Production and distribution of food during the Roman Empire: Economics and political dynamics (EPNET)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

The project aims at detecting and defining the political and economic dynamics of the Roman Empire trade system by designing and implementing an experimental laboratory to explore different historical hypoteses through computer simulations. Empirical data will be used to correct and validate the results of the simulations and define rigourous and falsifiable models of ancient trade sytems.The Roma ...

Riding on Moore's Law (RoMoL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

The most common interpretation of Moore's Law is that the number of components on a chip and accordingly the computer performance doubles every two years. At the end of the 20th century, when clock frequencies stagnated at ~3 GHz, and instruction level parallelism reached the phase of diminishing returns, industry turned towards multiprocessors, and thread level parallelism. However, too much of t ...

More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

European Exascale Software Initiative 2\nTowards exascale roadmap implementation (EESI2)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The use of High Performance Computing (HPC) is commonly recognized a key strategic element both in research and industry for an improvement of the understanding of complex phenomena. The constant growth of generated data - Big Data - and computing capabilities of extreme systems lead to a new generation of computers composed of millions of heterogeneous cores which will provide Exaflop performance ...

Research Data Alliance Europe (RDA Europe)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Over the last 10 years, significant investments have been made in both the European Union and the USA for developing scientific data infrastructures to support the work of research communities, and in improving shared access to data. On both sides of the Atlantic, there is a shared understanding that solutions must be global and that the development of an integrated and interoperable data domain c ...

Diffuse-Optical Monitor of Cerebral Hemodynamics after rtPA Administration in Acute Ischemic Stroke (RTPAMON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and long term disability in Europe and United States and one of the leading causes of death. The intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) is the premier drug indicated for treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Current guidelines call for its administration within the first ~three hours of the stroke onset (now being extended ...
