Project Main Objectives
|
- Dynamic extraction of low-level content meta-data based on real-time
processing of A/V streams.
- Mapping of low-level meta-data to higher level semantics (notably
ontologies).
- Development of a reconfigurable middleware platform that leverages
these semantics.
- Demonstration of the benefits of the platform for application
development in the scope of security/surveillance and meeting support
applications.

AIT ‘s
Role and key contributions: |
- Contribution of AIT’s background A/V processing algorithms
(developed by Autonomic and Grid Computing Group) for face detection and
tracking, person tracking, person identification,
- Object tracking, acoustic localization, speech activity detection.
For more info on these technologies see:
http://www.ait.edu.gr/research/RG1/systems.asp
- Integration and fine tuning of the algorithms in the scope of the
PRIAMOS applications.
- Enhancement of the above algorithms so as to become adaptive (to
environmental conditions and context), autonomic (basic research).
- Contribution to the specification of the PRIAMOS middleware
platforms architecture, as well as to the architecture of applications.
- Contribution to developing the PRIAMOS middleware platform through
mapping feature extraction data to semantic structures.
- Application development emphasizing on real-time context-aware non
obtrusive functionality.

| Objectives /Goals: |
The ZEUS project has envisioned the implementation of
advanced communication channels for the provision of support to isolated
schools in Greece. The project is based on a close cooperation between
pedagogical experts, trainers, teachers, software developers and
communication experts to design, develop and implement an advanced learning
environment which is based on satellite communications in order to support
the training of teachers in schools located in rural areas, mainly in
Central Greece and in the Aegean Sea. The project aims at providing in
service training to multigrade teachers by utilizing the capabilities of
advanced satellite systems. The training programme aims at enhancing
professional skills of multigrade schoolteachers as well as to develop their
abilities in using ICT as supporting tool in everyday teaching.
Subsequently, the teachers could act as instructors to familiarise the local
community with using eLearning facilities (e.g. students, farmers).The ZEUS
project will provide a framework and a model for the continuous training and
support of multigrade schoolteachers, enhancing communication among remote
multigrade school teaching environment and outside educational community.

 |
| Objectives /Goals: |
The project focuses on teaching appropriately
selected target groups on technology topics related to multiservice
networking, wireless networking, e-health and e-government. Moreover,
several postgraduate students, and professionals of the target groups will
be trained in the organizations of the consortium.
AIT (Autonomic Computing Group) prepares training and educational
material relating to telecoms / networking, e-health, and e-government.
Members of the group are among the instructors of the courses, and have
given lectures in the scope of the first three seminars series (each
comprising 64 hours of lectures) organized by the project in:
- Mitilini, January 2004, emphasizing on IT & networking for e-health
- Larisa, March 2004, emphasizing on IT & networking for e-health
- Athens, May-June 2004, emphasizing on IT & networking for military
applications. This was organized by the group at the AIT premises, and
involved teaching of Hellenic Air Force Personnel on IT & telecom topics
pertaining to military applications and organizations.
