…As you set out for Ithaca hope your road is a long one,
... Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη, να εύχεσαι να ναι μακρύς ο δρόμος, γεμάτος περιπέτειες, γεμάτος γνώσεις...
Quoting from Ithaka, poem by C. P. Cavafy, this is the spirit behind ITHACA. Full of adventure and full of discovery…
The Internet of THings & AppliCAtions Lab (ITHACA) was established in 2020 (ΦΕΚ τ.Β’1795_11-5-2020) as a research and teaching lab of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Western Macedonia, Kozani, Greece.
The research interests of the Laboratory focus on the exploitation of the Internet of Things (IoT) in areas such as precision agriculture, smart energy networks, smart cities, modern computer and telecommunications networks, digital health applications, and cybersecurity in horizontal applications, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and privacy, blockchain technology, 5th and 6th generation portable networks, and cloud computing.
ITHACA composes of several research units and topics:
- Development of IoT applications and services;
- Smart cities;
- Cybersecurity and privacy tools and services for IoT ecosystem;
