Public transport in Switzerland and in Latin America is organised differently and operated with different levels of reliability, innovation priorities, and acceptance of digital support solutions by passengers. The common element is that in both regions, operators struggle with optimising the offered services to ...

Phones and notebooks do not require much power? Wrong, most usage patterns involve the heavy use of cloud services. In contrast to device consumption, the extent of this indirect consumption is unknown to users. This project delivers a tool to trace cloud use and convey a CO2 equivalent to the user.  ...

In this project, we focus on the current state of Android security. One main focus will be to determine current diffculties and limitations that hinder security researchers in performing a dynamic analysis of Android pre-installed software components such as pre-installed apps or native libraries. In a first step, ...

Digital Health Zurich researches digital health solutions in the hospital context and implements them efficiently and with practical relevance. Core topics are Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROMs), remote monitoring, integrated care and related technologies as well as empowerment of patients and staff. Our ...

CloudStars presents a joint research programme in the fields of Cloud computing and AI technologies. CloudStars pursues innovation in the Cloud infrastructures to support the next generation of low-latency, high-performance complex workloads. CloudStars also pursues high innovation in the Cloud, making the best ...

The goal of this project is to apply the major algorithms developed in the EU-Project INODE (Intelligent Open Data Exploration, https://www.inode-project.eu/) to Swiss Open Data. The focus is on developing multi-lingual extensions for so-called Natural Language to SQL systems (NL-to-SQL) where a natural language ...

How can we better protect ourselves from cyber threats? The answer to this question is as complex as cyber security itself, because the right balance must always be found between technical possibilities and political, social and economic interests. The increasing digitalisation of critical infrastructures in ...

The profitability of cloud providers is often negatively affected by misconfiguration of application resource constraints. In this research study, we check the feasibility of integrating ML on usage-dependent configurations into a GitOps workflow. The result will be a novel advisor service that tells GitOps ...

Crops growth management in greenhouses is fundamental for their economical and ecological sustainability. Typically, smaller size greenhouses have the challenge to grow more than one crop variety, each having different growth control strategies. A precise estimate of the expected harvest and crop balance allows ...

Cities suffer from too much traffic, leading to congestion, air and noise pollution. Increased e-commerce popularity intensifies these challenges further. The Covid crisis has proven that our urban logistics systems are neither reliable, resilient, nor sustainable. Our objective is to develop a future urban ...

By optimizing production in the textile industry, digitalization can help to reduce power consumption and thus, emissions of pollutants. Yet, digitalization itself creates emissions, e.g., by using powerful AI algorithms. There is currently no transparency for how digitalization investments can reduce emissions. The ...

The main vision for the NEPHELE project is to enable efficient, reliable and secure end-to-end orchestration of hyper-distributed applications over programmable infrastructure that is spanning across the compute continuum from Cloud-to-Edge-to-IoT. Together with other 17 great partners from industry and academia, ...

Smart personalised shopping is enabled by a number of cyber-physical technologies including electronic shelf labels (ESLs), beacons, sensors, connected point-of-sales (POS) and so forth. In this project, the already known product location and quantity information associated with the ESLs shall be complemented by ...

Background: Digital transformation constitutes one of the most important innovations at the local level of government and is expected to reshape local service delivery, public administration, and governance in Europe fundamentally. Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the fundamental importance of a ...

The goal of this project is to lay the technological foundations for empowering various stakeholders to make fact-based decisions to achieve sustainable consumption and production. In particular, we will evaluate how various data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods can be used to extract ...

Training on patients according to the principle of “see one, do one and teach one” no longer corresponds to today’s requirements and technical opportunities regarding education of surgical residents. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most hands-on training had to be discontinued, leading to an almost complete ...

In the ROBOT project, new scalable methods and technologies to map strongly distributed data models, with as few lossy intermediate representations as possible, are being investigated. A key concern in that is raising the abstraction levels and resource planning compared to conventional big data programming ...

Clean, reliable data is crucial to an increasingly digitized financial industry. We currently observe a lack of consistent, high-quality data across asset classes which requires costly and time-intensive human intervention. We propose an AI-driven solution to address this issue.
