The MARI-Sense project aims at developing the MARI-Sense Cognitive Decision Support System for the planning of maritime activities such as tracking surface vehicles, autonomous identification of polluting vessels, detection of swimmers and divers, and optimization of maritime spaces, amongst others. Sustaining the high activity levels of maritime and coastal tourism and maritime transport and shipping […]

The aim of the CORONASENSE project is to develop and bring to the market an innovative software to assess in real-time the Indoor Air Quality specifically for conditions that enable the spread of COVID-19 in large public indoor spaces. Poor Indoor Air Quality has been proven to act as an enabling mechanism for airborne virus

The aim of this MSCA fellowship is to transfer Bayesian statistical methodologies in the area of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and contribute towards the efficient decision-making and fault diagnosis capabilities of intelligent vehicles (IVs), as well as improve their collective behavior when interacting with other vehicles and the road infrastructure. The research activity BITS is

The AURA project aims at improving the Indoor Air-Quality monitoring in large, energy efficient buildings and reducing the overall cost of the monitoring system by developing an innovative software. During the last decade, over 100.000 deaths in Europe were caused by household (indoor) air pollution. This phenomenon occurs due to the high increase of the

PVgnosis aims at developing a software platform and associated tools needed for delivering advanced diagnosis, predictive maintenance and intelligent visual inspection on installed photovoltaic (PV) plants towards the massive adoption of solar energy. The solar photovoltaic energy is considered to be an important and most cost-effective type of renewable energy source and it is expected

Although Cyprus has adopted all the relevant prerequisites and adapted its national legislation and policy with regards to energy regulation and energy markets as a full member state of EU, Cyprus energy market is still in its infantry levels compared to the envisaged EU framework liberalization and completion levels. The innovation project “EnergyXchange” envisions to

The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence (CoE) at the University of Cyprus is participating in an Innovation Action project funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 programme. The project is titled “CARAMEL” and brings together 15 organizations from 8 European countries with complementary expertise and skills. It addresses the cybersecurity challenge of

We spend 85-90% of our lives in buildings and require them to offer a comfortable and safe environment, as well as to be operated efficiently for economic reasons and compliance with EU and national regulations. As a result, most commercial buildings are already equipped with Building Automation Systems (BAS) and sub-systems that monitor and control

The REALFON (Resource Allocation in Flexible Optical Networks) project aims at developing novel optimization algorithms for the efficient utilization of resources in future optical networks taking into account the security of the physical layer. The ever-increasing growth of traffic in backbone networks is expected to exceed the available capacity provided by the fixed-grid wavelength division

The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus is coordinating a new innovative research project entitled “EMPOWER”. This project aims to develop new tools and technologies specifically suited for the Cyprus power system in order to further enhance its stability and reliability, even in the presence of a very high

The GLIMPSE project aims to develop novel AI-based algorithms and cooperative control techniques to address fundamental challenges in the use of a fleet of drones in search and rescue (SAR) missions and enable this promising technology to go well beyond the current state-of-the-art and ultimately support first responders in their operations. One of the biggest

The health sector’s increasing dependence on digital information and communication infrastructures renders it vulnerable to threats to privacy and cybersecurity, especially as the theft of health data has become particularly lucrative for cyber criminals. At the same time, a breach of integrity of health data can have dramatic consequences for the patients affected. The KIOS

The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence (CoE) at the University of Cyprus is participating in a large Innovation Action project funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 programme. This is a large project with a budget of over 17 million euros and with 28 partner organizations from 14 different countries of the

Greece and Cyprus, over the recent years, have been dealing with heavy irregular migration attempts via the Mediterranean Sea and cross-border crime. Their unique geographical position in the South Eastern end borders of the European Union renders them as significant targets for smuggling groups, using small maritime vessels. In these instances, timely effective and secure

Dr. Kleanthis Malialis, a Post-Doc researcher at the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence of the University of Cyprus was awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska Curie (MSCA) Widening Fellowship to work with Professors Marios Polycarpou and Christos Panayiotou on the project “FAULT-LEARNING”. Moreover, the Fellow will work with Professor Cesare Alippi, as the Fellowship

The ELECTRON research project aims at delivering a new-generation platform for Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES), capable of empowering the resilience of energy systems against cyber, privacy, and data attacks through four main pillars: risk assessment and certification, anomaly detection and prevention, failure mitigation and energy restoration, and addressing internal threats and gaps through
