In the context of the Italian Conference on Cybersecurity (ITASEC18), Paolo Prinetto (CINI Director) presented the “Libro Bianco sulla Cybersecurity” (Cybersecurity White Book). The book describes the point of view of the Italian scientific community about the importance of coordinated cybersecurity global policies, and depicts a set of actions to be enforced in the Public sector to keep the cyber security threat  level under an acceptable threshold.

Ernesto Damiani participated in the writing of the Book, authoring the chapter on Industry 4.0.

TOREADOR will organize at the Circolo Nautico Stabia (Castellamare di Stabia) a Workshop for the dissemination of project results with Companies, Public Bodies, and Educational Institutes of the Campania Region. Ernesto Damiani and Beniamino Di Martino will represent CINI.

The aim of the workshop will be to define the strategies for the improvement of Big Data technologies and competences in the area.

Execution of the TOREADOR methodology on SAP pilot, from declarative requirements specification to semi-automatic deployment on a target Big Data platform.

Ernesto Damiani has been invited by the European Commission, as Principal Investigator of TOREADOR, to participate to the workshop organised by the Joint Institute for Innovation Policy (JIIP) on the Legal Protection of Databases.

The Joint Institute for Innovation Policy (JIIP) invited around 25 representatives of database users and makers to a workshop that took place on Tuesday 21st November 2017 in the premises of the European Commission. These participants have been selected to represent all relevant stakeholder groups using various types of databases.
The workshop will bring together database makers and users across sectors to validate the preliminary findings of the study, and to complement them with insights derived from practical experience in the protection of databases.

Ernesto presented the TOREADOR approach, that resulted as a clear European BDA use case.

Ernesto Damiani gave a speech at the DaTalks on Big Data and Data Analytics in Beirut at the Campus of Sciences and Technologies.

The talk was focused on the foundations of BDA, in terms of emerging innovation in algorithms as well as in terms of data and computational models. Then it discussed some recurrent models and patterns used in practical Big Data computations, from Data preparation and anonymity to analytics to display, and presents their application to business domains like energy, fintech and advanced manufacturing, highlighting the TOREADOR approach to BDA.

Ernesto Damiani has been invited by the European Commission to present TOREADOR at the International Market Advisory Committee (IMAC) as DG CONNECT Pilot Project. DG CONNECT is The European Commission Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content & Technology.

The meeting focused on some of the emerging data potential and challenges, and it will form part of the Commission’s further reflexion as announced in the Digital Single Market Mid-Term review. It aims to give policy makers the opportunity to exchange ideas on how to grow the data economy in their Member States.

TOREADOR supports the first International School on Industry Digital Evolution.  The School aims to become  a meeting point between the industry and academia to understand what are the benefits and the actions to be taken for leading a transformation of practices, processes, technologies and competencies.

The latest achievements of the project have been presented by Paolo Ceravolo, and Ernesto Damiani presents the TOREADOR approach in a talk titled “Big Data and Industrial Internet: key notions and open issues”.

Ernesto Damiani has been invited to give a talk at the Statistical Challenges in Big Data & Complex Systems meeting, satellite event of the annual conference of the The CLAssification and Data Analysis Group (CLADAG) of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS).

In this talk Ernesto described the TOREADOR approach to Model-based Big Data Analytics and how it can be deployed as service for European enterprises.

Ernesto Damiani presented TOREADOR  methodology for Big-Data-as-a-Service at the IEEE Big Data Congress, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

At the same event, related work by Maria Krotsiani and George Spanoudakis has been presented.

IRIXYS and the AIDA consortium (Artificial Intelligence for Data Analytics) in collaboration Atos International Germany jointly organise a Summer School for PhD students and junior scientists with the title “Big Data and Business: Methods, Technologies and Innovation”.

The Summer School intends to build a strong network of young and experienced scientists for future cooperations. Addressing different approaches in the field of Big Data Analytics, Internet of Things and Machine Learning, the event aims at getting a deeper insight into fundamental research works as well as technological transfer and industrial purposes.

The Summer School particularly targets PhD students. Master students interested in pursuing their academic path in the research field can participate within the number of available places.

During his speech, Ernesto Damiani introduced the innovation of TOREADOR in the context of Big Data Analytics.
