This presentation is a brief description of our international project on Utility Services. This project deals with Big Data, Open Data, R analytics. Universities and Industry working together sharing knowledge and expertise. Only by private funding by the moment. Knowledge and technology transfer is our main goal.

2. OMUS: Theoretical Models on Optimization
of the Utility Services
• Energy:
o Pricing and Consumption
• Water:
o Distribution and Consumption
• Waste:
o Recycling and Reduction
Proposal Acronym:
OMUS 2014-2018
Type of Founding Scheme: Collaborative
project University – Industry.
Large-scale integrating international project.

3. Motivation - Abstract
• The main objective of this project will be energy conservation, waste
recycling and reduction, waste collection and transport route
optimization, and water conservation and optimization.
• This project aims to combine both work and research output to obtain a set of
indices, measurements, and industry-appropriate optimization models in many
countries.
• Partners from Industry, together with Universities, are collaborating on this
project in order to obtain the best rates of usability, improve know-how, refine
models and test results. A working agenda and frequent meetings among
participant are crucial for the duration of the project.

9. Background and OMUS Today
- 2011: Southwest Jiaotong University and Complutense University sign
agreement document. A previous similar agreement already signed between
UCM in Madrid and USON in Hermosillo.
- 2008-2014: G-TeC research group serves on scientific committees as well as
organizing committees of several international conferences in the PRC:
- FLINS 2008, Xiamen;
- FLINS 2010, Chengdu;
- ISKE 2011, Shanghai;
- ISKE 2012, Beijing;
- ISKE 2013, Shen Zhen;
- PIC 2014, Shanghai
- Research groups discussed new issues regarding utility services and agreed upon
improvements in modeling. Meetings in Hermosillo, October, 2013; Shanghai,
May 2014, Madrid, July 2014.
- All partners are now working together on Phase 1 and Phase 2, mainly on data
collection and integration from public Open Data Bases and their storage and
organized distribution in suitable servers on the cloud to be ready to scale in size
and computing.

10. More background
Agreement of cooperation between G-TeC research group and Madrid City
Environmental Department. Development of apps for recycling and other
social activities in health and wellness.
Other agreements with Spanish Industry for improvement of the research
and common aims of analysis.
We are OPEN
We are open to collaborate with other researching groups or students
from universities/business/research centers which want to share our
challenges with great motivation on these amazing areas.
Open also to drive together a way to European Projects within Horizon
2020 or other private or public funding.
