4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Many of the GROW members are preparing their presentations for the next meeting to be held at IST hosted by GROW.
EARTH – http://www.ict-earth.eu
Filipe Cardoso and Monica Branco have finished the work on the analytical power model for LTE Base Stations, and the results were presented in the EARTH meeting in Dresden
Net!Works – http://www.networks-etp.eu
Luis M. Correia contributed to the project review.
monIT – http://monit.it.pt
The 2012 edition of the Prémio monIT competition is about to start, themed “Radiofrequencies in the Daily Life”, applications will be open from October 3-14. All high schools will receive posters and leaflets in the meantime. An update on the global measurement results was prepared as a press-release, and so, several references to the project have appeared in the media. Information actions in schools and hospitals will be resumed in October. The scheduled actions can be found at the project website, in the calendar section.
SAIL – http://www.sail-project.eu
Lúcio Ferreira and Luisa Caeiro have started the work for the next milestone, due Jan. 2012, and are working on the interfaces of the OConS architecture. Daniel Sebastião and João Gonçalves are starting the work for the interim report of WP-A.
