Information Communication & Technology Research Platform ICT Research Platform is embracing on the idea of integrating science & arts with computing. ICT in the past have driven the changes in science, it enables and facilitates scientific discovery that can only be effectively done with the help of computers. In the next fifty years however, it is anticipated that science will drive changes in computing. Hence, it is apparent that interdisciplinary research in ICT is embarked to create innovative and creative solutions of computational resources to address forefront scientific problems. The ICT research platform are focusing on developing capabilities that are applicable to multiple disciplines, by undertaking specific, well defined projects, thereby developing tools and approaches that can be generalised and shared. The projects (or clusters) aim to bridge the gap (and thus making contributions in this unaddressed area) that left open by each discipline in their own right, and hence the focus of the projects undertaken will be on the interdisciplinary applicability of innovative computing across the scientific frontier. One of such projects is the Grid Services and Application Research Cluster (GSARC), combining expertise from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines. The main aims of the project are to grid-enable six seed applications and to train human capital in grid computing. The integration of enhanced grid technology to solve computationally challenging problems (e.g. modeling and predicting the vector borne diseases) on reasonable time scales, and to solve combinatorial explosion of test cases for software testing requires close collaboration between the world of computer science and scientific disciplines. However, the bigger impact of this project is on the fundamental sharing of the experiences gain during the course of integrating grid technologies and applications. GeoHazard Research Mitigation Project (GHRMP) is another example of interdisciplinary research mooted under the ICT Platform. This problem oriented project is focusing on landslide hazard mitigation, it forges deep interdisciplinary collaboration between expertise in School of Physics, Mathematics Analysis, Civil Engineering, Distance Education, Educational Studies, Mass Communication and Computer Science. What special about this project is the inclusion of social sciences experts in a technical-based research; their role is to study the impacts of landslide events to the community in affected area, while another group look at the mechanism to effectively disseminate vital information to the community in the landslide prone area before, during and after the landslide disaster. Another cross disciplined research project is the Delineation & VRTS project which involves medical experts, pharmacists and computer scientists. The goal is to develop an extensible software platform that
