4. Projects

News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.

 

4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu

Daniel Sebastião continued the work Deliverable D2.1. Filipe Cardoso has updated the contribution to D2.1, on Requirements for the PLA Theme; he has also delivered a document with the IST-TUL contribution on Terminology for D2.1. António Serrador has prepared a contribution to WP3 scenarios on virtualisation architecture. Luisa Caeiro is preparing a new version of the work on Cooperative Radio Resource Management in future virtual networks framework. Martijn Kuipers and Lúcio Ferreira are working on a document on the description of the Generic Path Framework.

 

COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org

Lucio Ferreira presented the ongoing work of SIG A on reference scenarios at the meeting in Trondheim, Norway, on 2008-06-03/06. Four canonical scenarios have been defined, to be finalised by the end of July. Carla Oliveira gave a presentation on “Exploiting the use of MIMO in Body Area Networks” at the meeting in Trondheim, Norway.

 

eMobility – http://www.emobility.org

Work on service description is progressing. The preparation of the workshop in October is going well.

 

monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit

monIT continued to perform several public actions, this time in the Odemira municipal health centre and also in Entroncamento and Ourém municipalities. These public actions will continue through July, in several locations across the country in cooperation with the “Ciência Viva” national program, mainly with the “Engenharia no Verão” action. Three continuous monitoring stations were installed in Entroncamento and two localised measurements were performed there as well. Additionally, the monIT team made an oral presentation in the BEMS annual meeting in San Diego, CA, USA (http://www.bioelectromagnetics.org).

 

NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu

António Serrador has circulated within the WPR9 IST group, the DR.9.1 Deliverable ToC and Deliverable administrative issues. António Serrador has presented the DR9.1 ToC, schedule and the IST-TUL contribution on JRRM SoTA.

 

WIP – http://www.ist-wip.org

Martijn Kuipers and Lúcio Ferreira have contributed a document on the RMG to be included in the WP2 deliverable.
