Projects

The project aims to show that finding cooperative structures in dense sensor networks may substitute conventional robot based exploration. This hypothesis follows the fact that in practice, the number of surrounding networked sensors increases very quickly.
These networks might comprise any number of virtual cores of the whole sensor set targeted towards some temporal focus of interest without any external (human) control. With these developments come new challenges, e.g. finding the coherence among different modalities and arbitrary distributions.

Within this project a new microbiological measuring device has been developed that combines the fluorescent detection of objects with the digital holographic microscopes provided extended depth of fields and medium spatial resolutions. This way we have built a device that is able to detect the position of the fluorescent objects, which can be auto-fluorescent ones (containing e.g. chlorophyll, phycocyanin) or marked by fluorescent dies, and based the simultaneously recorded hologram the medium resolution image of these objects are also reconstructed.

The main goal of RECONFIGURE is to investigate and develop aircraft guidance and control (G&C) technologies that facilitate the automated handling of off-nominal/abnormal events and optimize the aircraft status and flight.

The automatism of the G&C will help alleviate the pilots task and optimize performance by automatically reconfiguring the aircraft to its optimal flight condition. This automatism and optimization must be performed while maintaining the current aircraft safety levels.

Main objective is to involve and engage in long-term significantly more citizens and new communities in the volunteer and private (campus-wide or enterprise) Distributed Computing Infrastructures by supporting the rapid creation, efficient operation, and dynamic expansion of this type of DCIs for e-Science. Coordinate and synchronise the dissemination and support activities of major European stakeholders of volunteer and Desktop Grids with focus on the International Desktop Grid Federation.

The aim of our work is to develop three-dimensional real space experience giving 3D websites. We have several options for the three-dimensional visualization that we have applied in our webpage.
First we used the well-known anaglyph (in our case red-cyan) technique. Our website is unique, because it can display spatial effects of text and images.
Another method that we apply is the side by side technique that requires special tools, but this method is the most effective for 3D immersion. The colour saturation is not reduced, the pictures are very realistic.

Creating a unique solution for comparing cloud services. The cloud services are very diverse, the providers use various hardware and software solutions. The task is to compare these and to create a necessary know-how for these. During this research we elaborate such processes that will be able to compare cloud systems, which use different kind of hardware and software, in terms of safety, availability and price.

The NextGeneration project aims at the re-thinking of the terms scientific publication and scientific journal and researching the new generation of publications (multi-layer, enhanced publications, nanopublications, data papers, etc.). We would also like to prepare for a paradigm shift in the handling of primary/raw data, annotations, reviews and open access regarding research papers. A concrete pilot is planned with a Hungarian journal on economics.

The project will focus on the current problems including:

The ER-flow project's aim is to build a European Research Community to promote workflow sharing and to investigate interoperability of the scientific data in workflow sharing.

The project will disseminate the achievements of the FP7 SHIWA project, particularly the coarse-grained workflow interoperability based on the SHIWA Simulation Platform.

BonFIRE will design, build and operate a multi-site Cloud prototype FIRE facility to support research across applications, services and systems at all stages of the R&D lifecycle, targeting the services research community on Future Internet.

Society has reached a point of no return, one that leaves us completely reliant on omnipresent ICT-mediated communication. Mobile and sensor-rich portable devices connect millions of humans with petabytes of data and numerous on-line services. However, tearing down the physical-digital barrier in a scalable fashion requires both radically novel algorithmic knowledge and in-depth understanding of humans and societies.
