UBITECH has participated in the Athens kick-off meeting of the PaaSport research project, officially started on December 1st, 2013. The project is partially funded by European Commission under FP7 Research for SME Associations programme (Grant Agreement No 605193) and runs in the period December 2013-November 2016.
The PaaSport project, fostering the creation of a “semantically-enhanced marketplace of interoperable platform-as-a-service offerings for the deployment and migration of business applications of SMEs”, focuses on resolving the data and application portability issues that exist in the Cloud PaaS market through a flexible and efficient deployment and migration approach.
UBITECH has introduced in PaaSport the concept of “Semantically Interoperable PaaS Solutions”, as Cloud PaaS systems and offerings with the ability to overcome the semantic incompatibilities and communicate, referring to the ability of applications and their data to seamlessly be deployed on and/or migrated between Cloud PaaS offerings that are using the same technological background but different data (information) models and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Moreover, the role of UBITECH in PaaSport aims at the implementation of a set of CAMP-compatible adapters for PaaS platforms that handles mainly the deployment, undeployment, start, stop and migration of an application on a selected PaaS offering. Finally, UBITECH will utilize the corporate Cloud infrastructure, comprised of an openstack and a cloudfoundry deployment, for the support and execution of value-added demonstrators and scenarios proving the business benefits of the PaaSport concepts and tools.

UBITECH has participated in the kick-off meeting that took place in Athens of the LinDA research project officially started on December 1st, 2013. The project is partially funded by European Commission under FP7-ICT research programme (Grant Agreement No 610565) and runs in the period December 2013-November 2015.
UBITECH has been selected as a National Champion representing Greece for the RSM Entrepreneur of the Year Award category (that is the main awards’ category) in the 2013/14 European Business Awards (that is the Europe’s largest awards programme).
A scientific paper entitled “Molecular Clustering via Knowledge Mining from Biomedical Scientific Corpora” has been accepted for oral presentation at the 13th IEEE International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE 2013), which is held in Chania, Greece, at November 10-13, 2013. Panagiotis Hasapis, Dimitrios Ntalaperas, Dimitrios Alexandrou, Thanassis Bouras and their co-authors argue for a novel architecture that allows the extraction of argumentation clauses that might exist in publications, in order to perform molecular clustering on referenced molecules. Grammar rules are defined and used to identify sentences corresponding to argumentation being present in publications. The references of those molecules are then compiled as lists that include their structure definition in SMILES format. These lists are given as input to virtual screening tools and then to a molecular clustering tool, with the ultimate goal to classify molecules that are known to be prone to specific diseases, thus leading to the discovery of new drugs.
The ongoing EC co-funded LinkedDesign FP7 IP project presents its scope, objectives and intermediate results at the ICT 2013 event in Vilnius. Addressing the need for collaborative ICT in manufacturing design and product lifecycle management, the Linked Engineering and mAnufacturing Platform (LEAP) of LinkedDesign federates all product lifecycle information relevant to drive engineering and manufacturing processes, independent of its format, location, originator, and time of creation. Apart from the unified access to the integrated information, LEAP will provide specific knowledge exploitation solutions like sentiment analysis and design decision support systems to analyse the integrated information. Find us at the advanced research stand of LinkedDesign during 6th-8th November, 2013, at the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre LITEXPO, located in Zone R3 industry and business for tomorrow, Stand 4E5.
The successfully completed EC co-funded GRANATUM FP7 project demonstrates the final integrated platform produced, at the ICT 2013 event in Vilnius. The GRANATUM platform constitutes a social collaborative working environment for semantically interlinking biomedical researchers, knowledge and data, and targets at the joint, cooperative design and execution of in-silico models and experiments in the cancer chemoprevention biology domain. The demonstration booth of GRANATUM will be active during 6th-8th November, 2013, and can be found at the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre LITEXPO, located in Zone R3 industry and business for tomorrow, Stand 4C4.
UBITECH attends the “ICT 2013 – Create, Connect, Grow” event, in Vilnius, Lithuania on 6-8 November 2013.
