Wine production and technology go hand in hand to assert Portugal status

Portugal has a high potential to produce quality wines, especially due to its climate and geological conditions, wine variety and tradition in the sector. But if it is certain that the natural conditions have contributed to strengthen the country’s position as the 12th largest wine producer in the world [1], it is also true that combining technology and these innate factors is key to strengthen this status.

Corporate BIP / AEROSPACE VALLEY

"We were particularly impressed with the professionalism of the CSIG* team. By working with a research and development institution, there’s always the risk of disregarding the need to focus on the user; in this particular project, the team focused on developing a friendly interface for the users of BackOffice or smartphone. And all was done within the deadline." (François Aumonier, European Project Manager)

HASLab/INESC TEC starts European project on Big Data

In February, the High-Assurance Software (HASLab), INESC TEC’s Privileged Partner, will start working on the European project LeanBigData (Ultra-Scalable and Ultra-Efficient Integrated and Visual Big Data Analytics). The main goal is to solve three great challenges of analytical processing in Big Data: the cost, in terms of resources, of scaling big data analytics for streaming and static data sources; the lack of integration of the existing technologies to manipulate Big Data and high response times; and the insufficient end-user support leading to extremely lengthy big data analysis cycles. INESC TEC’s Information and Computer Graphics Systems Unit (USIG) is also participating in this project.
