WWW activities & Emerging Networking Technologies

Advanced Informatics possesses major knowledge on the exploitation of WWW in every-day life, and also investigates the potential usage of the emerging multimedia technologies in innovative applications. As far as contribution on WWW issues is concerned, we have dealt with the installation of several WWW servers across Greece and the advertising of numerous companies through WWW. We currently focus on new trends on the Internet, such as Electronic Commerce, Advertising and the trailing issues that arise, like Security on the Internet, Billing Policies, etc.
 We aim to form a bridge between innovative know-how on such areas and companies, organizations and users that wish to benefit the advantages of these most promising developments. Other significant activities focus on the development of a search engine that will operate on a distributed environment.
Additional R&D areas involve the introduction of multimedia technologies in a numerous application domains and the enable of distributed transfer of such information. In this context, AI intends to co-operate and participate with other interested parties and organizations in the establishment of the global information infrastructure. Our scope is to promote and disseminate Value Added Services to SME's (Business to Business transactions) and end-users (business to consumer transactions). We concentrate our interest on:  

  • models of networked multimedia services
  • issues on the real time delivery of multimedia information
  • models for the representation of structured multimedia documents
  • innovative User Interface design
  • interactive distributed information services

Multimedia systems & Educational software

As far as educational software is concerned, Advanced Informatics is interested in the development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Authoring Systems, Expert Systems and Virtual Reality applications for the training of personnel such as engineers, technicians, project managers etc. Advanced Informatics has been involved in the context of COMMET project - GESEM. The project has provided an authoring environment, called GEPRIAM. Nowadays, Advanced Informatics addresses the knowledge enrichment, the exploitation of technology on Intelligent Tutoring and multimedia systems and the dissemination to possible exploitation channels in the Greek market and industry.
      Another activity, equally important to the previous ones, is the vocational training of our customers and the organization of several courses in the field of Information Technology. Vocational training through the usage of Intelligent Tutoring systems is an important factor for cross-fertilization in the industrial and business sector of Greece. Advanced Informatics primarily aims at the dissemination of our knowledge and developed products, in the aforementioned fields, to interested parties in the production process such as technicians, engineers, physicists and managers.
     Advanced Informatics’ associates are experienced researchers and developers. They have great experience in the management of large European Community projects. Their contribution has been acknowledged by their selection to become Reviewers-Evaluators of the new EU proposals. Our staff consists of computer engineers whose activities and interests lie in the fields of real-time systems, parallel systems, monitoring and performance analysis techniques, Petri Nets, expert systems in education, telematics and broadband networks, and user interface design.

Electronic Commerce

  In the context of e-commerce Advanced Informatics has tried & used emerging technologies conserning secure transactions through Internet. Advanced Informatics has used and developed sites conserning secure sales through Internet with user-friendly environments. The latest goal is the design & impementation of a City-based Virtual Mole. In this project custom er may have interactive communication with the stores of their area and can also buy goods, through a Virtual 3D environment. On the other hand salesmen may make on-line updates of their stock and prices. This project is going to be implemented under VRML 2.0 and the first prototype will be ready in 2000

Systems Software  

       In the area of Systems Software, Advanced Informatics is mainly working on the analysis of the software that controls embedded/parallel systems. Advanced Informatics has participated in the ESPRIT project OMI/TotEm, in the context of which major research activities involved studying and analysing numerous scheduling and resource allocation policies, commonly applied by such systems. Those activities resulted in:

  • the definition of a general model for representing systems and corresponding timing constraints
  • the development of a Schedulability Analyser in order to automate the examination of the timing behaviour in various systems
           The Schedulability Analyser performes static analysis based on the Rate Monotonic Scheduling theory. It provides a collection of quantitative methods that enable system developers to examine the timing behaviour and to design feasible alternatives for a system that uses any fixed-priority scheduling policy. Advanced Informatics also developed a Behavioural Simulator, which offers a dynamic aspect of the timing behaviour for a set of tasks running in a specific system. The simulation of the system's scheduling and recource allocation policies over a certain time period provides the analytic representation of the tasks' behaviour in the examined system. Another important activity is the development of specialised software for target processors. Specifically, Advanced Informatics has produced software for instrumenting single functions and performing timing measurments on THOMSON-SGS ST90R40 and SIEMENS SAB80C167 processors.
