Image-based recommendation systems; Mobile technologies; Augmented reality; Image processing; Data mining; Education; Cross-border co-operation

The project aims to strengthen the education process of both universities (Univ. Debrecen and Politehnica Univ. Timisoara) by an extensive exchange of know-how in the field of mobile technologies and augmented reality. The outcome of the project is expected to be a software based on image processing and data mining techniques, which can be used for education in several ways. This partnership includes both joint research and bilateral educational work: the first augmented reality enviroment will be developed in the border region, using the expertise of both universities and involving students into the development of the system. The participating students have the opportunity to learn to work in groups using state-of-the-art development tools. By taking shared seminars, the students can also benefit from the knowledge gained from the other side's experts. The developed system can also be beneficial for several institutions of both sides (arts, natural sciences, architecture, etc.).

Software development tools; Software development processes; Advanced multimedia applications; Mobile phones; Multi-core architectures

The field of mobile devices and applications is currently of key interest for the scientific and industrial communities in the world. In this field, Movidius Ltd. Ireland and its branch in Timisoara have been developing a state-of-the-art multi-core processing platform for advanced multimedia applications. For instance, this architecture is able to perform complex real-time image and video processing. This project aims to study and implement the necessary software development processes and tools, to cover and optimize all the layers involved in the production of advanced multimedia applications for mobile devices, from design to operation and testing.

ICT-eMuCo addresses the platform architecture of future mobile devices. This comprises the relevant controller elements as well as the operating system and application layers. It is expected that the computational performance needed by these devices will grow exponentially due to the growing number of features implemented and the advances in the wireless communication standards. The fast growing number of applications and the resulting diversification requires a co-existence of open and protected environments.
It is therefore proposed to choose a multi-core architecture to get the best ratio of performance and power consumption while maintaining a high flexibility and scalability in the system through variations in number of cores, cache sizes, clock speeds etc. Existing multi-cores are taken as a starting point for the controller architecture. The actual implementation of e. g. the cache and memory system will be optimised to the specific needs as well as the extension by hardware accelerators for dedicated tasks.
Virtualisation technology will be employed to abstract the applications including potential legacy operating systems from the hardware architecture. This provides the means to separate real-time from non-real-time and secure from open domains. To account for the embedded nature of mobile devices and its limitations in performance and power consumption the virtualisation functionalities are supported by hardware where appropriate.
The awareness for the existence of multi-cores must also arise at the programmer's level. This is taken care of by a modeldriven code generation technology based on SDL for typical communications protocol tasks and UML for the application development and modelling.

Wavelet Transform; Power quality; Monitoring systems; Power efficiency; Industrial consumers

Power systems are facing major challenges nowadays. Power electronics technologies and microprocessor control systems improved the performances of the equipment that uses them. Their features generate a double dependency: on one hand, the new installations became highly sensitive to power supply quality and on the other hand, their functioning principle determines the change of this quality.
The research in the field of numerical algorithms development and implementation for power quality (CEE) and the disturbance decrease/limitation becomes more attractive and many producers integrate the monitoring functions in their products. A CEE monitoring system must possess two qualities: real time measurement of the disturbed network power parameters and calculation of quality indices and power components according to the suitable definitions. It is a fact that the Fourier technique is used to define a large number of power components (Standard IEEE 1459-2000). The representation given by the Fourier technique in non-sinusoidal and non-linear environments is not sufficient. The wavelet transform can solve the loss of time information problem. Recently, the wavelet transform is used to define power components and quality indices in time-frequency domain and to spot network deviations.
The general objective of the project consists in the improvement of technological competence and the promotion of power information and technologies transfer using long-lasting power technologies and systems in reference to the improvement of power conversion equipment and systems competitivity. The derived objectives: 1. Increase the CDI sector capacity regarding the knowledge sustaining of society and economy; 2. Increase the technological competence and the promotion of power information and technologies transfer taking into account quality and power supply criteria and durable development principle; 3. Design environment friendly products, systems and technologies; 4. Initiate a STREP proposal to participate in Program Frame 7 and/or other research European and international programs. The projest is achieved by a group of CNCSIS approved research centres, universities (Suceava, Iasi, Timisoara), a reserch institute (ICPE SA) and an IMM economic agent (S.C. Technosoft International SRL). All parteners are doing research work in power quality, power efficiency increase and focus on industrial consumers power loss reduction. The dissemination of the project results consists of: (1) an EPO patent proposal, (2) publish at least 3/8 papers in ISI journals / journals indexed in international databases , (3) participate in international conferences and symposiums with at least 10 papers, (4) create a monography and mention the contribution of research parteners in CEE monitoring systems, (5) initiate a PC7 participation proposal regarding the CEE and power converters improvement. We intend to encourage and actively involve the doctoral students in the project activities since at least 30% of the project participants and beneficiaries are under 35 years old. The theoretical concepts that we proposed in the project have been presented in papers that are published or accepted to be published in ISI and BDI indexed journals. Our proposal fits in Research Direction 2: Energy, 2.1. Durable power systems and technologies; power security, 2.1.3. Power efficiency increase in the whole power distribution system with special attention payed to power loss reduction in public and residential buildings and industrial consumers.
We consider the project theme to be of great novelty and in accordance with the international trends and also able to stimulate the CEE activity in our country.

Special magneto-rheological technologies; Advanced flow contro; Technology integration; Industrial applications

In an effort to improve the operating efficiency and performance, the modern turbo-machines and various systems with engineering fluids are pushing the limits of the flowing field closer and even beyond severe self-inducted instability. A classic example can be found in the case of hydraulic turbines, which frequently imply unexpected and possibly destructive secondary effects into the suction tube when repairing the rotors. Furthermore, even in the case of older hydraulic turbines, the unbalanced energy market of today frequently requires their operation at partial loads. As a result, the

Project PEARL is meant to be the starting point for developing a system that represents a proof of concept for the scheduling and simulation domains. If the concept proves successful further possibilities for enhancing it exist both from technology and conceptual point of view.
The scope of this project is basically to build a system made out of two components:
T1) one for implementing and running the scheduling algorithms, and
T2) the other to simulate the execution of production orders according to the architecture of the production lines and the scheduling plan created by the first component.
The objectives of the project are : to analyze the performance of scheduling algorithms, with an accent on multi-criterium flexible optimization, possibilities for real-time rescheduling and to provide data regarding production KPIs extracted from the simulation model.
The deliverables for this project consist of two categories namely: running software and documents (electronic or hard copy). The term Running Software means: the scheduling and simulation system, test code, installation scripts and third party components used by our system. The documentation should include all documents related to the development process (requirements, architecture, design, test scripts etc.) and other studies, interesting articles or references. For each phase we must create a document that presents accomplishments, problems that we haven't been able to solve properly or at all, and two chapters that describe the project realizations from the scheduling and simulation point of views.
