UBITECH actively participates in the kick-off meeting, in Brussels, Belgium (September 27-28, 2017) of the UPTIME H2020 Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2017 – undertaking the technical leadership of the research project’s activities. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 768634) and spans on the period September 2017 – August 2020. The UPTIME project aims to reframe predictive maintenance strategy in a systematic and unified way so as to fully exploit the advancements in ICT and maintenance management by examining the potential of big data in an e-maintenance infrastructure, to deliver novel e-maintenance services and tools to support the daily work of maintenance engineers as well as the overall maintenance management with the aim to optimize in-service efficiency, and to analyse and widely exploit results generated from the use of UPTIME solution in order to show its benefits to manufacturing companies for maintenance utility maximization along with industrial operations management improvement.

UBITECH and SINTEF shows the way the ARCADIA development, deployment, monitoring and maintenance framework maps onto OASIS TOSCA at the ERK 2017 in Slovenia
In the frame of the 26th International Electrotechnical and Computer Science Conference (ERK 2017), which takes place these days (September 26-27, 2017) in Congress Center Bernardin, Portorož, Slovenia, and is organized by the IEEE Slovenia Section together with Faculty of Electrical Engineering University of Ljubljana and other Slovenian professional societies, researchers from UBITECH and SINTEF contrast the OASIS TOSCA standard with the sophisticated ARCADIA framework, which provides developers with an integrated tool chain that reconciles IDE, service orchestrator and monitoring platform, and presents how to use TOSCA to describe ARCADIA orchestrations, and how the lessons learnt building the ARCADIA framework could benefit to future versions of TOSCA.
UBITECH presents a scientific paper on the efficient anonymization of sensitive patient data at CERC 2017 in Karlsruhe
A scientific paper entitled “Utilizing High Performance Computing Techniques for Efficiently Anonymizing Sensitive Patient Data” has been co-authored by UBITECH and published at the Collaborative European Research Conference CERC 2017 that is held in Karlsruhe, Germany at September 22-23, 2017. In this paper, UBITECH presents how High Performance Computing (HPC) enhances the adoption of Data Cubes technology for the anonymization of large sets of patient data in order to be able to cope with very large data sets. Indeed, in the case of genetic data, it may be possible that the size of original data may become very big, since the gene expression information or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that need to be recorded per patient may be in the order of hundreds of thousands.

Introducing OLISTIC multi-dimensional risk assessment suite in NMIOTC Cyber Security Conference
UBITECH’s R&D Director, Dr. Panagiotis Gouvas, participates in the 2nd NMIOTC Cyber Security Conference, that is organized by the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre and takes place on September 21-22, 2017 in Souda Bay, Greece, and demonstrates the capabilities of the OLISTIC Enterprise Risk Management Suite with regard to protecting, defending and fortifying maritime stakeholders (e.g. ports, shipping companies, logistics centers) against cyberattacks. The OLISTIC demo has attracted the attendance of representatives of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the European Commission, the European Defense Agency, the US Navy, the French Navy, the Hellenic National Defence General Staff, the Hellenic Navy, the shipping and maritime logistics industry and the academia.
UBITECH and CNIT introduces a sophisticate framework for the orchestration of 5G-Ready apps over sliced programmable infrastructure at the SOFT5 workshop held in conjunction with ITC 29 in Genoa
In the frame of the First International Workshop on Softwarized Infrastructures for 5G and Fog Computing (SOFT5), which takes place today (Friday, September 8, 2017) in Genoa, Italy and is devoted to providing a deep and critical insight on the evolution of 5G networks and cloud/fog computing technologies, researchers from UBITECH and CNIT present a holistic 5G end-to-end services operational framework (called MATILDA) tackling the overall lifecycle of design, development and orchestration of 5G-ready applications and 5G network services over programmable infrastructure, following a unified programmability model and a set of control abstractions.
UBITECH’s manuscript on personalized energy management has been accepted for publication at the Sensors MDPI Journal
Following a peer-review process, Sensors MDPI Journal has accepted to publish a scientific manuscript, authored by UBITECH, University of Murcia and STI Innsbruck, entitled “Providing Personalized Energy Management and Awareness Services for Energy Efficiency in Smart Buildings”. Eleni Fotopoulou, Tassos Zafeiropoulos, George Tsiolis, Panagiotis Gouvas and their co-editors present an innovative energy-aware information technology ecosystem, which supports the design and development of novel personalized energy management and awareness services that can lead to occupants’ behavioral change towards actions that can have a positive impact on energy efficiency.
Counter Terror Business Magazine’s Latest Issue emphasizes on Cybersecurity and brings UBITECH at the foreground
The latest issue of the Counter Terror Business magazine, published today, unveils the operational impact and business criticality of the emerging threat landscape of cyberattacks against critical infrastructures and supply chains, and brings the cybersecurity solutions of UBITECH in the foreground. In particular, UBITECH has designed, implemented and commercialized two flagship solutions in the field of security.
UBITECH joins the European Cyber Security Organisation and shapes the future of cybersecurity strategic research and innovation in Europe
The Members of the Board of the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) approved, on June 21, 2017, UBITECH’s application to become a full member of ECSO, a fully self-financed non-for-profit organisation under the Belgian law, established in June 2016. ECSO represents the industry-led contractual counterpart to the European Commission for the implementation of the Cyber Security contractual Public-Private Partnership (cPPP).
The main objective of ECSO is to support all types of initiatives or projects that aim to develop, promote, encourage European cybersecurity, and in particular to foster and protect from cyber threats the growth of the European Digital Single Market; to develop the cybersecurity market in Europe and the growth of a competitive cybersecurity and ICT industry, with an increased market position; and to develop and implement cybersecurity solutions for the critical steps of trusted supply chains, in sectoral applications where Europe is a leader.
UBITECH has expressed its interest to participate in the Working Groups concerning the standardisation, certification, labelling and supply chain management (WG1), the market deployment, investments and international collaboration (WG2), and the sectoral demand (WG3).
UBITECH undertakes the scientific and technical coordination of the MATILDA Innovation Action on 5G-ready applications orchestration over sliced programmable infrastructure
UBITECH is hosting the kick-off meeting, in Athens, Greece (July 5-6, 2017) of the MATILDA 5G-PPP Innovation Action, officially started on June 1st, 2017 – undertaking the scientific and technical leadership of the research project’s activities. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 761898) and spans on the period June 2017 – November 2019. The MATILDA project aims to deliver a novel holistic 5G end-to-end services operational framework tackling the overall lifecycle of design, development and orchestration of 5G-ready applications and 5G network services over programmable infrastructure, following a unified programmability model and a set of control abstractions. MATILDA aims to devise and realize a radical shift in the development of software for 5G-ready applications as well as virtual and physical network functions and network services, through the adoption of a unified programmability model, the definition of proper abstractions and the creation of an open development environment that may be used by application as well as network functions developers. Intelligent and unified orchestration mechanisms are going to be applied for the automated placement of the 5G-ready applications and the creation and maintenance of the required network slices.
