Dear Colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the Virtual MPhil in Computing programme at the Open University (http://virtualmphil.open.ac.uk). The programme has several research themes and we are leading the Design, Computing and Complexity strand. We would be happy to hear from potential students. The theme is motivated by the aim of exploring and bringing together advances in design, computing and complexity in order to: • understand and support the creative process of design teams and individuals • develop innovative ideas and create new technological solutions The theme recognises that interdisciplinary research is important for working with the complexity of reality and that collaboration between designers, computer scientists and engineers is key for the creation of innovative digital products and services. Visit http://bit.ly/bBecVX for more details. Potential candidates who wish to explore research ideas in this area please contact Katerina Alexiou ([log in to unmask]) and Theodore Zamenopoulos ([log in to unmask]). --------------------------- Katerina Alexiou RCUK Academic Fellow Design Group, DDEM The Open University Milton Keynes MK7 6AA email: [log in to unmask] web:http://design.open.ac.uk/alexiou/index.htm ---------------------------- Theodore Zamenopoulos Lecturer in Design Design Group, DDEM The Open University Milton Keynes MK7 6AA email: [log in to unmask] web: http://design.open.ac.uk/people/zamenopoulos/index.htm
