National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing
Mr. Stevan Cakic from UDG, participated in the Montenegrin event organized under European Researchers’ Night 2021 on September . This was a 12-hour virtual event and Mr Cakic gave a presentation on his research work at UDG. The presentation discussed digital transformation and the use of AI/ML and HPC different domains and gave information about main projects being implemented at UDG. The presentation can be seen on YouTube, here.
UDG researchers will be presenting the paper titled “Forecasting Day-Ahead Electricity Price with Artificial Neural Networks: a Comparison of Architectures”, authored by M. Pavicevic and T. Popovic, at the upcoming IEEE IDAACS 2021 conference. The conference will be taking place on 22-25 September 2021. The paper presents the use of AI/ML algorithms and CNN architectures for prediction of prices for the electric energy markets. More info on the conference is available at the following link.
ABSTRACT – The spot price prediction for the electric energy markets is a widely approached problem, used by many participants in the market. The ever-shifting rules and regulations, rising percentage of the electricity on the market being produced by solar and wind plants and many stochastic factors influencing it make the market price of electricity very volatile and hard to forecast. Many methods are used to tackle this problem, and their efficiency varies from dataset to dataset. In this work, we use the dataset of hourly day-ahead spot prices from the Hungarian HUPX market, and couple it with weather data for Hungary. We test various types of Dense, Recurrent and Convolutional neural network architectures and report on the results.
Cooperation between Centre of Excellence, FoodHub and HPC NCC Montenegro was initiated due to the possibility of overlapping a significant number of activities in the field of digitization and computer simulations. Main purpose of cooperation is finding several software solutions that would greatly improve food safety, public health and food business.
Thanks to the program and support of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the Faculty of Food Technology, Food Safety and Ecology in cooperation with the Directorate for Food Safety, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Affairs, implemented the project “Support to National Dietary Surveys in Compliance with the EU Menu methodology (sixth support) – “The adults’ survey”, including subjects from 10 to 74 years old ”, which is the largest study on eating habits of the population of Montenegro. The possibility of applying IT solutions is based on the fact of generating a large number of important data from this project. Data from this project could be of great importance for the development of software solutions for risk assessment in the field of food safety.
Considering the importance of the HACCP system and the long period of time required for its implementation, the meetings also discussed the development or improvement of software that would greatly simplify and speed up this process, which would make great progress in the business of food businesses and to the entire food safety system.
EuroCC project has past its 1 year anniversary. It has been a great first year and we are looking forward to the exciting road ahead of us.
