Visionary research on ultra-fast information processing
Ultra fast, safe and energy-saving: The increasing demands on data processing increase the need for high-speed, real-time and low-energy calculations. This also requires completely new hardware concepts. In the new FET Open project ADOPD, the participating research groups are developing ultra-fast computing units based on optical-fibre technologies that function according to the principles of information processing in the brain. Robert Legenstein (IGI) explains: "Such information processing takes place in our brain, namely by neurons in their tree-like (dendritic) branches. This dendritic information processing is highly compressed, runs in parallel and also enables non-linear calculations. And we want to transfer this to novel computer hardware."

The Topography of Family History
Reinhold Preiner (CGV) actually only wanted to explore his ancestry. But when his family tree included about 400 people, he realized that the presentation became incredibly confusing. So he researched a completely new way of visualizing genealogical data. He presented the result this year at Eurovis.
