European Commission plan for regulating artificial intelligence in the Europe...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
The proposal, published by the European Commission, establishes technical and ethical standards that would influence the development and use of AI in health care and other industries.
The rules call for strict enforcement of data quality and requirements that AI developers take steps to eliminate bias in their algorithms. Among the provisions that caught our eye:
•AI systems should be audited to examine the quality of data used to train AI products, as well as how it was gathered and selected, to determine whether adequate steps were taken to ensure algorithms are free of bias.
•In cases where data provenance could not be adequately vetted, AI systems may have to be re-trained on European data using the EU’s quality standards.
•Human oversight of an AI’s conclusions would be required when individual rights or safety are at risk. In such situations, patients would also need to be informed that AI systems were being used.
We work in turning Data into Wisdom for the convenience of all care stakeholders involved into our integrated and interdependent system. We will surely follow EU AI Guiding Principles…….

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

• Development and promotion of an ecosystem supporting SMEs business through a
structured dialogue among SMEs, large companies, investors and public authorities
• Design and implementation of a network of regions working together to take advantage
of regional funding instruments enabling a wider range of SMEs, start-ups to get funding
in the early stage of business development but also to develop an interregional and
cross-sectorial network mechanism to foster the cooperation in cyber risk management
between specialized/no specialized regions
• Participation of East EU SMEs in the development of the European cybersecurity market
Structure
• SWG4.1 SMEs, start-ups and high growth companies
• SWG4.2 Coordination with activities in EU countries and regions
• SWG4.3 Support to East EU Members
WG4 - Support to SME's, coordination with
countries & regions
16. 16
The regional cooperation among all stakeholders is a strategic resource for:
The EU industrial policy: Cybersecurity requires coping with the fast-developing threat landscape and
technology evolutions
A strong regional cooperation among top-class universities, research labs and private companies
(both operators and providers) is instrumental in the setting of an ambitious ecosystem supporting
the quick emergence of start-ups with products / services that effectively reach the market.
The cyber risk management: Our analysis revealed that 24 clusters /regions are already investing many
human and financial resources in the development of cybersecurity capabilities
An interregional and cross-sectorial network mechanism should be implemented to foster the
cooperation between specialized/no specialized regions (information sharing, incident response, best
practices, trainings costs shared at regional level).

• ECSO hosted a kick-off meeting on the role of regional cooperation on cybersecurity (29th March 2017)
• 11 regions, 4 DGs (REGIO, CNECT, GROW, JRC), 5 national public administrations and 2 industrial associations
• EC has given a global picture on EU investment mechanisms
• The dialogue revealed some common challenges: training and education, cost sharing on test industrial
platform/infrastructure, the need of information sharing on attacks and risk
Actions proposed (ref: ECSO WG4 position paper)
• Mapping regions, clusters, and SMEs’ associations in Europe with interest in cybersecurity market and thus develop
a clear view of what is the specification and added value of local/regional cooperation both in terms of industrial
ecosystem and risk management for SMEs
• Specific need on workforce development: provide information on training available at regional level in order to
facilitate the link between high level skilled students/trainees and SMEs
• Sharing the best practices of regional calls/tenders supporting SMEs and facilitating their integration in applicative
solutions tested by large groups.
• Elaborate a strategy of interregional cooperation between regions specialized in cybersecurity (e.g. Britany) and
regions with other industrial specializations ( e.g. Puglia Aerospace District) in order to share costs and capabilities
