Daniel Sebastião and João Gonçalves are working on the next deliverable from WP1 (D1.4) and on some book chapters. Lúcio Ferreira was in the University of Basel (15-18 March) working with Manolis Sifalakis on the implementation of the Wireless Mesh Network research using the GP architecture. António Serrador and Luisa Caeiro have contributed to WP3 on Integration Scenario description and Storyline about Virtual Networks instantiation. António Serrador, as WP3 Physical Layer Awareness contact person, has contributed to the PLA paper final version. Filipe Cardoso has finished editing a paper on Physical Layer Awareness to be submitted to IEEE Communications Magazine. Also, a new project deliverable, D5.5, addressing Physical Layer Awareness aspects is being prepared to be delivered by the end of May.
