Industrial Systems Institute among the leading Innovation Research Organizations
It is a significant achievement for the Industrial Systems Institute of Athena Research Center, which has been evaluated and selected to take part in the final stage of the Innovation Radar 2022 competition. In this particular competition, the European Commission evaluates the achievements of funded projects and selects those technological applications that are considered innovative, have prospects and can contribute to the development of new usable products in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The final stage of the competition includes three (3) innovative applications that were designed, developed and implemented by the Industrial Systems Institute (ISI) of Athena R.C. in the context of the European project "CPSoSAware - Cross-layer model-based distributed framework for multi-objective design of Reconfigurable systems for connected and mobile CPSs", which was successfully completed in December 2022.
The Industrial Systems Institute (ISI) of Athena R.C. was the coordinating partner of the CPSoSAware project, having Dr. Aris Lalos, Research Director and Dr. Apostolos Fournaris, Principal Researcher, as Scientific Directors (SD), who coordinated and guided a consortium that contributed to the implementation of the project and the development of innovative applications; the Greek partners included the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology of the University of Patras (www.ece.upatras.gr), the company Panasonic Automotive Systems (eu.automotive.panasonic.com) and the company ATOS. The whole consortium involved 12 additional partners [three (3) European industries, three (3) SMEs, two (2) research institutes and innovation centers and four (4) Universities] from a total of 9 European countries.
The selected three (3) innovative applications have to do with technological solutions based on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity/Systems Security which were successfully tested in autonomous driving simulators, Panasonic Automotive Europe's automated vehicle (PASSEU) and factory digital twins, in Fiat (CRF)’s research center:
The Industrial Systems Institute held a catalytic role in the project since it coordinated all partners and was responsible for:
