We are entering the Cyber-Physical age, in which both objects and people will become nodes of the same digital network for exchanging information. Therefore, in our imaginary, the general expectation is that things or systems will become somewhat smart as people, allowing rapid and close interactions not only system-system, but also human-system, system-human.
The main objective is to create IOStack: a Software Defined Storage toolkit for Big Data on top of the OpenStack platform. IOStack will enableefficient execution of virtualized analytics applications over virtualized storage resources thanks to flexible, automated, and low cost datamanagement models based on software defined storage (SDS). Major challenges...
The consortium of this European Training Network (ETN) "BigStorage: Storage-based Convergence between HPC and Cloud to handle Big Data will train future data scientists in order to enable them and us to apply holistic and interdisciplinary approaches for taking advantage of a data overwhelmed world, which requires HPC and Cloud infrastructures with a redefinition of storage...
Computer simulations are taking over in design processes. Nevertheless, complex projects will largely benefit from human intuition and team-work. We combined computer and human power into the next generation of fully interactive computational tools for drug design.
The goal of eDRUG was to prove the potential of this novel computational solution in the...
The objective of the RETHINK big project was to bring together the key European system architects and consumers of Big Data systems, to describe a coherent vision that will highlight the various business and technical challenges within the EU, and to achieve success by addressing the need of EU for processing and analysis of Big Data over the next 10 years.

El Instituto Nacional de Bioinformática (INB) es una plataforma que fue fundada por Genoma España en el año 2003 con el objetivo de fomentar el desarrollo de la bioinformática en España. Desde el año 2010 el INB se organiza como una plataforma tecnológica del ISCIII. Desde su creación el INB ha sido evaluado por paneles...
In the next decade, EU industries developing Critical Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES) (safety, mission or business critical) will face a once-in-a-life-time disruptive challenge caused by the transition to multicore processors and the advent of manycores, tantamount to complex networked systems. This challenge brings the opportunity to integrate multiple applications onto...
The Mont-Blanc project aims to develop a European Exascale approach leveraging on commodity power-efficient embedded technologies. The project has developed a HPC system software stack on ARM, and will deploy the first integrated ARM-based HPC prototype by 2014, and is also working on a set of 11 scientific applications to be ported and tuned to the prototype system.
Adapting Service lifeCycle towards EfficienT (ASCETiC) was focused on providing novel methods and tools to support software developers aiming to optimise energy efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint resulting from designing, developing, deploying, and running software in Clouds. At the same time, quality of service, experience and perception was taken into account, so...
Data-centres form the central brains and store for the Information Society and are a key resource for innovation and leadership. The key challenge has recently moved from just delivering the required performance, to include consuming reduced energy and lowering cost of ownership. Together, these create an inflection point that provides a big opportunity for Europe, which...
