Projects

Bio-sample Tracking

CIDS  have developed in conjunction with Universal Trace Ltd. an advanced system for automated tracking and monitoring of pathology samples based on RFID. This project was supported by Enterprise Irelands Innovation Voucher Scheme.

iPhone Development

CIDS have developed and deployed advanced applications for iPhone and iPad devices in conjunction with our Industry Partner companies. CIDS are available to discuss R&D requirements that you have for mobile applications using any of the popular platforms.

System of Systems

System of Systems describes the interaction between different independent systems to achieve an overall goal that is greater than the sum of each component part. CIDS is a currently researching in the area of SoS.  

Reality Mining

Currently we are researching the feasibility of combining Internet Of Things (IoT) technologies and Reality Mining techniques to provide for systems where the actions of smart objects may be monitored and predicted.
