Towards the dependable cloud: Building the foundations for tomorrow's dependable cloud computing (DependableCloud)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Cloud computing is being increasingly adopted by individuals, organizations, and governments. However, as the computations that are offloaded to the cloud expand to societal-critical services, the dependability requirements of cloud services become much higher, and we need to ensure that the infrastructure that supports these services is ready to meet these requirements. In particular, this propos ...

Integrative Smart City Planning (INSMART)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The InSMART concept brings together cities, scientific and industrial organizations in order to establish and implement a comprehensive methodology for enhancing sustainable planning addressing the current and future city energy needs through an integrative and multidisciplinary planning approach. This approach will identify the optimum mix of short, medium and long term measures for a sustainable ...

Large-scale computation without synchronisation (SyncFree)

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

The goal of SyncFree is to enable large-scale distributed applications without global synchronisation, by exploiting the recent concept of Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). CRDTs allow unsynchronised concurrent updates, yet ensure data consistency. This revolutionary approach maximises responsiveness and availability; it enables locating data near its users, in decentralised clouds.Glob ...

Exploitation of oily wastes for the simultaneous production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and rhamnolipids (RLs) (SIMPHASRLS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,

In order to reduce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production cost we propose the simultaneous production of PHAs and other high value-added products such as rhamnolipids (RLs). The aim of the certain project is to investigate the ability of non-pathogenic bacteria to produce PHAs and RLs simultaneously. Factors that affect both biosynthetic pathways will be detected (composition and concentration of ...

CO2 - Loop for Energy storage and conversion to Organic chemistry Processes through advanced catalytic Systems (CEOPS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

CEOPS project will focus on a sustainable approach for the production of methanol from CO2, which is a precursor for fine chemicals products. The approach will reinforce the link between large CO2 emitters and fine chemical industries at the European level. The concept relies on two chemical pathways, CO2 to CH4 and CH4 to CH3OH with the intermediate carbon vector: methane. Methane benefits from t ...

Optimization of Perennial Grasses for Biomass Production (OPTIMA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

OPTIMA will integrate an ambitious biology system approach for perennial grasses such as switchgrass, miscanthus and giant reed in the Mediterranean environment. Moreover the perennial species cardoon, which has been proven to be particularly adapted to the Mediterranean climate, will be used as a control species.The main objective of the OPTIMA project is to identify high-yielding perennial grass ...

International Network on Integrated Techniques in Structural Elucidation (INTECHSE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Structural determination of complex chemical compounds is a difficult task and involves the combined use of several tools rooted in different physical principles, many of them classify like spectroscopies as they involve interaction between molecules and electromagnetic radiationWe propose a research program based in 3 major topics in configurational and conformational molecular elucidation. The 1 ...

Advanced Amorphous Multicomponent Oxides for Transparent Electronics (INVISIBLE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Imagine having a fully transparent and flexible, foldable, low cost, displays or at the glass window of your home/office, a transparent electronic circuit, do you believe on that? Maybe you are asking me if I am writing science fiction. No I am not. In fact this is a very ambitious objective but is tangible in the framework of this project due to the already acquired experience in the development ...

Printable Organic-Inorganic Transparent Semiconductor Devices (POINTS)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Europe is targeting a global leadership in the field of printed electronics (PE). This industry is expected to grow to a market size of 47 billion USD by 2018 (Figure 1) with a long-time potential of 300 billion USD by 2030 as estimated by IDTechEx [1,2,48]. The growth rates of the PE industry are expected to be comparable to those of silicon industry in past (inset of Figure 1). This is an ambiti ...
