian industries such as ABB, Computas, BBS, DNV, SuperOffice, Linpro, and BlueGarden. We further cooperate with public bodies such as the Norwegian Tax Authority, Brønnøysund­registrene, Ministry of Government Administration and Reform, and the National Archival Services of Norway. International partners include Telefonica I&D, HP R&D, Telvent, CSI-Piemonte, Sheffield City County, and Brunel University. Our projects are typically financed by industry and public bodies, the Research Council of Norway, the EU Framework Program, and ITEA.
