News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu
Daniel Sebastião has contributed to the development of scenarios. Filipe Cardoso has finalised the contribution to the general aspects on physical layer awareness. António Serrador and Luisa Caeiro have contributed to the development of scenarios. Martijn Kuipers has circulated within the project a document on the impact of the WP5 case-studies to the Usage and Services theme-leader.
COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org
Work on reference scenarios is progressing.
eMobility – http://www.emobility.org
Work on service description is progressing.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
monIT was present with an exhibition stand in several events, such as the JEEC 2008 in the IST campus (Jornadas de Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores) and the FITEC in Batalha (Fórum de Inovação Tecnologia e Emprego). At these events, the attendees had the opportunity to talk with the team, trying to clear any questions regarding electromagnetic fields exposure or related issues. The measurement equipment was available as well, allowing visitors to measure their own cell phone radiation. Several actions were also performed in some schools with presentations to the students who gave very positive feedback. In addition, measurements were performed in the school’s campus, which will soon be available in the portal.
NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu
IST members of WPR.1 are preparing their contribution for DR1.1, the first deliverable of the project. António Serrador has contributed to the definition of WPR.9 work plan.
WIP – http://www.ist-wip.org
Work on wireless mesh networks is progressing.
