Six new projects have been selected from the 4th EU-BR Collaborative Call in ICT by RNP and the European Commission, along with the Brazilian Secretary for Policy in Informatics (Sepin) within the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC).

EUBra-BIGSEA co-organized the International Workshop On Assured Cloud Computing And QoS Aware Big Data (WACC2017) with SECURECLOUD on 14 May. Bringing together researchers, practitioners and developers from the public and private sectors in Madrid the workshop took place in conjunction with the prestigious 17th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing CCGRID.

Every researcher needs the right tools to do their research work. Biologists use microscopes, while astronomers rely on telescopes to explore the universe. But that about scientists of future internet? Their research instruments are testbeds, programmable networks for experimentation, connected to the current Internet, which allows researchers to test new models of network architectures and applications.

High Performance Computing machinery has been used extensively in the oil and gas industries, mainly through seismic processing, which analyses huge amounts of data to produce high quality images, with valuable information about the location and properties of geological layers. These images support the evaluation of possible scenarios but existing HPC machinery takes months to create them, holding back a sector that needs faster computers of Exaflop (one billion calculations per second).
