News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu
Daniel Sebastião continued the work on usage & scenarios definition and on the Deliverable D2.1. Filipe Cardoso has finalised the document on the impairments associated to the Physical Layer Awareness (PLA) and has elaborated the contribution to D2.1, on Requirements for the PLA Theme. Luisa Caeiro and António Serrador have prepared a couple of presentations to be presented in the WP3 meeting in Helsinki, related to the future virtual networks framework and the Physical Layer Awareness, and Luisa Caeiro prepared a presentation on Cooperative Radio Resource Management. Martijn Kuipers and Lúcio Ferreira are working on a description of the Generic Path Framework, and on an overview of the Generic Resource Description Framework proposal; they have also been actively involved in defining and describing the innovations in WP5.
COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org
Lucio Ferreira will present 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 is preparing a presentation on “Exploiting the use of MIMO in Body Area Networks” for the next meeting in Trondheim, Norway.
eMobility – http://www.emobility.org
Work on service description is progressing.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
monIT continued to perform several public actions, in schools (Faro, Lagos, Torres Novas, Entroncamento and Portalegre), in Faros’ Hospital and in Taviras’ Municipal Library. A continuous monitoring station was installed in a school at Portalegre and 3 other in Entroncamento. These public actions will continue through June, being scheduled in Ourém and Entroncamento.
NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu
António Serrador, together with Nuno Cota, have circulated within the NEWCOM++ WPR.9 IST group, two documents: one related with JRRM State of the Art, and the other with a contribution to the WG1 Reference Scenario. Lúcio Ferreira and Martijn Kuipers have contributed to the WPR.11 deliverable with a description of the Resource Description Language.
WIP – http://www.ist-wip.org
Lúcio Ferreira and Martijn Kuipers presented the ongoing work on All-Wireless Networks at the meeting in Bern, Switzerland, on 2008-May-21/22.
News about training courses organised and attended by people from GROW
Luis M. Correia lectured a course for medical doctors and environmental technicians on “Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation from Mobile Communications Systems”, on 2008-05-16.
