UBITECH presents how XAI enhances data trustworthiness in crowd sensing systems at IEEE DCOSS-IoT 2023

After a peer review process, a scientific paper from UBITECH’s Digital Security and Trusted Computing research group has been accepted for publication at the 19th Annual International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart Systems and the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT 2023) that takes place in Cyprus, at the Coral Bay near the city of Pafos. UBITECH’s Dr Dimitrios Papamartzivanos, Entso Veliou, Dr Thanassis Giannetsos (Head of Group) and their co-authors suggest that the usage of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) can lead to even more efficient performance as they tackle the limitation of conventional black box models, by enabling the understanding and interpretation of a model’s operation.

UBITECH presents a scientific paper on PKI and DAA-Based Architectures for V2X Communication Security at IEEE VNC 2023

Dr Thanassis Giannetsos, Head of UBITECH’s Digital Security & Trusted Computing Research Group, and his co-authors present an extended comparative technical evaluation of PKI and DAA-Based Architectures for V2X Communication Security at the 2023 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) that is held from April 26-28, 2023, in Istanbul, Türkiye. In particular, as the emerging Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) landscape is expanding in terms of security and trust requirements, to provide the necessary enablers for the safety of critical operations (i.e., collision avoidance), Public Key Infrastructure (PKIs) and Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) schemes have been proposed by the literature, in order to provide authenticity over the exchanged messages. DAA schemes can help address several challenges of centralized PKIs by offering a more scalable solution for pseudonym certificate reloading and revocation.

Successful Search & Rescue Technical Review Meeting

The Technical Review Meeting of the Search & Rescue action was completed online on the 2nd of March with great success. During the meeting, the progress of the project and the outstanding technical work carried out during the last year was presented by the WP leaders and relevant Task leaders in a collaborative atmosphere. In the same spirit, the EU Project Officer together with 2 experts from the field provided their constructive feedback about the ongoing activities and expressed their enthusiasm about the outcomes and the project’s potential in the area of crisis management. In particular, the Search and Rescue project aims to design, implement and test through a series of large scale pilot scenarios a highly interoperable, modular open architecture platform for first responders or emergency response units in critical conditions, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks etc.

QUBITECH team drives the activities of the HoloCIM research action towards the realization of a holography based photonic Ising Machine

QUBITECH’s partners, Dr Alexis Askitopoulos and Dr Simos Tsintzos, participate at the kick-off meeting, hosted by the University of Cyprus at its campus in Nicosia (February 21, 2023), of the HoloCIM action funded under the CO-DEVELOP programme – that is part of the Research and Innovation Foundation‘s RESTART Programmes for Research, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Cyprus. The 24-month HoloCIM project, spanning the period February 2023 – January 2025, proposes a holography based photonic Ising Machine that utilizes and enhances newly established holographic and nonlinear photonics principles for the efficient solution of combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). The latter cannot be efficiently solved with modern digital computer architectures. HoloCIM aims to create an online user interface to be scientifically and commercially used from interested parties such as research institutions, academia, and industry.
