GROW continues to renew. At the start of the academic year, we have 8 more M.Sc. students on board: Bruno Pires, David Doutor, Gonçalo Fernandes, Marco Castanho, Pedro Ferreira, Pedro Ganço, Pedro Venâncio, and Tadeusz Dec. We welcome them, especially Tadeusz that is coming from Poland within the ERASMUS exchange programme.

4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Michal Mackowiak, Lúcio Ferreira and Luisa Caeiro have presented contributions at the meeting.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
Work has been progressing on simulations for exposure reduction (WP5), as well as on numerical simulations with the simplified dosimeter model (WP3). Michal Mackowiak and Carla Oliveira started the initial simulations for the Eartha data posture in 3G/4G scenarios (WP2), and the model segmentation of the Eartha model with data posture has been performed and sent to partners (WP2). Filipe Cardoso has finalised the first newsletter issue, and distributed it.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
We have contributed to Deliverables D3.1 “Infrastructure Management Foundations – Specifications & Design for MobileCloud framework” of WP3, D2.2 “Overall Architecture Definition, Release 1” of WP2 and D4.1 “Mobile Network Cloud Component Design” of WP4, addressing the RAN as a Service (RANaaS).
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
The 3rd QMR is being prepared, as well as contributions to the first year deliverables including description of JRAs.
FAQTOS
FAQTOs is a new project, just started, which continues the work performed in the monIT project, on risk communication to EMFs from wireless networks. All the project information and its website are being prepared, and will be available soon. A new contest to the secondary schools pupils is also being prepared, to be launched in November.
