DeustoTech organises the 5th Plenary Meeting for the GreenSoul Project

MORElab members together with DeustoTech-ENERGY colleagues organised the GreenSoul’s 5th Plenary Meeting in DEUSTO premises in Bilbao from 20th to 21st of June 2017. The meeting meeting's main objective was to boost the pilot planning for the 6 pilot buildings that the project have (Seville, Weiz, Pilea, Sussex, Cambridge and Bilbao). Furthermore, the technical attendants agreed in a common picture of the GS's architectures and the first prototypes of GreenSoul-ed Things from CERTH and DEUSTO were presented. The GreenSoul-ed devices complement existing electrical appliances in order to monitor their energy consumption and assist their user’s in better usage – better behaviour from an energy consumption standpoint. Among others, MORElab’s smart power strip, the interactive coaster and the smart dimmer were presented.

Several pending issues were addressed regarding the the integration of the sensors, smart analysers and GreenSoul-ed things into the LinkSmart middleware. DEUSTO and WSC presented the work done to start the installation of the WSC's Smart metering system (UMD). Further discussion on the dissemination of the project and the baseline creation for the different buildings were topics also tackled in the meeting. The roadmap for the November review in Brussels was established.

Aitor Gómez-Goiri participated in the 3rd International Conference on "Extending Seamlessly to the Internet of Things"

Aitor Gómez-Goiri participated in the 3rd International Conference on "Extending Seamlessly to the Internet of Things " (esIoT-2014) held in Birmingham (UK) from July 2nd to 4th, 2014.

He presented three MORElab member's articles:

"Reusing Web-Enabled Actuators from a Semantic Space-Based Perspective" by himself (click here to check the slides ).
"Codesign-Oriented Platform for Agile Internet of Things Prototype Development" mainly authored by Jonathan Ruiz-De-Garibay (check the slides here ).

"Team Up with Eco-Aware Everyday Things to Green Your Workplace! mainly authored by Diego Casado-Mansilla.

ForoTech 2013

A week of engineering and technology exhibition was hosted in University of Deusto last month, from 12^th untill 19^th. During the event many innovative prototypes and product samples were presented by the participant companies and research entities. The event was visited by students, professors, entrepreneurs, researchers and by the general public.

The exhibition was stuffed by modern and classical technologies, innovative products and futuristic equipments. An electronic car, a wireless glove, a smart clock and a robotic arm were just a few of the successes of the event. In one small stand there was a 3D printer quietly building a CAD model layer-by-layer, from bottom to up. The passing by visitors were amazed by the simplicity yet effective way of transforming a 3D computer model to a physical object. Todays technological trends are the rapid prototyping machines, the 3D printers, and in the nearest future they can change our world. With these printers in mind the Third Industrial Revolution isnt so far behind.

What kind of new technologies and surprises can bring the second edition of ForoTech in 2014? Well have to wait and see.

UD-Grupo Santander award

The MoreLab members Diego López de Ipiña, Pablo Orduña and Jonathan Ruiz de Garibay, were awarded by the UD-Grupo Santander for the work "Arquitectura web 2.0 para laboratorios remotos, WebLab-Deusto 3.0", developed by Javier García-Zubia, Pablo Orduña, Ignacio Angulo, Diego López de Ipiña, Jaime Irurzun, Unai Hernández and Jonathan Ruiz de Garibay. The project is focused on the development of an infrastructure that enables students to access through the Internet to hardware experiments located in the University, optimizing the cost of the experiments.

SmartLab project started

The project "SmartLab: Intelligent, Collaborative and Programmable Working Environment" has started after being funded by the Saiotek 2006 program of the Basque Government.

The goal of SmartLab is to demonstrate the benefits of applying Ambient Intelligence principles for improving the experiences of people in their working environments.

Flexeo project started

The project "Flexeo: Flexible Sensing and Operation Architecture" has been approved by the Regional Government of Biscay.

Fundación Deusto and ESI - European Software Institute collaborate in Flexeo in order to design a flexible technological architecture for integrating sensor networks and remote operation of devices and equipment into organizational business processes, through state-of-the-art technologies.
