Projects
[On-going]
Image processing techniques that improve the accuracy and effectivess of proteomic analysis. This research project is funded by the Greek General Secretariat for Research and Technology and aims to develop pattern recognition techniques for the analysis of proteomic data as well as new visualisation methods for the presentation of results (2005 - now).DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries funded by the EU's Sixth Framework Programme started on January 1, 2004. The DELOS network intends to conduct a joint program of activities aimed at integrating and coordinating the ongoing research activities of the major European teams working in Digital Library - related areas with the goal of developing the next generation Digital Library technologies (2004 - now).
Intelligent management of historical archives. This research project is funded by the Greek General Secretariat for Research and Technology and aims to develop methodologies and tools for the management (digitisation, storage, querying and visualisation) of the information within existing historical archives. The methods will be applied to the University of Athens historical archive, which includes manuscripts that span a period of 150 years (2003-now).
