The Complex Cyber Infrastructure (CCI) group is part of the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam. CCI's mission is to advance the trustworthiness of complex computer systems. We focus on decentralized systems with advanced technologies (e.g., cloud, edge, blockchain, data spaces), serving multiple stakeholders with different objectives. Our research aims at improving compliance with defined policies, security & privacy, and environmental sustainability, thus providing a solid foundation for advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence applications. We teach the next generation of computer science professionals, and cooperate with a large ecosystem of organizations. Our focus areas include data exchange systems, normative reasoning, security & privacy, software languages, and responsible software systems.
