Our team offers effective advanced contribution and reliable consortiums for the Horizon 2020 and other EU programmes for 2018 as well as other internationally funded Research, Development and Innovation (RDI). The study and prototyping work packages cover design, modelling and piloting intelligent sustainable digital transformation systems and can contribute different call topics such as ICT, SCC, SC5, SwafS, BB, MG, FCH, FOF, IoT, LEIT, SPACE, ENSUF, Smart, Green and integrated transport, CO-CREATION (circular economy, integrated management and governance, big data, measurement and benchmarking), CIRC, Health Programme (human health modelling, measurement, analytics, assessment automation). 

The diversity of the optional project areas result from the underlying novel modelling of real world complex socioeconomic-cyber-physical systems and its linking with smart everything, including IoT, sensors, information systems, robotics. The models running in cloud enable digital transformation of the big data streams into rich set of customized value added data driven information services and controls for target stakeholders using the relevant mobile applications, dashboards, interactive reports and multimodal communications applications. The basic prototype models of Smart City and Smart Enterprise are available online at this portal for as demo samples.

The team participate in projects as a Consortium Partner responsible for relevant work packages and tasks.

Contribution to the H2020 and other internationally funded projects

The contribution will include site-wide and cross-sectorial design methodology for complex sustainable processes and systems, and its management supported by novel advanced ICT tools for modeling of complex Sustainable Socioeconomic-Cyber-Physical IoT systems (SCPS) and its use for digital transformation that take into consideration all relevant  technological, financial, environmental, social, business, managerial, regulatory demands and other aspects. The work packages and tasks content shall include:

1. Design and development of the Generic Model for the target SCPS providing transparency to all operational processes and levels of system hierarchy based on custom KPIs and methods of intelligent prognostics of change trends and condition monitoring and motivating new design practice for the manufacturing industries 
2. Identification and implementation of artificial intelligence in the smart solutions including predictive and prescriptive analytics, machine self-learning, condition monitoring, and smart self-control of system sustainability at different levels of its SCPS structure.
3. Design and implementation of the Generic SCPS Model instances at the demo pilot sites and its linking to actual data sources, sensors, IoT, local information management systems (SCADAs, ERPs, robotics, vehicles, monitoring, etc)
4. Implementation of intelligent engines running the generic model instances at demos sites in cloud (or at-site) enabling real time digital transformation of big data streams into information services and controls in compliance with major international standards
5. Design and development of interactive instruments for model building, instances administration, information services and controls for main stakeholder groups (dashboards, interactive reports, mobile apps, multimodal human interfaces for new generation of gadgets in 2D/3D, voice and artificial intelligence communications)
6. Testing, experimenting, prototyping, validating, training and supporting the pilots after the project end, optional certification of the project results and system implementation

The approach is based on the following principles:

• The team contributes with the advanced ICT platform Pharos Navigator as basic proof-of-concept prototype developed with Open Source software components
• The platform runs the open model of target SCPS which can be easily updated by application system owners accordingly to its evolving requirements and infrastructure
• The generic model structure and digital transformation information services and controls are developed in collaboration with partners representing demo pilot sites and main stakeholder user groups including administration, business services providers accordingly to end user requirements and relevant technical specifications.  
• The local data sources on-sites are studied, prepared and linked to the transformation engine by local partners accordingly to the agreed terms and requirements including access rights and legal issues

Reseach, Development and Innovation aims are at delviering reliable advanced TRL prototypes and its demostration.

The projects may include the following additional optional topics:

• New model-centric and predictive engineering methods and tools for implementation of high level models of complex cyber-physical systems and systems of systems with a high degree of autonomy ensuring adaptability, scalability, complexity management, security and safety, and providing trust to humans in the loop
• Study and implementing of new methods of digital transformation of big data streams from large number of diverse smart everything in real time in particular application areas into diverse information services and control actions, sustainability and optimization applications providing simple holistic information and drill-down details
• Research and prototyping of new digital services presenting complex information content to various stakeholders (e.g. in management and local governance, business management and daily life activities and processes to meet the requirements of operational simplicity, efficiency and sustainability
• Enabling novel information services and life patterns fostering new business models and inclusive value added services to citizens and tourists in urban areas enriching quality of life and introducing new sources of revenue for city budgets, digital economy options for the local city business entities
• Research and prototyping innovative yet simple in use methods of Smart Governance improving the culture, sustainability and efficiency of administration, facilitating future business models, Smart Enterprises, E-health services, energy-friendly solutions, digital buildings and homes, schools, transport, horizontal services
