The community research and development information service (CORDIS-EU) has selected SCOUT as a promising and impactful EU-funded project . CORDIS has consequentially produced a dissemination article after an interview with the project coordinators and it is now available online in six languages at https://cordis.europa.eu/result/rcn/238967_en.html The SCOUT (Multitech security system for interconnected space control ground stations) project has focused on
Conformal antennas for communication systems, proposed by the applied electromagnetics group, have passed all the severe qualification tests for naval use and can therefore be mounted on board the new Multi-purpose Offshore Patrol Vessels (PPA) of the Italian Navy CNIT RaSS Lab has reached a fundamental milestone in the development of the new generation of naval antennas. The long
CNIT announces a Public selection for the assignment of: 4 “CNIT ideas” awards, 3 of which reserved to fixed-term researchers of type A/B and 1 reserved to Postdoc, for the presentation of project proposals based on both European and National funding opportunities; “Silvano Pupolin” Scholarship, established in memory of prof. Silvano Pupolin, director of CNIT in the three-year period 2008-10 and
The XXII Italian Meeting on Electromagnetics will take place in Cagliari, from September 3 to September 6, 2018. It is organized by the Italian Society of Electromagnetism. This prestigious event will be a meaningful opportunity for scientists coming from different universities to meet and exchange their experiences and results. It will also be an opportunity of training for students,
CNIT in collaboration with 11 European partners is carrying out the Horizon2020 project called ReCRED – From Real-world Identities to Privacy-preserving and Attribute-based CREDentials for Device-centric Access Control. Started in 2015, the project aims for solving the main problems of authentication and online identity management through the use of the passwords: the password overload, referring to the inability of
The CNIT/Roma Tor Vergata team led by Prof. Stefano Salsano has been awarded the first prize (40K€) in the “Interworking” stream or the SoftFIRE challenge (https://www.softfire.eu/open-calls/softfire-challenge/). The final evaluation of the competing teams took place during the 3rd Fed4FIRE+ Engineering Conference in Paris on March 15th. The work concerns the deployment of arbitrary overlay topologies over multiple testbeds and
European project IRIS (www.ict-iris.eu) has concluded with the delivery of a ground-breaking device based on silicon-photonic technology. The demonstrated device is a fully-integrated transponder-aggregator for metro networks, and allows switching and routing 12-channel signals from 4 directions to 8 ports. The ground-breaking aspect of the device is its size: everything is reduced to a 8×8 mm2 silicon photonic chip
The device capable of sending complex signals on optical fibers promises to turbo the internet and telecommunications, making communications much more efficient. It is a revolution comparable to that occurred in electronics thanks to smaller and more powerful chips. Described in Nature Photonics journal, the device was born in Italy, from the Institute of Communication, Information and Perception Technologies (TeCIP) of
