Earlier this week, Michalis Vakalellis from AEGIS IT Research had the privilege of serving as a keynote speaker at the Workshop on Awareness and Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence (ACAI), held during the pre-conference events of the popular UbiComp/ISWC 2025. The workshop brought together researchers, innovators, and industry leaders exploring the role of awareness and consciousness in intelligent systems, a timely …
Modern Security Operations Centres (SOCs) can get overloaded with information. Analysts face tens of thousands of daily alerts, fragmented across SIEM, IDS, EDR, and CTI platforms. The vast majority of these alerts are false positives but hidden among them are genuine threats that demand immediate action. This massive discrepancy between false positives and real threats …

We will be demonstrating our SYMBIOTIK prototype at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI), to be held in Bologna between the 27th and 30th of October 2025. We are looking forward to discussing with ECAI attendees (mostly researchers and practitioners) about SYMBIOTIK. At ECAI, the main objective of demo papers is to disseminate recent …
Intellectual property (IP) is a cornerstone for growth and competitiveness in the deep-tech sector. Recognizing its critical role, a dedicated initiative focused on IP for deep-tech businesses was organized by European Authorities, underscoring the importance of intellectual property as a strategic asset for deep-tech businesses. This initiative comprised two in-depth sessions held on 11 June …

The 2025 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications (ETRA), the premier conference in the field of eye-tracking, was held in Tokyo, Japan, from May 26th to May 29th. The event brought together researchers and practitioners to explore cutting-edge developments and innovative applications shaping the future of eye-tracking technology. It was a great experience, …
One and half years have passed since the first reporting meeting. Time goes by so quickly. For the second reporting meeting, all partners gathered together in Cyprus to track progress with our (new) Project Officer and reviewers. We took this opportunity to also organize our 5th plenary meeting and to celebrate the progression of SYMBIOTIK. …
Security Operation Centre (SOC) Dashboards are essential tools in the modern digital landscape. They provide a comprehensive overview of an organization’s security posture, enabling SOC analysts to monitor, analyze, and respond to potential threats in real time. An example of a SOC Dashboard is depicted in the figure below. A SOC Dashboard is a visual …
In SYMBIOTIK we have been recently exploring how generative AI can enhance human cognition and interaction. Our recent work contributes to this vision by investigating how text-to-image generation can support memory and learning. Nuwan (UCLouvain) and Luis (Luxembourg) attended IUI 2025, the ACM conference on Intelligent User Interfaces that focuses on state-of-the-art advances at the …
The annual Barcelona Computational, Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience (BARCCSYN) meeting aims to bring together researchers from computational, systems and cognitive neuroscience. BARCCSYN provides a forum for lively discussion and promotes active collaboration between Barcelona-based research groups, especially between theorists and experimentalists. Research at the intersection of computational, cognitive and systems neuroscience has a particularly strong …
As the landscape of data visualization evolves, the ability to adapt and respond to real-time data becomes increasingly important. Adaptive Information Visualization (InfoVis) systems must integrate seamlessly with real-time data streams to remain effective and impactful. This is where a message broker architecture comes into play, acting as the backbone for adaptive visualizations. Message Broker …
