ITAPC offers the following services:
Development of Data Analysis Models in an HPC Environment.
This involves initiating the data analysis process, preparing data for analysis, and creating and experimentally evaluating suitable algorithms for data analysis. It includes data cleansing, outlier detection, classification, clustering, associative rules, and time series algorithms. Tools used include R, Weka, Qctave, and others.
Optimization of Business Process Data Visualization and Analysis, and Development of Analytical Algorithms in an HPC Environment.
This service involves the visual analysis of business process-generated data in an HPC environment using standard data visualization methodologies. It includes structural, visual, or descriptive analysis considering data multidimensionality and process complexity. Tools used include R, Weka, Octave, Gaussian, Gamess, and others.
Development of Massive Data Management and Analysis Algorithms Using Cloud Computing.
This includes the creation of "big data" databases and their experimental use and evaluation in HPC and cloud computing environments. Tools used include NoSQL, Hadoop, BigTable, and others.
Sensor and Stream Data Management and Development of Analytical Algorithms in HPC and Using Cloud Computing.
This service deals with the implementation of time series similarity algorithms, research into essential temporal properties, and algorithm applications for sensors and continually changing geographical data. Tools used include PostgreSQL, TPR indexes, streaming databases, and other applications.
Business Operations Process Migration and Data Analysis with Cloud Computing.
This involves customization and experimental evaluation of business systems transitioning to cloud computing environments. Installation and consulting for business or open-source cloud computing are also provided. Tools used include S3, OpenNebula, OpenStack, VMware (ESXi), Hyper-V, XenServer, KVM, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, and others.
Image and Sound Processing Computations and Algorithm Development.
This includes the extraction of features from simple (photos and videos) and medical images, development of fast content-based image search algorithms, and mass processing. Tools used include FFTW, WT, POV-Ray, and others.
The Information Technology Open Access Center operates under the principles characteristic of a scientific research laboratory within the faculty structure. The center’s objectives, such as providing computational resources, developing grid and cloud computing technologies, and creating an attractive center for computations and services, are oriented towards studies, scientific research, and business.
Call for Applications
All clients (including VU MIF students) must fill out a service order form and be familiar with the general terms and conditions of the VU Open Access Centers services. From now on, students will also need to provide a recommendation from a lecturer/supervisor.
