O Centro de Competências em Monitorização e Controlo (CCCM) tem como objectivos:

• Juntar a experiência em sensores, electrónica e software de Monitorização e Controlo, acumulada nas várias experiências em que o LIP participa e tem responsabilidades directas;
• Facilitar a troca de conhecimentos, soluções de electrónica e desenho de software entre os membros e grupos do LIP;
• Estabelecer parcerias e contratos com terceiros (por exemplo, outros laboratórios ou a indústria) onde os nossos resultados científicos possam ser reutilizados;
• Diminuir ou evitar tempos e custos associados ao desenvolvimento de novos produtos.

Simulation

In 2017, the Simulation branch of the competence center undertook a survey of the GEANT4 competences at LIP. The following items were identified:

• LIP is a member of the GEANT4 collaboration for more than 10 years, accumulating an important expertise, both from the user and developer points of view, with an important know-how beyond applications development;
• LIP members hold expertise in several GEANT4 kernel categories;
• There is a potential to increase LIP’s contribution to the GEANT4 toolkit;
• LIP members undertake teaching activities in MSc and PhD level courses with some emphasis in GEANT4.

Big Data

The Big Data branch of the competence center developed a survey of the big-data and machine learning competences at LIP, and the following items were identified:

• Development of multivariate data analysis using advanced techniques (e.g. boosted decision trees, shallow and deep neural networks and principal component analysis);
• Expertise in modern tools used in HEP and beyond it (e.g. TMVA, Octave, Keras, SK-learn, Pandas, Theano, Tensorflow);
• Expertise in advanced methods for training and validation of multivariate analysis (e.g. use of accelerators such as GPUs, distributed training and cross-validation);
• Expertise in complex file systems and tools to deal with large volumes of data.
