dot.rural Digital Economy Research Hub 
I am one of ten co-investigators on this major project funded by the UK Research Councils in interdisciplinary research in the Digital Economy. This project represents the largest single investment by the UK Research Councils to the University. I lead the autonomous agents and services research including trust and information security, and am involved in the following sub-projects:
- Flexible Integrated Transport Systems (FITS), with John Nelson, John Farrington, Tim Barmby, Nir Oren and Nico Rotstein.
- Agent and Semantic Support for Rural Enterprise (ASSURE), with Claire Wallace, Alison Smart, Jeff Z. Pan, Katia Sycara, Nico Rotstein and Chris Burnett.
