The Information Management Group has three major research themes: Digital Multimedia, Database Engineering and Interoperable Systems, and Educational Technologies.

The Centre for Digital Video Processing (CDVP) researches and develops techniques and tools to automatically analyse and index digital video information, and allow content-based operations such as browsing, searching, and summarisation. The Database Engineering and Interoperable Systems researchers develop formal and informal models for constructing database systems, and construct interoperable layers between heterogeneous information systems. The Educational Technologies research is currently focused on the Improvement of the use of ICT in higher education through Action Research.

A report on the activities of the Information Management Group has been published in the current edition of ACM Sigmod Record, and is available online in pdf format.
