News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu
Daniel Sebastião prepared a list of ideas for disseminate the project results. Luisa Caeiro and António Serrador have issued a contribution to D3.1.1 “Virtualisation Approach: Concept (Final)”; in this contribution, the CRRM and CVRRM role in the network virtualisation process was described.Filipe Cardoso has finished analysing all the deliverables that were already delivered and circulated a draft document within WP5 entitled “A Cross WP View of Physical Layer Awareness in 4WARD”. Within Deliverable D5.2.1 “Updated version of the functional architecture”, Lucio Ferreira was named editor of a section on “Wireless Mesh Access”; concluding remarks were edited for this section, congregating the contributions from the different partners. A new Joint Task ForMux/InNetMgmt TC45 was defined by the project board to address the EC review comments on superposition of WP4 and WP5 work on different areas; Lúcio Ferreira was named co-leader from WP5, together with Slawomir Kulinsky, from WP4 (TPSA); his activity has been already started, the Description of Work having been defined and contributions to partners requested.
COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org
António Serrador presented a Temporary Document, entitled “A Model to Evaluate CRRM QoS Parameters”, at the meeting in Valencia. Lúcio Ferreira, although not attending the meeting, has prepared a presentation on the status of SIG A for the meeting in Valencia, which was delivered by Luis M. Correia. The activity is proceeding as expected; two papers using the reference scenarios were presented.
eMobility – http://www.emobility.org
The Applications Group Meeting and Workshop was held in Madrid, Spain, and a document is being compiled of the discussions held.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
The team continues the information activities, with actions being held in schools, health care centres and in collaboration with some of the Centros de Ciência Viva in the country. Contacts were established with Mundicenter Shopping Centres in order to make some public information actions in the next few months. Prémio monIT, a pioneer contest on radiofrequency at national level for the secondary schools students, will be launched in the next weeks.
NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu
A joint contribution to the WPR.1 Deliverable R1.2 “Intermediate short report on activities and results” is being finalised by Carla Oliveira. António Serrador, as WPR9-WG1 responsible, had a meeting with Virginia Corvino from CNIT, Bologna University in Valencia, Spain; in this meeting the next WG1 contribution to DR.9.2 was discussed and defined.Lúcio Ferreira contributed to Deliverable DR 11.2 “State of the art of research on opportunistic networks, and definition of a common framework for reference models and performance metrics”, both on the JRA on “Heterogeneous and opportunistic wireless mesh networks” and on the JRA on “Resource Description Language”.
News about training courses organised and attended by people from GROW
Luis M. Correia lectured a course for technicians at INA (Instituto Nacional de Administração) on “Technologies for Wireless Networks”, on 2009-05-13.
