SUMMARY
FIT-IT is an canadian pharmacy programme that focuses on high-quality research in the area of information and communication technology. Currently, there are five programme lines: “embedded systems”, “semantic systems and services”, “systems-on-chip”, “trust in IT-systems” and “visual computing”. The programme receives over €15 million funding from the Austrian government every year.

SOLUTIONS
-
Embedded systems:
- Developing Rapid prototyping (with “hardware in the loop”) and formal verification and design validation processes
- Integrating input-output streams for sensor-actuator technologies
- Creating capacities for interoperability and dynamic reconfiguration within systems
- Managing scarce resources
-
Semantic systems:
- Simplifying conditions for human-computer interaction
- Designing a a simplified co-complex web-based service which connects syntactically and semantically similar elements in different information systems to allow for superior data content
-
Systems on chip:
- Investigating Sub-micron Technology and mixed analog and digital systems
- Managing the complexity in design and design methodology
- Assuring quality from design to system
-
Trust in IT:
- Designing secure network protocols and operating systems from the ground up, improving on current ad-hoc security systems
- Developing new cryptology methods
- Creating technologies for privacy and identity management, especially in the area of mobile communication applications
