Overview
Mobile Devices Laboratory (MDL) has as major goal to promote research and development in the fields of Computer Networks & Systems (with major focus on Web and Mobile Systems) and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, MDL deals with a wide range of cutting-edge technologies related to web, cloud and mobile computing, smart devices, social media, gaming, natural interactive devices as well as computational intelligence and multi-objective optimization.
The research and development at the 12-seat MDL laboratory is supported by modern technological equipment:
The Laboratory's equipment includes a cloud of 40+ Smartphones and Tablets, a cabinet/rack-mounted CISCO routers and switches, a structured internal computer network for pilot testbeds, a number of testbed computer workstations, electronic and computing devices as well as web and virtual platforms.
Currently, the MDL team is composed of three university academics, one post-doctoral researcher, one PhD student as well as four postgraduate-level and two undergraduate-level software developers.
The MDL research team has more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in international journals and conferences, and participated/is participating in several national and international research projects including Integrated and Innovation projects of the national Research Promotion Foundation, EU JUSTICE and EU LIFE with more than 2M euro total funds, in the last two years.
The MDL development team successfully developed or participated in the development of several applications, systems and platforms and published more than 20 multi-platform applications in various stores (Google Play, Microsoft Apps & Games, Apple store) with more than 200,000 downloads.
The MDL team also boasts several distinctions such as the Education Leaders award for its technological contribution in the society, innovative applications and systems that won two national Microsoft Hackathon competitions and two National Microsoft Imagine cup competitions as well as a smart system that ranked in the top-33 in the World Online Imagine Cup Semi-final and participated in the World Finals at Seattle, USA.
Additionally, MDL has an extensive profile of national and international technology transfer activities to the industry and established collaborations with several software companies securing in this way various industrial grants and public procurements, such as the Microsoft Open Government Data Initiative Grant.
