European projects

The SIFIS-Home project (Secure Interoperable Full-stack Internet of things for smart Home) aims at providing a secure-by-design and consistent software framework for improving resilience of Interconnected Smart Home Systems at all stack levels.

The project is coordinated by CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) and the e-Lite group is participating as part of the Department of Control and Computer Engineering.

The Optimus project (OPTIMising the energy USe in cities with smart decision support systems) aims at developing methodologies and technologies for helping cities to make smart energy decisions. The role of the e-Lite group is to define the main IT Architecture of the data collection and processing infrastructure.

The project is coordinated by NTUA (Greece) and is developed in collaboration with the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Torino.

CROSS (Citizen Reinforcing Open Smart Synergies) is a project co-financed by the European Union within the framework of European Programme (CIP Framework Programme for Competitiveness and Innovation), born with the aim and the ambition to create an innovative ecosystem and a new mentality to deal with the challenges and difficulties arising from the economic crisis.

The project is coordinated by Poste Italiane (Italy), and the role of the e-Lite group is to assist Città di Torino in the public outreach and procurement related to the Call for Apps.

The "Virtual Campus Hub" project (call FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2011-2, project n. 283746) aims at exploring e-learning methodologies for the context of Energy Managers and innovators in the Energy sector.

The project is coordinated by DTU (Denmark) and is developed in collaboration with the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Torino.

MVSP: Multilingual Virtual Simulated Patient.

The project aims to develop a "simulated patient" software which acts and responds as a real patient would during a clinical interview. This tool allows to provide simulated patient training via elearning, as well as a less expensive training of health professionals in clinical interview.

COGAIN: Communication by Gaze Interaction. A Network of Excellence under the EU IST 6th Framework Program. Coordinated by the University of Tampere.

eSWES: eLearning System for Water and Environmental Studies. EU Project under the TEMPUS-Program. Three universities are participated in the project (RWTH Aachen University/German, Zagazig University/ Egypt and Politecnico di Torino/Italy).

PRAISE: Peer Review Network Applying Intelligence to Social Work Education (e-Learning programme)

CABLE: Case-based e-learning for educators. (Socrates "MINERVA" project - 109883-CP-1-2003-1-IT-MINERVA-M)

MOISE: International Organization Model for People with Special Educational Needs

National or Regional projects

The project "Batti il cinque" (gimme a high-five) is a national initiative, funded by the Foundation Con i Bambini and involving 47 partners around Italy, clustered in five different regions of activity.

In the region of Torino, the activities are coordinated by Fondazione della Comunità di Mirafiori ONLUS and focus on innovative training for children of primary and middle schools. The role of the e-Lite group is to organize innovative teaching events (for teachers and for children) on the topics of Introduction to coding, Robotics, and Advanced coding.

The project AstiMusei aims at building a modern infrastructure for networking the museums and artistic sites of a local territory. It has been implemented as a pilot project in the city of Asti by Fondazione Palazzo Mazzetti, with a co-funding of Regione Piemonte.

In collaboration with Tonic Minds, Gaidano&Matta, nfctech.eu, ni.co.srl, elex, with the scientific coordination of Politecnico di Torino.

The Applus.énergie project aims at defining an energy monitoring architecture suitable for public buildings (schools, offices, etc), based on open source solutions and off the shelf components. The methodology is based on a living labs approach, where users of the buildings are involved in the energy monitoring data and their behavior is influenced by energy feedback.

The project is funded by Regione Valle d'Aosta under the Alcotra programme, and will be applied to a building by Politecnico di Torino (Sede "Mirafiori") and one building in Verrès (AO), hosting Politecnico di Torino and ISITP school. Project coordinated by Proxima Centauri.

The project aims at developing a speech-driven interface for a smart home, for the benefit of mobility impaired users.

In collaboration with Università di Torino (Interaction Models Group), Parsit, Cooperativa C'era l'Acca. Supported by Fondazione CRT under a VivoMeglio grant.

Feasibility study funded through Polo Innovazione ICT on the adoption of Semantic technologies and innovative approaches in a Content Management System for the Tourism sector.

The coordinator of the project is Trim srl as part of the ITCluster consortium.

Feasibility study funded through Polo Innovazione ICT on advanced user interfaces and user interaction methodologies for improving user awareness about energy consumption and energy saving in residential homes.

The coordinator of the project is Experientia srl.

SMILE-O (Smart MeterIng for Local Energy Optimization) is a research project funded through Polo Innovazione ICT on intelligent energy management in industrial co-generation settings. The role of the e-Lite research group is to propose and experiment data interoperability amongst publishers of production data and consumption data, using internet open standards (in particular RDF and Linked Open Data)

The coordinator of the project is Akhela spa.
