RePort pretén com objectiu genèric una atrevida innovació tecnològica de conversió de motors Diesel a motors Dual-Fuel amb Gas Natural Vehicular i un sistema de seguiment dels vehicles d alt nivell tecnològic amb la finalitat de crear una xarxa logística al Port de Barcelona i rodalies amb un combustible alternatiu que...

Producing trustworthy interannual to decadal climate predictions constitutes a societal challenge with numerous socio-economic applications (agriculture, energy, health, water resources, insurance). Climate is, for example, one of the key factors that influences grape and wine production affecting the suitability of certain grape varieties to a particular region as well as...

For all the superior features that low-power computing systems exhibit compared to conventional high-end server designs, there is a common design axiom that both technological trends are based on: the main-board and its hardware components form the baseline, monolithic building block that the rest of the hw/sw stack design builds upon. This proportionality of...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem, affecting 55 million European citizens. T2D ensues in individuals who develop a progressive pancreatic beta cell failure. T2D probably comprises a heterogeneous group of diseases. A new molecular taxonomy of T2D is essential for the development of medical care that is predictive, preventive and personalized. Currently...

EUrope-BRAzil Collaboration on ´BIG Data Scientific REsearch thorugh Cloud-Centric Applications´ aims to provide services in the cloud for the processing of massive data coming from highly connected societies, which impose multiple challenges on resource provision, performance, Quality of Service and privacy. Processing those data require rapidly provisioned...

HiPEAC is a support action that aims to structure and strengthen the European academic and industrial communities in computing systems: (i) by increasing innovation awareness and by encouraging researchers to engage in innovation activities; (ii) by professionally disseminating program achievements beyond the traditional scientific venues; (iii) by producing a vision document...

Computer systems have faced significant power challenges over the past 20 years; these challenges have shifted from the devices and circuitslevel, to their current position as first-order constraints for system architects and software developers. TANGO s goal is to characterise factorswhich affect power consumption in software development and operation for heterogeneous...

El proyecto está dirigido a contribuir al desarrollo de la fusión nuclear como fuente de energía segura, limpia y prácticamente ilimitada. Se dirige al ITER, un proyecto internacional de I+D en fusión nuclear, que se está construyendo en Francia, el mayor reactor experimental de fusión nuclear del mundo. ITER pretende demostrar...

C3S project that aims to develop climate indicators that can be useful for the energy industry. It will bring together the complementary expertise of 7 climate research and service centers and 10 energy practitioners to demonstrate, from case studies, the value chain from Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) to actionable information in the energy sector. It will deliver 9...

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) rate as the primary natural disaster in the context of causing death, destruction and economic loss. The impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and Sandy on New York testify to their destructive capacity: they have caused combined damage reaching close to $200 billions and consequences of these storms, particularly Katrina, can still be felt to...
