This page contains information related to all research projects that I have been involved until now. Each project is briefly presented and then I try to swiftly present my involvement through videos, papers and presentations. Live Video-to-Video Supporting Interactive City Infrastructure LiveCity (Live Video-to-Video Supporting Interactive City Infrastructure) is a CIP-Pilot Action of the European Commission. LiveCity addresses a number of communities where the citizen of a city have specific challenges which can derive benefits from the use of live interactive high definition video-to-video. These communities include emergency ambulances; hospitals, doctors, museum curators, city administrations and schools. Today live interactive high definition video-to-video is becoming possible with a range of devices and applications. These are well supported in private networks owned by enterprises where quality of service is available. For a mass market in the cities quality of services is missing in the public internet. LiveCity implements a range of pilots for city communities across the public internet. We build a wireline and 4G wireless network of 4 cities and include a right of way without interference from unwanted traffic so that each user in can experience live interactive high definition video-to-video. UoA is involved in the implementation of a telemonitoring use case with the othalmological clinic of the Attikon hospital. Also, UoA has the management and technical overview of the WP2 which implements the LiveCity concepts in the health sector and in particular in emergency situations (ambulances and ER units). Main duties and responsibilities
The SmartAgriFood project is part of the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP) program and addresses farming, agri-logistics and food awareness as a use case for this. The intelligence, efficiency, sustainability and performance of the agri-food sector can be radically enhanced by using information & decision support systems that are tightly integrated with advanced internet-based networks & services. Concurrently, the sector provides use cases for Future Internet design from physical layer all the way up to the service layer. Main duties and responsibilities
COoperative aNd Self growing Energy awaRe Networks CONSERN (COoperative aNd Self growing Energy awaRe Networks) is a Specifc Targeted Research Project (STREP) of the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission, addressing (i)the Wireless Sensor Networks and Cooperating Objects and (ii)the Control of large-scale systems pillars of the Strategic Objective ICT-2009.3.5 "Engineering of Networked Monitoring and Control systems. CONSERN is introducing a novel paradigm for dedicated, purpose-driven small scale wireless networks characterized by a service-centric evolutionary approach, referred here as an energy-aware self-growing network and system. In the context of CONSERN, the Self-Growing network paradigm considers (i) mechanisms for energy efficient interaction of the wireless network elements and (ii) mechanisms for the reliable and efficient evolvement towards later lifecycle phases. A Self-Growing network is set up on-demand and is initially dedicated to a single purpose such monitoring and/or control. Self-growing can be applied on large scale, distributed and cooperative systems, including, for example, construction sites, and delivering wireless services within a complex home/office environment requiring network parameter negotiation with a multitude of neighbouring networks, etc. In the course of its lifecycle, it may coexist and cooperate with other wireless networks of distinct owners and interest groups evolving in the deployment area using or augmenting existing capacity in order to either serve additional purposes (e.g. in case of an emergency) or optimising under a specific purpose. CONSERN facilitates the emergence of mechanisms achieving energy efficient, robust, predictable and self-adaptive operation for future networked systems by considering mechanisms and methods for autonomic (design- and run-time) energy optimisations as well as cooperative energy aware behaviour of the distributed system nodes. Main duties and responsibilities
Self- Management of Cognitive Future Internet Self-NET (Self-Management of Cognitive Future InterNET Elements - ICT-224344 ) aims to design, develop and validate an innovative paradigm for cognitive self-managed elements of the Future Internet. Self-NET shall engineer the Future Internet based on cognitive behaviour with a high degree of autonomy, by proposing the operation of self-managed Future Internet elements around a novel feedback-control cycle. Self-NET shall embed new management capabilities into network elements in order to take advantage of the increasing knowledge that characterises the daily operation of mobile Future Internet users. The consortium shall develop innovative cross-layer design optimisation approaches that alleviate the shortcomings and duplication of functionalities in different protocol layers of the present IP stack. Furthermore, Self-NET shall provide a peer-to-peer style distribution of responsibilities among self-governed elements of the Future Internet, therefore overcoming the barrier of current client-server and proxy-based models in the operation of mobility management, broadcast/multicast, and quality of service mechanisms. Main duties and responsibilities
End-to-End Efficiency (E3 - ICT-216248) is aiming at integrating cognitive wireless systems in the Beyond 3G (B3G) world, evolving current and future heterogeneous wireless system infrastructures into an integrated, scalble and efficiently managed B3G cognitive system framework from a technical, regulatory, standardisation and business perspective. The key objective of the E3 project is to design, develop, prototype and showcase solutions for optimised usage of existing and future radio access resources. In particular, more flexible use of frequency spectrum, terminals, base stations and networks is addressed. Main duties and responsibilities
End to End Reconfigurability - Phase 2 Building on the successful developments of the first phase, End-to-End Reconfigurability Phase II (E2R II - IST-2005-027714) will demonstrate and validate technologies that enable a true seamless experience based on reconfigurable heterogeneous systems. The project will pursue research into the most promising directions towards removing walls (current technical and regulatory limitations) and building bridges (technical) in order to facilitate the vision of true end-to-end connectivity. E2R is seen by many actors of the wireless industry as a core technology to enable the full potential of Beyond 3G systems. It has the potential to revolutionize wireless communications just as the PC revolutionized computing. Main duties and responsibilities
The End-to-End Reconfigurability (E2R - IST-2003-507995) project aims at bringing full benefits of the valuable diversity within the Radio Eco-Space, composed of wide range of systems such as Cellular, Wireless Local Area and Broadcast. The key objective of the E2R project is to devise, develop and trial architectural design of reconfigurable devices and supporting system functions to offer an expanded set of operational choices to the users, applications and service providers, operators, regulators in the context of heterogeneous mobile radio systems.
