Knowledge and Uncertainty Research Laboratory |
 |
|
Founded in 2014, the Knowledge and Uncertainty Research Laboratory (Ερευνητική Ομάδα Γνώσης και ΑBεβαιότητας - ΓΑΒ LAB) examines the role of knowledge and of its absence in the theory and application of information technology. Our main theoretical tools are fuzzy mathematics and the semantic web, while fields such as information visualization, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, adaptation to the user, social networks and smart cities also have an important role in the team’s research.

Mathematical Modeling and Complex Systems Laboratory |
 |
|
The group of Mathematical Modeling and Complex Systems deals with the development of mathematical and computational techniques, in order to simulate physical systems and focuses on complex systems, especially in complex networks. Specifically, the team is engaged on one hand, in the discretization of physical laws and the foundation of distinct geometries for the numerical description of physical systems in a compatible manner (maintaining the basic symmetries) and on the other hand, the team deals with the simulation and understanding of crucial phenomena, mainly in relation to complex networks and dynamic and evolutionary processes, which take place. The teaching and research activities of the team are supported by the Mathematical Modeling and Complex Systems Laboratory, as well as by the colleagues of the group, who are active in this field, both in Greece and abroad.
