We have mixed feelings now, after the conclusion of the final review meeting and the BIECO project itself. Three years ago, the BIECO project started, and it was our first project in Cybersecurity.

We're excited to share that our new research project, REPLACER (Recycling plastic and creating hybrid living materials by capturing greenhouse gases to make valuable products), is officially underway. Our project, which is part of the M-ERA-NET Program, has a budget of more than 1.6 million EUR. On the 24th and 25th of August, we held our kick-off meeting in Leipzig.

We are excited to announce the BIECO Cybersecurity Workshop, which will bring together cybersecurity workers, experts, and enthusiasts from a variety of fields. As technology keeps getting better, it's more important than ever to keep our digital world safe and sound.

Vienna, Austria – From May 8th to 10th, the city of Vienna hosted the 7th edition of the International B2B Software Days, a renowned conference dedicated to the latest trends and innovations in software development. This year, the event brought together hundreds of professionals from around the world, including representatives from our company.

We are thrilled to announce that our esteemed partner, Prof. Dr. Jose Barata, will be awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in recognition of his remarkable contributions to the field of science.

One of our dearest projects is the MUSHNOMICS project, where we are implementing a revolutionary digital platform that can make Machine Learning ubiquitous even in mushroom growing. Many challenges have been raised, like Data Privacy and company secrets, but also the need for Open Data for scientific use.

We love Machine Learning. The way the computer extracts rules and patterns from big amounts of data is fascinating. But centralizing data on a central cloud comes with many problems, that involve large transfers and data privacy that can be compromised. Federated Learning comes with a set of tools that solve both of these problems at once: Data does not need to be transferred to a central cloud, so no privacy to be compromised and no large transfers.

We are glad to announce the publication of our article "Orchestrator Architecture and Communication Methodology for Flexible Event-Driven Message-Based Communication". This article presents a novel architecture for communication in a Loosely Coupled way for Service Orchestration. This means that Services do not need to know their place in the toolchain, but rather communicate directly only with a central point, which we call an Orchestrator.

Between 05 - 07 September 2022, in Salamanca (Spain) was held the ON-SITE Conference - International Joint Conferences HAIS-SOCO-CISIS-ICEUTE & STARTUP OLÉ and our coleagues Oliviu Matei and Daniela Delinschi have presented two articles.

Between 28-30 September 2022, in Aachen was held the ICT-AGRI-FOOD Mid-term research seminar where our colleagues Oliviu Matei and Daniela Delinschi have presented the MUSHNOMICS and GOhydro projects. 

Following our recently published article, “Data Based Message Validation as a Security Cornerstone in Loose Coupling Software Architecture”, we are glad to present you a six minute video containing a short summary of it.

We were very excited to participate in the first transnational meeting within the FAST Project, which took place in Cluj-Napoca.
