Information technology continues to advance at a startling rate. With a bewildering array of new technologies it can sometimes become difficult to see the wood for the trees. Although user-interfaces and network connectivity have come a long way in recent years, the truth is that underlying applications use much the same logic as they always have. In practice software ends up being rewritten from scratch to utilise the new technologies of the day. We conduct research into new computer programming languages. Languages that allow applications to move with the times while not having to be rewritten. True portability!
