EuroCC Montenegro presented at the 4th Western Balkans Digital Summit

HPC NCC Montenegro presented the EuroCC project at the 4th Western Balkan (WB6) Digital Summit event. EuroCC was presented withing the Inspiring Cases presentations.
The 4th Western Balkan (WB6) Digital Summit was organized in hybrid platform, 11-13 October 2021 in Podgorica, Montenegro. The third day is an occasion of organizing high level meeting, gathering the WB6 prime ministers on the common path of digital transformation and integration process. Building on the experience of the high-level regional dialogue on digital transformation, the Western Balkan Digital Summit 2021 will be held in the framework of the Berlin Process and the Common Regional Market Action Plan for the Western Balkans adopted in Sofia in November 2020.
This Summit will bring together high-level representatives of the Governments from the Western Balkan economies, the European Commission (EC), the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), business community and relevant stakeholders. The WB6 Digital Summit 2021 aims at showcasing good practices in the Western Balkans, highlighting the achievements and outcomes of the Digital Agenda, and exploring possibilities of building partnerships with the private sector, in the context of the digital transformation process.
The Summit promotes the Western Balkans digital perspective in the context of EU integration, while drawing the Path Ahead in the Digital Agenda, in order to prioritize the key objectives for the region. The Digital Summit will cover 4 main platforms: Network & Services Connectivity, Trust and Security, Digital Skills and Digital Economy.

UDG / EuroCC Montenegro will take part at the IEEE IDAACS 2021 conference

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 CoE FoodHub and HPC NCC Montenegro

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.

Collaboration between FoodHub/CoE and EuroCC (HPC NCC Montenegro)

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.

Seminar – University in the Future of Miracles, The AI Economy

On the 31st of August 2021 at the Univeresity of Donja Gorica a seminar called “University in the future of miracles” whose creator is professor Veselin Vukotic, rector of the University, was held. The idea of the seminar is to engage into discussion and exchange of ideas about books which were given on the recommendation of professor Vukotic:

  1. “The AI Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Age of the Robot”, Roger Bootle;
  2. “Superconnected: internet, digitalni mediji i tehno-društveni život”, Mary Chayko;
  3. „Change “, Richard Gerver.

The book chosen for the first seminar was “The AI Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Age of the Robot” by Roger Bootle. The presenters had the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas about the book as well as engage into discussions with all present.
