Research

XLAB's main area of research is focused on the following fields:

In 2015 XLAB joined the Phishing Initiative, a consortium which includes several technology companies such as cyscon and Opera Software. XLAB's Device Monitoring is, as of June 2015, one of the four tools that the consortium offers freely to the general public, together with Opera Browser, a Firefox Browser plug-in and HitmanPro.

XLAB contributes to the open source community by upstreaming parts of code, developed within the projects, e.g. contributions to Cloudify, providing open source libraries based on OASIS TOSCA[38] for orchestrating and deploying big data technologies, within DICE project,[39] integrations and application deployments in OSv[40] and OpenStack within MIKELANGELO,[41][42] support and contributions to cloud orchestration software ManageIQ with 25 merged pull requests,[43][44][45] enhancements of the data collection service – Celiometer[46] etc.

Additionally, the company participates in other areas of research such as people's security (Pandora,[47] Odyssey,[48] TRILLION,[49] MEDIA4SEC,[50] TIMON[51]), digital culture (MOSAICA[52]), Lifelong learning (Creatin,[53] dCDDFlite[54] and other Leonardo and Erasmus+ projects), as well as in several national projects in Slovenia (DEDI).

Products

The company's ISL Online is software for secure cloud-based remote desktop control[55][56] and live chat via the Internet. The software is available on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.[57]

In 2016, the Japanese market research and consulting company, Seed Planning Inc., published results of the Japanese remote desktop market survey, ISL Online being No.1 remote desktop provider in Japan[58] with 44 percent share in the on-premises market.

In September 2015, XLAB partnered with AVG Technologies[59] to integrate ISL Online (desktop sharing technology) into AVG Business Managed Workplace 9.2[60] (remote monitoring and management software).

The 3D GIS software, Gaea+, and the application for location acquisition, Smart Locator, are used in mission-critical emergency response systems with massive datasets for visualization and analysis.[61][62][63][64] Gaea+[65] extends the NASA World Wind Java core with features for real-time rendering of geospatial information.[66]

Awards

According to a 2012 European Commission study,[67] XLAB was the third most important research organization in Slovenia in terms of European funds between 2007 and 2012, and the first private research organization. In 2016 it was placed 27th among Top 50 European SMEs in terms of Horizon 2020 signed grants; the only one from the EU-13 SME countries.[68]
