We had a busy schedule last week in Brussels: The EIC Summit 2026 and the closing EIC Portfolio meeting. We could engage with other visitors, reconnect with colleagues, and even had the chance to demonstrate our final SYMBIOTIK prototype. The 2026 Summit welcomed more than 2000 participants, 130 speakers delivering 17 inspiring Leaders Stage sessions, …
We have achieved a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize adaptive InfoVis systems. Led by AEGIS IT Research, the consortium recently completed the development and delivery of the final prototype of SYMBIOTIK. This is the result of extensive research into smart, self-adaptive dashboards, designed to automatically adjust to the user’s needs, and prevent mental …

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 …
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 …
