School of Electronics and Computer Science PSC: Pervasive Systems Centre

Welcome to the Pervasive Systems Centre

PSC The Pervasive Systems Centre (PSC) is a research centre in the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton, UK. Pervasive systems represent a major market for the wireless and mobile electronics industries, and are of critical importance to society and the economy. The PSC tackles the challenges of pervasive computing by drawing on multidisciplinary expertise from across research groups, including sensors, signal processing, communications, system design and computer science.

The PSC is in a unique position to address the major research challenges of pervasive systems, through the necessary breadth of world-leading expertise that is housed in ECS. Research in the PSC is focused on three major research themes: Wireless Sensing and Sensor Networks, Low-Energy Sustainable Systems, and Pervasive Healthcare and Telemedicine. These are represented by the interest groups (WiSE, HCE and LESS respectively). For further information on the activities and research of the PSC, please select a research theme/interest group from those shown below.

WiSE: Wireless Sensing in ECSHCE: Healthcare in ECSLESS: Low-Energy Sustainable Systems
