4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Many of the GROW members presented their work in the meeting held at IST hosted by GROW.
EARTH – http://www.ict-earth.eu
Filipe Cardoso and Monica Branco are developing a new version of analytical power model for LTE Base Stations, to be delivered to the EARTH project by the end of the year.
Net!Works – http://www.networks-etp.eu
Luis M. Correia is preparing contributions to workshops.
monIT – http://monit.it.pt
Applications for the 2012 edition of the Prémio monIT competition went on October 3-14, and 84 teams (from 57 schools) are now in the contest. Good luck to them! Information actions in schools and hospitals have been resumed in October, with several actions already scheduled for the coming months. Also, a new monitoring continuous network was installed in Macedo de Cavaleiros Secondary School, and more will be installed in the next few days. Results can be seen in the monIT Project website.
SAIL – http://www.sail-project.eu
Lúcio Ferreira and Luisa Caeiro are working for the next milestone, due Jan. 2012, on the interfaces of the OConS architecture. Daniel Sebastião and João Gonçalves are working for the interim report of WP-A.
