ICT facilitating travel & migration

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) often play an important role in migration. ICT includes the use of hardware such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and PCs, and software like apps, social media platforms, webpages or digital radio. Digital infrastructures of migration are used by all relevant actors, such as migrants, governments, private actors and humanitarian organisations. They support migrants during their journey in ways that range from information campaigns on migration legislations and mediation of work, marriage or education-centered migration to advertisement of services including migrant smuggling and visa brokerage. However, the use of ICT strongly depends on the class, gender and age of a person as well as levels of digital literacy, electricity and network coverage.

Data Centres Optimization for Energy-Efficient and EnvironmentalLy Friendly INternet

Description
DOLFIN addresses the demand/response and energy stabilisation scenario of the Smart Grid by optimising the energy consumption of Data Centres (DC), accompanied, if necessary, with a respective negotiation and readjustment of the DC's Service Level Agreements (SLAs). To achieve this, DOLFIN adopts an innovative energy closed control loop that targets to deliver the following advancements:• Create an integrated poll of 4 parametric energy consumption optimisation mechanisms (eCOM).• Organise the orchestration of eCOMs at the DC level, through dynamically deployed energy optimisation policies.• Fine-tune the parametrical implementation of eCOM and contribute to their standardisation.• Create a platform for handling virtualised ICT resources in an energy aware manner, considering SLA restrictions.• Introduce the idea of synergetic DCs and implement a migration process for ICT-processing workload, complying with SLA restrictions.• Make the DOLFIN DC part of the Smart Grid energy stabilisation solution for the demand/response scenario.• Build a system that is able to take informed decisions, so as to adapt the DC's electricity consumption to the demands of the Smart Grid.• Combine traditional metrics for ICT SLA management with energy performance metrics for ICT.• Implement a DC SLA renegotiation process considering both ICT and energy metrics.• Constitute the ICT SLA metrics proportional to the energy SLA metrics in a DC.

ConnectIEM: ICT to support everyday life integration of immigrants and ethnic minority people

Description
The research study "ICT to support the everyday life integration of immigrants or ethnic minority people (IEM)" (ConnectIEM) which was co-funded by JRC-IPTS and DG INFSO, European Commission. The following external research teams collaborated in the study: the Migration and Network Society Programme (MNS) hosted by the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) of the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), the Technological and Social Change Group (TASCHA) hosted by the University of Washington, and a network of local researchers based in the target countries. The study gathered through an on-line survey statistically representative and comparable cross-country data on the ICT skills, access and usage of “connected migrants” from the main migration groups living in 8 EU Member States. It then explored the relationship between internet usage and integration processes and developed evidence-based policy options.

Antisemitismus und Islamfeindlichkeit im Kontext des Gazakrieges vom Sommer 2014 in Österreich

Principal investigator Helga Embacher (Principal Investigator)
Description
Das hier vorgelegte Projekt betritt wissenschaftliches Neuland, indem „muslimischer Antisemitismus“ nicht als isoliertes Phänomen oder ein durch Migration „importierter Antisemitismus“, sondern als Teil eines in Österreich insgesamt ausgeprägten Antisemitismus betrachtet wird. Damit kommt auch dem österreichischen Nährboden, und hier vor allem der seit 9/11 stark ausgeprägten Islam- und Türkenfeindlichkeit eine zentrale Rolle zu. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist die Frage der Reichweite, das heißt, kann von einzelnen Vorfällen oder problematischen Aussagen einzelner muslimischer RepräsentantInnen/PolitikerInnen ausgehend auf den äußerst heterogenen Islam in Österreich geschlossen werden? Neben herkömmlichen Quellen (Printmedien, Interviews) werden Social Media (Facebook, Internetforen, Websites) herangezogen. Im vorliegenden Projekt sollen Medien- und Diskursanalyse sowie die Methode der Oral History kombiniert werden.
