5. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu
Daniel Sebastião contributed to the Deliverable D1.1. Filipe Cardoso issued a new version of the IST document on the Physical Layer Awareness (PLA) Theme; this document was discussed in the Bilbao meeting. He has also contributed to a document issued by Antonio Serrador with the PLA WP3 contribution for D3.1. António Serrador and Luisa Caeiro have participated in the WP3 meetings in Bilbao, discussing the future Virtual Networks architecture, D3.1 contributions and also on themes meetings; they will also prepare a new contribution update to D3.1. Martijn Kuipers and Lúcio Ferreira attended the WP5 meetings, where there work on the topics of resource management and Wireless Mesh Networks was discussed.
COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org
Contributions to the Newsletter have been provided.
eMobility – http://www.emobility.org
Deliverable D1.1 “Proceedings of Workshop on Applications” is being finalised. Work on the Strategic Applications Agenda is ongoing, and members’ lists are being updated.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
In October the continuous monitoring network in Entroncamento and Portalegre were removed, and the final report on these networks is currently being prepared. The projec’s team also participated in the ICNIRP workshop, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where it presented a poster regarding “Results from Electromagnetic Fields Continuous Measurements by the monIT Project”. Also, the team is preparing the information actions in schools and hospitals, which will start by the end of October.
NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu
António Serrador attended the WPR9 meeting, where different partners’ activities and Deliverable D R.9.1, entitled “Identification of relevant scenarios, use cases and initial studies on JRRM and ASM strategies”, for which he is the editor, were discussed. António Serrador has circulated within the NEWCOM++ WPR9, the draft version of this deliverable, and updated IST-TUL’s contribution. Martijn Kuipers, together with Luis Pedrosa, have edited a document describing the Resource Description Language, which is a specification to uniformly describe resources, such as networking resources, services and communities.
WIP – http://www.ist-wip.org
Martijn Kuipers, Lúcio Ferreira and Gonçalo Carpinteiro have contributed to Deliverable D2.3 “Integration of lower layer techniques into the WIP global architecture”, namely with the “Relative MIMO Gain” and “Link Limitations using IEEE 802.11 Technology for MESH”. Martijn Kuipers and Lúcio Ferreira also made a contribution to D1.3 “Solutions: mesh networking, multi-hop relaying, cross-layer design, communities, operator/cellular assistance”, describing the “Impact of the community on the Relative MIMO Gain and cooperative MIMO concepts” from D2.3.
