Who I am Ian Miles Professor of Technological Innovation and Social Change

Welcome to All New Visitors! 

... Welcome back everyone else ...

ABOUT THESE PAGES

These pages continue to be updated in "bursts" of activity. They include:

* Presentations for my "Information Society" course (versions from 2000 to 2003)

* Powerpoint shows accompanying lectures I have given - e.g. on services, information society, foresight.

* Previously unpublished material, old and new.

Also on these pages is information on publications (new edited books, chapters, reports, conference papers), some overheads, and a series of links to abstracts and online resources.  See PUBLICATION LISTS, below.  

Various unpublished papers and presentations are put on this site, and added to regularly - so have a look at the download options too.  An increasing number of new publications on the long list are available from other sites, too; hyperlinks are being provided as they are discovered. I am now running a blog featuring these online oublications: it is at Online Publications http://ianspublicationsonline.blogspot.com)  A list of blogs I run (on services, foresight and futures, technology and society, etc is at Ian Miles Blogs - http://milesblogs.blogspot.com)

Finally, the sections dealing with matters largely outside of direct professional concern - the UNProfessional pages, naturally - are now beginning to appear. Due to work pressure these are updated much less frequently than desirable.

PhD Supervision

I am interested in supervising PhDs on:

• Innovation in services
• Service-client relationships
• Knowledge intensive business services
• Information technology/information society developments
• Positioning systems, ubiquituous computing
