Projects

The FITNESS lab research activity mainly focuses on cutting edge technologies and pre-competitive research. Our team is especially interested in coping with real-life challenges and this leads us to cooperate with many companies and other research teams in the context of funded projects. The bulk of our research is funded by European Commission, but also Italian Ministires, Local Government are interested in our research. In this page it is possible to have a bird eyes view of the open, and recently closed, research projects we were involved in.


INCISIVE

Project objective : Although artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) provide unprecedented opportunities for improved cancer detection, various technical challenges as well as a lack of data availability hamper their utilisation. The EU-funded INCISIVE project aims to develop a toolbox for enhancing the accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of existing […]


7SHIELD

Project objective : KONFIDO advances the state of the art of eHealth technology with respect to four key dimensions of digital security, namely: data preservation, data access and modification, data exchange, and interoperability and compliance. To address the challenges of secure storage and exchange of eHealth data, protection and control […]


COMPACT

COmpetitive Methods to protect local Public Administration from Cyber security Threats Project Objective : Cyber threats are the most significant and growing risk for public administrations (PA). However, technological, organisational and structural issues hamper the ability, especially for local PAs (LPAs) to improve their cyber security level. Budget constraints and […]


SRT-15

The main objective of VIPER is to build an open, scalable and dependable service platform. The target of the VIPER platform is to enable the construction of novel large-scale distributed services on the Internet. In order to achieve this goal, VIPER will allow for dynamic composition of reusable services deployed […]

SAWSOC

SAWSOC aims at bringing a significant advancement in the convergence of physical and logical security, meaning effective cooperation (i.e. a coordinated and results-oriented effort to work together) among previously disjointed functions. Recently some achievements have been made (e.g. SEM and SIM have merged into SIEM, and LACS and PACS have […]


LeanBigData

LeanBigData aims at addressing three open challenges in big data analytics: 1) The cost, in terms of resources, of scaling big data analytics for streaming and static data sources; 2) The lack of integration of existing big data management technologies and their high response time; 3) The insufficient end-user support […]


SERECA

SERECA is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for Research and Innovation. The project aims to remove technical impediments to secure cloud computing, and thereby encourage greater uptake of cost-effective and innovative cloud solutions in Europe, since the lack of adequate security guarantees is becoming the […]
