EMILI

EMILI proyecto

The EMILI project (“Emergency Management in Large Infrastructures”) is a European project aimed at creating a new generation of control systems for large critical infrastructure (ICs) such as power grids, telecommunications systems, airports, subways, trains and pipelines. These ICs are currently experiencing substantial technical, economic, organizational, political and legal changes. Its importance in society is growing in all aspects, and the set of dependencies between them is growing more and more.

Under these conditions, we need a new form of control to provide security in ICs, especially in emergencies and crises. The EMILI approach is based on a new generation of technologies such as complex event processing (CEP), the active Web and the Semantic Web.
EMILI unites leading research groups in data management and operational management, complex event processing, reactivity, knowledge representation and SCADA systems with industrial partners that provide use cases and “know-how” for SCADA systems in airports, public transport, and electrical networks.

The other project partners are:

  • Fraunhofer Institut (Germany) (Project leader)
  • Skytec AG (Germany)
  • Asit AG (Switzerland)
  • CWI (Centrum voor Wiskunde en informatica) (Netherlands)
  • Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München (Germany)
  • Institut Mihajlo Pupin (Serbia)

 

Grupo AIA’s role in the project is the development of intelligent interpretation systems for real-time SCADA alarms and events in the grid.

The project ran from 2010 to 2012.

BARCELONA CIUTAT INTELLIGENT

BARCELONA CIUTAT INTELLIGENT

 

AGAUR Project 2010 involving the Generalitat de Catalunya (Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris I de recerca) electricity infrastructure within Inforegión.

The project consisted of the design, development and integration of a network management platform of sensors and information. Main objectives were the optimisation of urban management, but also aimed to provide as much information as possible, through the use of open interfaces enabling the development of innovative applications by third parties.

The other project partners were:

SISCLAP

SISCLAP Proyecto Salud

 

The SISCLAP project’s objective is to obtain an SCP, which achieves capitation payment models, adjusted for the risk level of the beneficiaries of a health service. Thus it is intended to improve the efficiency of resources, reducing use and consumption and the differences between budgets and expenditure. As an added value seeks to improve the access of users of increased risk to the most efficient and necessary.

The SISCLAP project is basically based on the application of algorithms and predictive models (using artificial intelligence) for segmenting all patients operated on supercomputing infrastructure with a focus on improving the efficiency of the Spanish health system. This improvement will be through three related levels, which ordered from micro to macro: Professional Management, Strategic Management and Organization and Financing of health centres, and budget allocation of healthcare providers.

 

The “Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Turismo” of Spain, within the “Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica, Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica 2008-2011”, has funded the project SISCLAP.

 

SISCLAP consortium has been formed by:

  • FlowLab
  • Baladona Serveis Assistencials
  • Fundación Parque Científico de Murcia

REDES 2025

REDES 2025 proyecto

 

This project involved the configuration of R + D required for transmission and distribution networks in 2025.

The consortium was led by FUTURED, a Spanish association of companies involved in the electricity sector. The consortium consisted of 70 companies and research institutions whose research related to the electricity sector.

Grupo AIA’s role in the project was the development of an optimisation algorithm for energy storage, taking into account the different storage technologies (batteries, pumped hydro). The goal was to store the surplus of renewable energy and use it optimally.

The project ran from 2009 to 2010, with a possible extension to 2012.

IRRIIS

IRRIIS proyecto europeo

 

The overall functioning of public life and economic and social development depends on critical infrastructures (ICs) such as electricity or telecommunications networks. The European project IRRIIS (“Integrated Risk Reduction of Information-based Infrastructure Systems”) focused on protecting these infrastructures.

The extensive use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has been extended to other infrastructures, being more and more intelligent, interconnected, complex, interdependent, and therefore vulnerable.

IRRIIS increased the reliability, survivability and resilience of these structures and:

  • Determined a set of requirements from both the public and private scenarios based on detailed data analysis.
  • Developed MIT (Middleware Improved Technology), a collection of software components that facilitate communication between different infrastructures and suppliers. Supporting recovery actions and increasing service stability in case of critical situations, MIT components substantially improve the safety of large critical infrastructures.
  • Built SimCIP (Simulation for Critical Infrastructure Protection), a simulation environment for controlled experimentation with a major focus on interdependency in ICs. The simulator is used to increase understanding of the ICs and their interdependencies, identifying potential problems and developing appropriate solutions to validate and test the MIT components.

 

The other project partners were:

  • Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (Germany)
  • Ente per le Nuove Tecnologie, l’Energia e l’Ambiente (Italy)
  • Supériere Ecole Nationale des Telecommunications (France)
  • Siemens AG (Germany)
  • Telecom Italia SpA (Italy)
  • Centre for Software Reliability at City University London (United Kingdom)
  • Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (Switzerland)
  • Alcatel Lucent (France)
  • The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (Netherlands)
  • VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland (Finland)
  • Advanced Industrial Systems Ltd. (Malta)
  • Red Eléctrica of Spain (Spain)
  • Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH (Germany)
  • Distribuzione ACEA SpA (Italy)

Grupo AIA’s role was to provide consulting expertise in the electricity network in order to build a coherent model of failure analysis.

 

The project was developed between 2006 and 2009.
