FogGuru
Participant : Guillaume Pierre.
-
FogGuru is a doctoral training project which aims to to train eight talented PhD students with an innovative and inter-sectoral research program to constitute the next generation of European Cloud and Fog computing experts. Besides their scientific and technical education, FogGuru's PhD students will receive extensive training in technological innovation and entrepreneurship as well as soft skills. These combined skills will enable them to fully master the innovation process stemming from fundamental research towards invention and development of innovative products and services, and to real-life deployment, experimentation and engagement with beta-testers.

Abstract: This project aims to develop and commercialize an AI-powered dash cam with short range V2X and LTE communication capabilities. The product uses the newest AI capable hardware for real-time object detection. The device can detect street signs, traffic lights, other cars, and pedestrians. Combined with sensor data from the accelerometer, GPS and weather data from the cloud we use the data to calculate different dimensions of driving profiles. In addition the V2X and object detection capabilities allow us to warn the driver in real-time about dangers on the road.

Project title: Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (ICT COST Action IC1305)
-
Coordinator: Prof. Jesus Carretero, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain, http://www.nesus.eu

Abstract: Ultrascale systems are envisioned as large-scale complex systems joining parallel and distributed computing systems that will be two to three orders of magnitude larger that today's systems. The EU is already funding large scale computing systems research, but it is not coordinated across researchers, leading to duplications and inefficiencies. The goal of the NESUS Action is to establish an open European research network targeting sustainable solutions for ultrascale computing aiming at cross fertilization among HPC, large scale distributed systems, and big data management. The network will contribute to gluing disparate researchers working across different areas and provide a meeting ground for researchers in these separate areas to exchange ideas, to identify synergies, and to pursue common activities in research topics such as sustainable software solutions (applications and system software stack), data management, energy efficiency, and resilience. Some of the most active research groups of the world in this area are members of this proposal. This Action will increase the value of these groups at the European-level by reducing duplication of efforts and providing a more holistic view to all researchers, it will promote the leadership of Europe, and it will increase their impact on science, economy, and society. Anne-Cécile Orgerie is co-responsible of the focus group on metrics, monitoring, instrumentation and profiling in the Working Group 5 on Energy Efficiency. A joint paper has been accepted in 2018 on this topic at the Elsevier journal on Sustainable Computing [2]. In the context of this COST action, we closely collaborate with Pascal Felber's research group from University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) on energy efficiency in Clouds and in particular on the design of energy cost models for virtual machines. A joint journal paper has been accepted in 2018 for publication in Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems, Elsevier [9].
