Ontonix and SCS Sign Collaboration Agreement

Como, March 14-th 2014. Ontonix, and SCS Super Computing Solutions, a CINECA company, have signed a partnership agreement, aiming at joint development of OntoNet™ MPP and solution of the so-called Extreme Problems. Such problems are generally multi-disciplinary in nature and involve millions of variables. Their solution requires non-traditional model-free approaches such as those developed by Ontonix and offered in its Quantitative Complexity Management (QCM) engine Ontonet™.

"Extreme Problems are very difficult to treat with conventional means and generally lead to states of persistent inefficiency, huge losses and/or delays. In the majority of cases, this is caused by hidden and excessive complexity. It is therefore paramount to re-formulate such problems from a totally new perspective, aiming at the quantification of complexity and determining its makeup" said Dr. J. Marczyk, President of Ontonix. "The scalar version of OntoNet™ is able to tackle problems of moderate size, involving thousands of variables. The development of a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) version of our QCM engine will allow us to attack problems of a totally different magnitude and nature" he added. "Our partnership with SCS is not only of strategic importance to Ontonix, it allows us to develop new success-fee-based business models" he concluded.

The SIA of the Chinese Academy of Science Purchases OntoNet

Como, Beijing, September 9-th 2013 - The Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has purchased OntoNet™, the World´s first Quantitative Complexity Management (QCM) system. OntoNet™ employs the most recent developments in mathematics and complexity science and enables its user to actually measure the complexity of all sorts of dynamical systems. The real-time QCM engine, OntoNet™ has been under development since 2003 and has now reached its sixth release.

About the SIA

Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA), founded at November, 1958, was first called Liaoning Institute of Electronic Technology at the beginning, and then in April, 1960 the name was changed for Institute of Automation Attached to Liaoning Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. During the year 1962 and 1972 it was called Northeastern Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1972, the institute was formally named Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

By the end of 2012, there were more than 800 employees in the whole institute, including Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), more than 300 technologists with senior titles. Find out more about the SIA here.

Ontonix Obtains Contract From Unicredito Bank to Develop a Rating Alert System

Como, July 5-th 2013. Unicredito has awarded Ontonix a contract for the development of a Rating Alert System capability. The objective is to develop a resilience rating-based pre-alarm system that will identify a-priori portfolios of defaulting companies. "The system shall be developed based on previously performed research with Unicredito, which has identified a recurring pattern in portfolios of companies that default, namely a substantial increment of complexity one year prior to default", said Dr. J. Marczyk, President and Founder of Ontonix. "Rapidly increasing complexity prior to a "trauma" is a scheme that we observe in numerous systems and applications. Research performed with thousands of companies has further confirmed that and today, in the framework of collaboration with Unicredito, we shall be developing a software solution to automate the process of identification of the ones that default" he added. "Having indications of imminent default is a capability providing precious time which is particularly important in a turbulent and globalized economy" he concluded.


About Unicredito

UniCredito is one of Europe´s leading commercial bank with strong roots in 20 European countries. Our network, which is present in roughly 50 markets, includes more than 9,200 branches and over 155,000 employees.
