Research Interests:

Dr Paul Calder heads research groups that are contributing to Flinders Medical Devices and Technologies and to two of the programs in the Knowledge Discovery and Language Technologies Laboratory
  • The Software Patterns group is investigating how pattern languages come about, how they evolve, and how they guide the design process. Current projects include discovering previously unknown patterns in software artifacts, and using patterns to critique student programs
  • The Graphics and Data Visualisation group, part of the Knowledge Discovery and Language Technologies Laboratory, is developing techniques that support the visualisation of large and complex data sets. Current projects are investigating Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality techniques to display information embedded in a real-world context.
