SPEAR – Smart Prognosis of Energy with Allocation of
Resources

SPEAR was a pan-European research project proudly bearing the ITEA label. The consortium consisted of 22 partners from five European countries. As the name suggests, SPEAR aimed to spawn ground-breaking research results and prototypes for energy optimisation in industrial production processes.

SPEAR’s heart is an extremely flexible and highly generic optimisation platform. This platform hosts a comprehensive set of optimisation algorithms – each one facilitating an effective and profitable energy optimisation of highly complex production processes. SPEAR does not focus on isolated industry sectors, rather, a broad spectrum of application domains like production processes in common plants, production lines, buildings, hybrid drives, and wind turbine drive trains is supported. Moreover, the energy-specific optimisation of existing and new production plants during virtual commissioning and during the running production is supported.

SPEAR overcomes available approaches by means of a unique mechanism. Instead of using estimated or simplified models for the simulation-based optimisation, our solution makes use of the real device-provided simulation models in order to produce highly accurate forecasts for the energy consumption of industrial production processes. The accuracy of these forecasts together with the developed optimization algorithms enables a significant reduction of energy consumption and costs.

GECALLIA: Geolocation System for call routing based on
Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Web.

GECALLIA aims to fulfill the need of providing ubiquitous telecommunications for the users. No matter where the user is or the kind of device is using to carry out the communication. GECALLIA platform automatically and transparently to the user, redirects incoming calls by means of an AI engine. The end-point of the incoming call can be a fixed line, a mobile phone or even a voice over IP (voIP) client. The end-point is selected taking into account the context of the call and user preferences, as for instance, the availability of connections, characteristics of the incoming call, the user current location, the activity being performed at that time (agenda) and the user own preferences for groups of contacts. Therefore GECALLIA provides a «virtual integration» of voice services, offering flexibility and adaptability when routing voice traffic, deciding at a given time over which service the call will be routed.
