Istar-Iscte

the istar-information sciences, technologies and architecture research center is an iscte research unit that has the mission to carry out applied and multidisciplinary research in the convergence of areas like computer science and information technologies, mathematics (applied to computational problems), architecture and urbanism (in its digital dimensions, either conceptual, modelling, simulation or fabrication). istar-iscte is concerned with the analysis, design, and construction of human–based systems, focusing, in its creation, on the design of digital living spaces, on the design and construction of information systems and software, and on complexity studies and computational modeling as understanding tools. istar-iul is organized in four research groups: digital living spaces (dls), information systems (is), software system engineering (sse) and complexity and computational modelling (ccm). istar-iul stimulates flexibility in its structure, diversity and cross-fertilization of sc
