TIC
A Blockchain-as-a-Service that reduces the complexities of setting up a federated decentralized ecosystem, making its deployment simple, configurable, dynamic and easy.
TAC
TAC embraces the development of techniques that improve efficiency and inject intelligent insights into operational and mission-critical social media businesses through guided visualytics.
SMART
SMART provides a semantic contextualisation, abstraction and democratic-decision making framework capable of finding and building socially-entrusted interest group communities.
CONF
The CONF is for planning cost-effective distributed cloud infrastructures for a decentralized application, automating the service deployment and configuration, monitoring and adapting the runtime system to ensure the business value.
