Digital Technologies for Aerospace
Aerospace today is definitely one of the most technologically intensive sectors, deeply connected with leading sectors such as: materials technologies, telecommunications, autonomous navigation systems, robotics and human-machine interfaces in extreme conditions.
Developments in these sectors, coupled with enormous advances in digital technologies, are causing a radical transformation even in many of the traditional sectors, seemingly far from the domain of aerospace.
CRS4, now a member of the DASS, joins this development process, with its spatial data modeling and management capabilities, and with the COSMIC project, funded by the Italian Space Agency, which since 2009 has started a development chain of new technologies for human space exploration.

Game-based Interaction and Technologies Smart Environments and Technologies Geographic Information SystemsHPC for Energy and Environment
The challenges set by energy efficiency, renewable energy, exploration geophysics, sustainable land use and natural resources management are gravely important for industrial innovation, regional economy and social development. These challenges can best be met by incorporating the contributions of science and technology into interdisciplinary solutions that can benefit greatly from mathematical modelling, high performance computing (HPC) and information and communication technology (ICT). The resulting software spans a wide range of answers and gives rise to leading applications and optimised services deployed on state-of-the-art infrastructures.

The Visual and Data-Intensive Computing team is dedicated to the research and development of innovative solutions for the acquisition, creation, processing, distribution and exploration of complex and/or massive datasets and 3D environments. We are particularly interested in the creation of: widely applicable enabling technologies for scalable processing and analysis of data (big data, data analytics, automation, machine learning, distributed computing); visual computing systems and methods (computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer vision, image processing, innovative display solutions and human-computer interfaces); specialized solutions for the acquisition, integration, distribution and analysis of data in the context of industrial processes, health and biomedical research (data modelling and management, clinical interoperability, traceability, reproducibility, data provenance). Although our work is generally cross-cutting to many application domains, we are particularly active in the fields of urban computing, bioinformatics, health informatics and cultural heritage.
