The AKT project was approached for help locating alumni from ECS. It is estimated that there are approximately three thousand graduates from the School since it's inception as the Department of Electronics in 1947. The School has no active contact with most of these graduates. However, it is known that some of these people hold prestigious positions in industry and academia. If they could be located, they could be a great help to marketing in the School. It was hoped that a semantic web application could be developed to help locate these alumni, leveraging some of the technologies researched and developed by the AKT IRC. Data collected could then be reused for other AKT activities and to inform other research.
