The analysis and intelligent modelling of data is key to guiding future action. The Centre for Advanced Analytics and Predictive Sciences (CAAPS) unites data collecting and data processing disciplines at the University of Augsburg in a multidisciplinary centre with the goal of enabling progress and innovation in experimental and theoretical methods and their actual application.

Recent developments show how closely data acquisition and data processing interact in current research. This is evident especially in medical computer-aided diagnostics and therapy, in the production of high-tech materials and substances, and the application of Artificial Intelligence.

Such developments require infrastructure consisting of a complex technological process chain and theoretical mathematical and computer science methods for processing extensive sensor information and data sets. This emphasises the need for multidisciplinary cooperation between data collection and processing and offers the potential for innovation in economically and socially relevant fields of research.
