CEFRIEL competences cover all the Information and Communication Technology areas.
Multidisciplinary skills, together with professionalism and the ability to execute complex ICT projects, make of CEFRIEL a unique reality in Italy.
We are able to innovate traditional products and services through ICT, from electronics and software for white goods to embedded integrated systems into agricultural vehicles.
Analog and Digital Microelectronics
- Analog and digital electronic systems with high performance components
- Ad-hoc solutions design: from radio frequency transceivers to electronic circuits for industrial and domestic applications
- Electronic control by designing and integrating sensors featuring both wired and wireless connections and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) components
Wireless and Wireline
- New technologies for local wireless networks and for broadband fixed and mobile access
- Protocols and algorithms to guarantee the quality of multimedia and interactive applications
- MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks) optimized routing protocols based on the stability of links, power consumption and the relative position of nodes
Multimedia Processing
- New technologies in multimedia contexts, by creating efficient compression algorithms and developing components for audio and video applications
- Digital Rights Management (algorithms for digital copyrighting, watermarking and fingerprinting)
- Digitalization of the TV signal respecting the standards of digital diffusion (Digital Video Broadcasting for satellite, terrestrial and cable, standard and high definition)
Networks
- Communication protocols, systems, architectures and solutions for innovative networks to support the deployment of modern applications in the different contexts (Geographical, Local, Home and Personal Networks)
- Advanced technologies for security and networks management
- Next Generation Networks
Embedded Systems Design
- Methodologies, technologies and instruments to satisfy critical aspects like cost, computing power, flexibility, dissipated power and size of the system
- System-on-a-chip, integrating reconfigurable hardware (FPGA) with processors for embedded applications and real-time operating systems
Middleware
- Integration and interoperability for knowledge intensive applications characterized by explicit and formal description of the semantics of information (through ontologies) to create services that are implicitly flexible and dynamic
- Top security in distributed contexts: decentralization (absence of a single central authority), mobility (users can move around freely), group dynamics (the components of the system can continuously change) and trust (no possibility of obtaining a priori guarantees on users)
Data Management
- Knowledge extraction models from stored information: from traditional data management systems to environments for data warehousing and data mining
- Data structures and applications that act efficiently on large amounts of data
- Technological solution to manage data: micro databases, relational and XML technologies, and databases optimized for web applications
Software Engineering
- Innovative methodologies and technologies to develop complex and distributed systems
- Architecture of the software systems and to the organizational aspects of the development process
- Methods and techniques to develop quality software, by supporting all phases of the software life-cycle, from its invention, to its design and on through its evolution
Automation and Control
- Systems and algorithms for the autonomous control and management of vehicles, mechatronic systems, and industrial plants, in order to improve their performance and to enhance their safety
- New methods and algorithms to achieve an accurate and efficient control of dynamic systems and develop dynamic models from data collected on the plant
