Content is King: HIIT research covered by Scientific American

ebingham — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:44:07 +0000

The Scientific American features section (13/12/12) covers the PSIRP and PURSUIT research projects led by HIIT.
The new Information-Centric Network (ICN) designs propose to make the network more content aware and thus reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and mitigate attacks against the networks.

- "The PSIRP projects laid the foundations for publish/subscribe style information-centric networking" says professor Sasu
Tarkoma, one of the original proposers of the PSIRP project.
- "The Scientific American article gives a very nice overview of the two well-known ICN proposals. The Content Centric
Networking (CCN) from PARC has become very popular in the research community".

Kernel Methods, Pattern Analysis, and Computational Metabolomics

rousu — Tue, 15 May 2012 07:02:57 +0000

The KEPACO group develops machine learning methods, models and tools for data science, in particular computational metabolomics. The methodological backbone of the group is formed by kernel methods and regularized learning. The group focusses in learning with multiple and structured targets, multiple views and ensembles. Machine learning applications of interest include metabolite identification, metabolic network reconstruction and pathway analysis, chemogenomics as well as biomarker discovery.

01.03.2011 Sounds of Helsinki receives funding from Aalto Media Factory

Aalto Media Factory granted HIIT 20k€ for development work to be done in UIx'
Musiquitous together with Adaptive computing group. The funding makes possible
of further development of Capella, a mobile music player, which logs interaction
and context data. Capella prototype will be used to research some of the
concepts of Sounds of Helsinki, a platform for location-based music services.

Field tests with users will be done in August 2011.

ChemBioMod

parkkine — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:08:12 +0000

ChemBioMod project of Statistical Machine Learning Group group is a collaboration project with Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM). The ChemBioMod consortium brings together experts from machine learning, probabilistic modeling, biology, and medicine.

The aim of the project is to develop and apply novel machine learning methods into modeling of the biomedical effects of small molecules, drugs and diseases. Currently we are working on data-driven modeling of gene expression data to identify biological processes activated by chemical compounds.

S3 = Screen x Space x Social activity

kkuikkan — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:26:04 +0000

Keywords: public display, big screens, multi-touch, S3D, cinema gaming, pervasive gaming

S3 is funded by Tekes Tila-program

Research goals:

The project S3 has as its goal to bridge and interlink physical and virtual spaces with innovative digital media services and novel interaction technologies. The S3 project develops the concept of ubiquitous space media that fosters social activity and rich interaction using large-scale digital displays in connection with physical spaces.

Research statement:

Our aim is to build, test and evaluate service prototypes in business-viable contexts, including cinema theatres, exhibitions and festivals. We will also propose tools and processes of ubiquitous space media production. The project results can be utilized broadly in designing ubiquitous space media concepts for entertainment and other engaging media experiences.

Now in print: "Host Identity Protocol (HIP): Towards the Secure Mobile Internet" by Andrei Gurtov

wwwadm — Thu, 15 May 2008 09:50:18 +0000

Andrei Gurtov

15 May 2008 - One of the challenges facing the current Internet architecture is the incorporation of mobile and multi-homed terminals (hosts), and an overall lack of protection against Denial-of-Service attacks and identity spoofing. The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an integrated solution to these problems. The book presents a well-structured, readable and compact overview of the core protocol with relevant extensions to the Internet architecture and infrastructure.

The covered topics include: the Bound End-to-End Tunnel Mode for IPsec, Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers, extensions to the Domain Name System, IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability, integration with SIP, and support for legacy applications.
