Background and Issues

  • Digital systems are present in all developing sectors.
  • A market worth €2.4 billion in 2010, with 8% annual growth.
  • 30% average annual growth in the global market for connected devices.
  • 40% of the European Union’s productivity growth is driven by the information and communication technology industry.

Objectives

  • Combine heterogeneous models to design robust and flexible hybrid systems that integrate hardware architectures, sensor networks, and embedded software on a large scale.
  • Analyze and mine massive, complex, and heterogeneous data streams.
  • Design security protocols and cryptographic components that are free of hardware or software vulnerabilities.
  • Improve computing performance and energy efficiency at the hardware and software levels.
  • Design interactive simulation and augmented reality environments.
  • Modeling human-physical-digital ecosystems that respect privacy.
