CMR Consorzio Milano Ricerche

www.milanoricerche.it

Consorzio Milano Ricerche (CMR) is a non-profit research consortium established in 1986 by the Universities in Milano and a number of industrial companies. Its mission is to perform industrial research and technology transfer through cooperative projects linking its partners and other companies. As far as the ICT sector is concerned Milano Ricerche has been developing specific competences in knowledge management, focusing in particular on probabilistic modelling and approximate reasoning along with data analysis, computational machine learning for data mining. Its competency is strongly focused on the application of probabilistic methods to sequential data analysis, prediction and anomaly detection in sensor networks. Since 2002 the Quality System of Milano Ricerche is certified UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 for Research Project Management and for Continuous Vocational Training.  

 

Role and contribution to the project:

CMR will be involved in:

• Development of novelty algorithms for sensor data analysis applied to SHM, diagnostic and prognostic based.
• Design of the sensor network data modelling for SHM, with focus on the integration and fusion of sensor data.
• Architectural design of the wireless sensor network, for the issues that concern the integration of multiple sensor data into a centralized point for their analysis

 

Personnel envolved:

The ICT Unit, involved in HECTOR, has been developing specific competences in the area of data analysis, computational machine learning for data, text and web mining focusing in particular on probabilistic modelling and approximate reasoning. In the last years the most significant activity has been in sensor networks, data integration, design of complex queries and “stream reasoning”.

 

Key persons:

• Daniele Toscani, PhD
  senior researcher, head of ICT unit. He has been working at CMR as software designer, developer and project manager in research projects mostly about computational data analysis and ambient intelligence.

• Francesco Archetti
  General Manager of CMR and Full Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Milano Bicocca. He is coordinator of many research and innovation projects at the European and national level involving both SMEs and some major Italian companies. His research interests focus on Ambient Intelligence, Data/ Web/Text Mining, Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology.

• Ilaria Giordani, PhD
  research associate. She works for CMR in the research area of Data Mining and Machine Learning.

 

Business strategy:

CMR participates to various research project funded by the EDA, the European Commission and by National institutions, together with partnerships with companies. In these projects CMR has acquired wide expertise in sensor data analysis techniques for diagnostics and prognostics, with production of software components and publishing of research papers on journal and conference proceedings. A wide staff of highly skilled researchers, from the area of machine learning, robotics, computer vision, permit at Milano Ricerche to endorse the creation of new enterprises in high-tech fields. The participation to HECTOR will allow CMR to increase the know-how in the field of multi-sensor data analysis and sensor networks design, proposing new techniques and methods from the area of machine learning. The cooperation with the members of the consortium will bring future development of joint research and technology transfer.
