Overview of course

3. 1, Service Oriented Computing (SOC) Research Group
SOC is the recipient of a significant component of UNSW’s extensive investment in research, capacity building and IT infrastructure.
SOC’s presence has enabled CSE to move rapidly – concurrently developing research, teaching, postgraduate supervision capability and leadership in service engineering.

4. Service Oriented Computer Group (SOC)
Recognition of SOC research resulted in several invitations to researchers to act as general chair, steering committee member, and PC chair of major international conferences, and a strong partnership with the Smart Services CRC (since 2007),
SOC members have attracted an average of $400,000 per year in CRC funding).
In the last 10 years, SOC researchers attracted over $3 million in ARC and DEST competitive research grants.
