The action

The [e-Aegean Data Center] is a singular open-source system that adopts a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The digital space’s SOA architecture is founded on fundamental, autonomous components known as services. These services can be amalgamated to compose complex higher-level services (or sub-systems) that execute intricate functions. The objective is to enhance the educational, research, and technical services provided by the University of the Aegean. This enhancement is facilitated through a unified digital platform designed to cater to the institution’s needs in the upcoming years while aligning with its developmental strategy.

The architecture with which the interregional data center is designed guarantees the full support of the research data life cycle as well as their reuse. These data come either from a published research/experiment/project, or were collected by the tools/sensors that the University of the Aegean has at its disposal and has put into operation. In order to achieve this, at the first level there should be an appropriate semantic description of the data according to the standards defined at European level for each different type of data (e.g. INSPIRE for geospatial data, SDMX for statistical data, etc.), in order to achieve their understanding by the wider research community.

In addition to managing the large volume of research data through the creation of an open, dynamic and scalable service-oriented system, at the same time it is necessary to ensure the protection of the data it manages and the privacy of the persons connected, directly or indirectly, to them..

Potential services of the Data Center are centralized, automated, infrastructure-level support for knowledge and innovation communities, advanced data management capabilities (design, storage, easy and fast access from fixed and mobile platforms, reuse) and integration of services for the needs of knowledge and innovation communities.

At the second level, great importance and attention is given to the management and interconnection of big data, which are characterized by their high variety, volume and speed of creation.

As a minimum, such an infrastructure should have storage, feedback, search, retrieval, heterocitation and interconnection with external data such as published research papers. Finally, the infrastructure will provide the functions of accessibility and control of data input as well as mechanisms for defining responsibility for data management and data protection issues.

Having adopted the perspective that it is important that data from already published research be made available to the wider scientific community for updating, confirming and generating new results, the action aims to develop an integrated Data Centre that will cover the entire life cycle of data, including collection, storage, processing and presentation, and will allow the synthesis of a set of innovative services using the research data of the University of Aegean.

[1] Computer & Communication Systems Laboratory

The Computer & Communication Systems Laboratory (CCSL) is part of the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering of the University of the Aegean located in Karlovassi, Samos (PD 319 Issue A, GG 304, 31/12/1999) and is constantly seeking new collaborations with public and private institutions in the area of Telecommunications, Networks and Computer Systems, both at national and European level. The current research and teaching activity of the CCSL members is well balanced between theory and practice, and covers a wide range of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) fields. Throughout its operation, and particularly during the last years, the members of the group have participated in a significant number of European/national research and development projects, thus acquiring specialized experience and knowledge in cutting-edge areas. Based on this knowledge, the CCSL is able to offer innovative solutions in the development and implementation of various components of the ICT infrastructure required for the effective delivery of future digital interconnection services.

The fields of research and service provision of the CCSL are: Non-ionizing E/M radiation measurements and studies; Channel characterization, propagation models and modelling of wireless systems; Resource management in cellular cooperative networks; Cognitive systems; Energy-aware next generation networks and services; Wireless, mobile and satellite cooperative systems; Integration of heterogeneous technologies; SDN / NFV / Cloud Computing; Design and programming of pervasive computing systems; Design and implementation of neuromorphic optical computing systems; Design of digital circuits and systems; Digital image processing; Design of photonic and optical computing and telecommunication systems and devices; Security in virtual environments; Physical security for broadband networks and IoT; Satellite communication and tracking systems; IoT systems and applications.

 
[2] Laboratory of Information & Communication Systems Security

The Laboratory of Information & Communication Systems Security (Info-Sec-Lab) was founded in 1999 and includes six faculty members and more than 35 researchers (Postdoctoral Fellows, PhD Candidates, External collaborators). The research team of Info-Sec-Lab is the largest in Greece in the field of information systems security and privacy protection. The members of the lab have participated in dozens of international and national research projects and have conducted studies for the private and public sector. The research interests of the members of the lab include information systems security, privacy protection, mobile and wireless communications security, and cryptography and information systems security management.
