Research Group Collaborative and Socio-Technical Systems (COaST)

Creating connections

We are a multidisciplinary research group focusing on human-centric design and interaction in distributed and collaborative computer systems.

Modelling socio-technical systems

Our group addresses a broad spectrum of research topics related to the analysis and design of socio-technical systems. While we focus mainly on mediated reality and educational applications, we also explore fundamental aspects, such as complex network dynamics, adaptivity, self-organization, and other processes underlying these systems. The group operates the VR/AR Lab at the Department of Computer Science.
