The Empirical Modelling Project is an ongoing research programme, based in the Computer Science Department at the University of Warwick, that was initiated by Dr. Beynon in 1981. The theme of the project is broad, and has found application in human-computer interaction, interactive graphics, computer-aided design, scientific visualisation, concurrent systems modelling, concurrent engineering and software development. Over the last 7 years, the project has received sponsorship from EPSRC, The Royal Society, NSERC Canada, British Telecom, IBM, Matra Datavision and the University of Aizu in Japan to pursue several of these areas of application. Major collaborators over this period include Dr Simon Yung, Dr Mike Joy, Dr Steve Russ and several postgraduates in Computer Science, and Dr Alan Cartwright in Engineering. Our output includes over 50 publications including contributions to over 30 international conferences as well as a suite of special-purpose software tools and a large, varied and steadily growing collection of case-studies.
