(Scientific co-coordinator of the Cyprus participation)
Web-site:
http://ipac.di.uoa.gr
The IPAC (Integrated Platform for Autonomic Computing) proposal aims at delivering
a middleware and service creation environment for developing embedded, intelligent,
collaborative, context-aware services in mobile nodes. IPAC relies on short range
communications for the ad hoc realization of dialogs among collaborating nodes.
Advanced sensing components leverage the context-awareness attributes of IPAC, thus
rendering it capable of delivering highly innovative applications for mobile and
pervasive computing. IPAC networking capabilities are based on rumour spreading
techniques, a stateless and resilient approach, and information dissemination among
embedded nodes. Spreading of information is subject to certain rules (e.g., space,
time, price). IPAC nodes may receive, store, assess and possibly relay the incoming
content to other nodes. The same distribution channel is followed for the dissemination
of new applications and application components that "join the IPAC world".

Linkcare (eTEN 517435):
Web-site:
http://www.linkcarealliance.org
LINKCARE is the project that aims to market validate new competitive services with
a view to link health professionals in emerging care environments.
The main idea for the business case of LinkCare is the provision of services that:
- Facilitate the establishment of an European convergent healthcare system that is
centred on the chronic patients, coordinated across different levels of the health
and community services
- Facilitate ubiquitous and mobile new working practices for health professionals
with a multiplicity of working profiles that, in turn, require interoperability
with existing information resources
LINKCARE will focus, not only on the suitability of the platforms, from the technical
point of view - interoperability, security, standards and regulations -, but also
on the needs and requirements that are specific for the care of patients with chronic
health problems - coordination of professionals across time, centred on the patient,
and collaboration among different levels of care. In the framework of the market
validation, the consortium will run pilot installations, will establish the requirements
to integrate the services in the existing operational/legacy systems, will set up
the training plan to successfully validate the platform and will elaborate the deployment
strategy on the basis of the outcome of the market and business analysis and the
conclusions from the pilots validation. The 3 test sites used for the evaluation
provide common services for patients with chronic conditions. They are HCPB in Spain,
CNRHA in Norway, and LITO in Cyprus.

further enhance UMTS network capacity, RAN and Core network functionalities and
transmission rates, considering both FDD and TDD modes, to accommodate digital broadcasting/multicasting/unicasting
services.
DBGlobe: 2001 - 2003, 130000 ECU, (Rank second in the evaluation
process)
Web-site: http://softsys.cs.uoi.gr/dbglobe/index1.html
The DBGlobe project aims at developing novel data management techniques to deal
with the challenge of global computing. On the premise, global computing is a database
problem: how to design, build and analyse systems that manage large amount of data.
However, the traditional database approach of storing data of interest in monolithic
database management systems becomes obsolete in such environments. In current database
research, data are relatively homogeneous, exhibit a small degree of distribution
(just a few network sites) are passive in that they remain unchanged unless explicitly
updated. All these assumptions do not hold in the global computing world. This creates
the need for new theoretical foundations in all aspects of data management: modelling,
storage and querying.
DITIS, phase II: June 2003 – April 2004. Budget-50,000 USD. (Scientific
coordinator of the Cyprus participation)
Web-site:
http://www.ditis.ucy.ac.cy
The aim of DITIS is to deliver a product that can improve the quality of the citizen´s
life. Contrary to today´s health processing structure which is, in all practical
terms facility-based care, this project aims to shift the focus onto home-based
care, where everything is moving around the patient. The virtual healthcare team
will be able to provide dedicated, personalized and private service to the home
residing patient on a need based and timely fashion, under the direction of the
treating specialist. Thus, it is expected that chronically and severely ill patients,
such as cancer patients, can enjoy “optimum“ health service in the comfort of their
home while feeling safe and secure. In case of a change in their condition, the
health care team will be (virtually) present to support them.
