EBICS

To create a biological machine, EBICS teams will work with many kinds of cells, but primarily those of three types: neurons, muscle cells and endothelial cells, which make blood vessels.

The U of I is a partner with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Georgia Institute of Technology in what is known as the Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems (EBICS) Center.

The CFONB, the standardisation office in the banking sector of France, has designated EBICS as the follow-up standard for the discontinued ETEBAC protocols.

To facilitate business activities in Europe, especially within the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), German and French banks have agreed on providing a common protocol for financial transactions on the internet which standardises communication between corporate clients and banks - the Electronic Banking Internet Communication Standard (EBICS).
