About
About
The Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) is Australia’s largest research group in intelligent systems modelling and simulation, led by leading intelligent systems expert Director Douglas Creighton.
In 2016, Deakin University’s Centre for Intelligent Systems Research was redesignated to the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI). It was identified as a key research area that was well-positioned to work closely with industry to produce commercialisation outcomes – and it has swiftly proven that true. IISRI is part of the Future Economy Precinct, which links high-level capabilities in technological innovation with specialised research equipment and industrial-scale infrastructure to drive commercial outcomes.
Since its establishment, it has been a leading force in the translation of intelligent systems research into commercial-ready products and services that are agile, adaptive and applicable in dynamic, real-world environments.
