Projects

Project Title: OMNI.Net: Computational and Storage Resource Sharing under the .NET Framework.
The explosion of Internet during the last decade has mostly been build around the exchange of information. However, lots of other computational resources, such as computing cycles, disk storage and other networked devices seem to be under-utilized due to various reasons; mainly due to lack of universally acceptable architectures, APIs, protocols, programming models and guaranties to do it in a satisfactory way. This proposal suggests building the core of a platform that will allow the seamless sharing of resources among end-user’s computers, building on existing standards, the P2P paradigm and the .NET framework. Fault tolerance, security and development APIs will be covered in order to provided the desired capability to share processing and storage capacity of end-user PCs and server nodes.

Project Title: Smart Earth
The scope of this application has been the design, deployment and integration of a navigation system which will provide location based services with a personalized way proportionally the preferences and the interests of each user. The system combines the geographical position of user with the behavior, the energies and his profile so as to provide services of added value in the user. The location based services are provided via web services and the personalization is provided via fuzzy logic decisions. The use of web services constitutes alternative way in the growth of navigation systems. It will not be necessary to have applications, which stored the maps of regions, that interest the user or any other geographic information (points of interesting etc). Any information the application needs, will be received by using web services. The determination of place of user becomes via connection with GPS Receiver. Furthermore, the system will provide a personalized way of the information given to the user according to his interests in combination with the analysis of user’s actions on the system, the history and the analysis of the others users’ preferences.

Project Title: iEnergis
iENERGIS application provides remote monitoring and control of the electrical appliances in a building. Through our web site every user can send his data to our live database, and so, with the use of virtual earth, we can monitor the energy consumption in a whole area. These could be used from environmental organisations and energy companies so that to optimize the energy supply in an area and to export statistical data.
