The Adaptive Information Cluster (AIC) unites research leaders from three centers: DCU's National Centre for Sensors Research and Centre for Digital Video Processing, along with UCD's Smart Media Institute. Over 20 months, the AIC has grown to 50+ researchers, achieving 100 publications and €6 million in extra funding. Key collaborations with IBM Research, Intel, and various SMEs have propelled the cluster forward. Future research will focus on adaptive information processing, environmental applications, and personal health solutions leveraging wireless sensor networks.
