HEROES

Novel Strategies to Fight Child Sexual Exploitation and Human Trafficking Crimes and Protect their Victims
Η εμπορία ανθρώπων και η σεξουαλική κακοποίηση και εκμετάλλευση παιδιών είναι δύο μεγάλα προβλήματα στην κοινωνία μας. Νέες τεχνολογίες πληροφοριών και επικοινωνιών έχουν δώσει, ακούσια, χώρο στην ανάπτυξη αυτών των προβλημάτων, λαμβάνοντας νέες μορφές, που επιδεινώθηκαν από τον περιορισμό και το κλείσιμο που έφερε η πανδημία COVID-19. Την ίδια στιγμή, τεχνικά και νομικά εργαλεία διαθέσιμα σε ενδιαφερόμενους φορείς που εμποδίζουν, διερευνούν και βοηθούν τα θύματα - όπως υπηρεσίες επιβολής του νόμου, εισαγγελείς, δικαστές και οργανώσεις της κοινωνίας των πολιτών αδυνατούν να συμβαδίσουν με τον ρυθμό με τον οποίο οι εγκληματίες χρησιμοποιούν τις νέες τεχνολογίες για να συνεχίσουν τις αποτρόπαιες πράξεις τους. Επιπλέον, η βοήθεια στα θύματα περιορίζεται συχνά από την έλλειψη συντονισμού μεταξύ των ενδιαφερομένων. Υπό αυτήν την έννοια, υπάρχει σαφής και ζωτική ανάγκη για κοινές μεθοδολογίες εργασίας και την ανάπτυξη νέων στρατηγικών για την προσέγγιση και την παροχή βοήθειας στα θύματα. Επίσης, λόγω της διασυνοριακής φύσης αυτών των εγκλημάτων, η εναρμόνιση των νομικών πλαισίων με καθεμία από τις πληγείσες χώρες είναι απαραίτητη για τη δημιουργία γεφυρών επικοινωνίας και συντονισμού μεταξύ όλων αυτών των ενδιαφερομένων για να βοηθήσουν τα θύματα και να μειώσουν την εμφάνιση των τρομερών αυτών εγκλημάτων. Για την αντιμετώπιση αυτών των προκλήσεων, το έργο HEROES διαθέτει μία  προσέγγιση φιλόδοξη, διεπιστημονική, διεθνή και επικεντρωμένη στα θύματα. Το έργο HEROES είναι δομημένο ως μια ολοκληρωμένη λύση που περιλαμβάνει τρία βασικά στοιχεία: Πρόληψη, Έρευνα και Βοήθεια για τα Θύματα. Μέσω αυτών των στοιχείων, η λύση που επιδιώκουμε στοχεύει στην καθιέρωση μιας συντονισμένης προσπάθειας με τις υπηρεσίες επιβολής του νόμου, αναπτύσσοντας μια κατάλληλη προσέγγιση με επίκεντρο τα θύματα, ικανή να αντιμετωπίσει συγκεκριμένες ανάγκες και να παρέχει προστασία. Ο κύριος στόχος του έργου HEROES είναι να χρησιμοποιήσει την τεχνολογία για την βελτίωση του τρόπου με τον οποίο μπορεί να παρέχεται βοήθεια και υποστήριξη στα θύματα εμπορίας ανθρώπων και σεξουαλικής κακοποίησης και εκμετάλλευσης παιδιών.

TAILTEST

Development of a multipurpose test rig and validation of an innovative rotorcraft vertical tail
The main objectives of the current proposal, aligned to the respective topic description, are:
  • To perform structural tests and FE models validation to support the certification process of an innovative rotorcraft vertical tail.
  • To develop, apply and validate advanced numerical models for the simulation of debonding propagation in adhesively bonded or welded structural joints.
In order to achieve the above mentioned main objectives, a number of intermediate steps have been identified:
  • To design and manufacture an innovative multipurpose test rig to be used for testing a full-scale rotorcraft fin, as well as, parts of the fin structure like the spar-to-skin joints. The developed test rig will include a load application mechanism able to apply loads representative for rotorcraft tail structures. Moreover, the test rig will be designed in a way that a variable stiffness of the fuselage to fin joint can be achieved.
  • To perform structural tests on a rotorcraft vertical tail, up to ultimate load for at least the representative load cases, applying an adequate number of conventional measuring sensors like strain gages (SGs) and Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs)or more sophisticated contactless strain measurement systems (e.g. Digital Image Correlation - DIC).

ENERMAN envisions the factory as a living organism that can manage its energy consumption in an autonomous way. It will create an Energy sustainability management framework collecting data from the factory and holistically process them to create dedicated energy sustainability metrics. These values will be used to predict energy trends using industrial processes, equipment and energy cost models. ENERMAN will deliver an autonomous, intelligent decision support engine that will evaluate the predicted trends and access if they match predefined energy consumption sustainability KPIs. If the KPIs are not met, ENERMAN will suggest and implement changes in energy affected production lines control processes: an energy aware flexible control loop on various factory processes will be deployed. The ENERMAN administrators will be able to use the above mechanisms in order to identify how future changes in the production lines can impact energy sustainability using the ENERMAN prediction engine (based on digital twins) to visualize possible sustainability results when in-factory changes are made in equipment, production line. The ENERMAN digital twin will predict the economic cost of the consumed energy based on the collected and predicted Energy Peak load tariff, Renewable Energy System self-production, the variations in demand response, possible virtual generation and prosumer aggregation. Finally, ENERMAN considers the operators actions within the production chain as part of a factory’s energy fingerprint since their activity within the factory impacts the various production lines. In ENERMAN, we include a training mechanism with suggested personnel good practices for energy sustainability improvement through the production lines. Current and predicted energy consumption/sustainability trends on specific assets of the factory are collected and visualized in a Virtual, eXtended reality model of the factory to enhance the situational energy awareness of the factory personnel.

SUSTAINABLE

Stop running, stop and start using our knowledge to be reachable

SUSTAINABLE strategic goal is to test and validate new edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems as a Decision Support System, on sound economic and technical basis, for suitable precision agriculture management procedures according to the specific climate, geographical and environment conditions. Having a novel tool to face adversities in agriculture, especially in developing countries, will produce positive effects in the global economy (maintaining the cost of agricultural products), will reduce the scale of economic emigration (often due to one or several years of low crop) and will help distribute more evenly richness across the planet. The strength of this project is the multidisciplinary integration of competences together with the validation of project result in a real environment.

Making modern embedded systems faster and less power hungry by parallelization
 
Writing parallel programs has traditionally been considered a difficult task, even when parallelism is taken into account from the beginning. Moreover there is an urgent need to parallelize the massive amounts of legacy sequential code so as to increase its performance on processors and systems that refocus from single-thread acceleration to increasing the overall throughput. At the same time, memory (in particular cache) performance is essential to achieve the full gain from a parallelized application. However, while processor architecture tends to be relatively standard across applications within a domain, huge performance and power improvements can be achieved by tailoring the cache architecture to the application at hand, and not just to an entire domain.
 
The HEAP project faces these challenges directly, by developing:
  1. An innovative toolset that helps software developers profile and parallelize existing sequential implementations by exploiting top-level pipeline-style parallelism. 
  2. A highly configurable cache architecture that can be tailored to an application by using the same profiling data as those that were used for parallelization, in order to fully exploit the available computing power.
When compared with the existing single-cache coherency architectures and the existing, mainly manual, parallelizing approaches, the end-product of HEAP (i.e. the novel architecture combined with the innovative toolset) is expected to: a) reduce the time for parallelizing sequential applications by 20% b) reduce the energy consumed for the memory coherency operations by 20% and c) increase the performance of the memory coherency systems by 20%.
 
The HEAP framework directly addresses two distinct multi-billion application areas (a) High Performance Computing and (b) Multi-core Embedded Systems. In both fields it is expected that the impact of HEAP will be significant worldwide; this claim is supported by the fact that the HEAP results will be internally exploited by two of the largest semiconductor companies in the world  (STM and Thales), as well as a large scale Information Systems Provider (Singular Logic) and an SME (Synelixis). Moreover, the commercial version of the toolset will be exploited by two additional software tool-providers (ACE  and Compaan Design). Moreover, HEAP-based multi-core systems are expected to help closing the digital gap in Europe, while mainly the open-source version of the toolset will reinforce European competitiveness in the areas of Parallelizing toolsets and the new innovative platforms will help extending existing service offerings to the EU citizens.
