Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization (MINO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Complex decision making in enterprises should involve mathematical optimization methods, because a “best choice” has to be made out of a huge number of feasible options. A mathematical description of such decision processes typically involves both “continuous” and “discrete” decisions. If the latter are present, the customary modelling approach is to use integer variables, which are also used to ...

Understanding and combating human age-related muscle weakness (MYOAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Ageing of skeletal muscle results in a progressive loss of mobility that decreases the quality of life and has major economic and social consequences for society at large. Increasing muscle weakness is a major component of muscle ageing. In the elderly muscles become atrophic (loss in muscle mass) and weaker (loss in muscle force), more susceptible to damage and consequently regenerate and recover ...

OneLab2 : An Open Federated Laboratory Supporting Network Research for the Future Internet (OneLab2)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

Experimentally driven research is key to success in today's Internet. Many test beds support research and development, and product prototyping in communication networks. However, they tend to specialise in particular access technologies or services, or explore near term product offerings, often with limited availability and openness. An open and sustainable large-scale shared experimental facility ...
