Develop improved methods for knowledge extraction from massive amounts of data regarding moving objects. This knowledge is essential to substantiate decision making in public and private sectors. Moving object data typically include trajectories of concrete objects (e.g. humans, vehicles, animals, and goods), as well as trajectories of abstract concepts (e.g. spreading diseases). While movement records […]
BlogForever, a collaborative European Commission funded project, developed an exciting new system to harvest, preserve, manage and reuse blog content. The system is performing an intelligent harvesting operation which retrieves and parses hypertext as well as all other associated content (images, linked files, etc) from blogs. It copies content by interrogating not only the RSS
PhD funding program with the research been co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund – ESF) and Greek national funds through the Operational Program “Education and Lifelong Learning” of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) – Research Funding Program: Heracleitus II. Investing in knowledge society through the European Social Fund, the project has focused
COST Action IC0804 proposed realistic energy-efficient alternate solutions to share IT distributed resources. As large scale distributed systems gather and share more and more computing nodes and Storage resources, their energy consumption is exponentially increasing. While much effort is nowadays put into hardware specific solutions to lower energy consumptions, the need for a complementary approach

The project aimed at detecting user communities (in Twitter) based on users’ mentions and conversations in the context of specific topics. It has managed monitoring activity in microblogs (Twitter) to detect when and how communities evolve (emerge, gain / lose strength, merge, collapse) and also analyzed users’ activity in the identified communities to discover their
SFINX focuses on the human-machine distinction for VoIP service systems. The need to handle automated calls in the growing Internet telephony service (also known as SPIT) is the basic reference guide for SFIGX. SPHINX Service: Architectural style Title: SFINX: Robust Web Services distinguishing human or machine with interactive media audio Duration: – Funded under: NSRF
Culture heritage content virtual management with emphasis on sensor, Web and database technologies which enabled studying and developing of a new type of Virtual Museum integrating data streams from Web, Sensors (RFIDs) and Intranets. A Virtual Wing has been implemented and its software was installed at infokiosks, allowing for virtual tours to the Museum’s wings,
Cloud9 is structured around three pillars, reflecting also on the research-related workpackages and final deliverables: (i) the Cloud Computer abstraction, building a novel highly scalable and high performance cloud architecture, providing end-users with the illusion of a virtual computer with infinite resources and high availability; (ii) the Cloud Data Manager, dealing with the storage, replication,
