Projects selected in 2008

•  I-CROSS: Impromptu, Context-aware and trustworthy service provision in heterogeneous and unfamiliar spaces

The general objective of the project I-CROSS is to formalize the collaboration of domain experts in service provision in France and Asia, develop strong and sustainable links among partners through exchange of students and researchers, co-supervise PhD students and Post-Doctorate fellows, and cultivate international industry academic partnerships.

The scientific goal of the project I-CROSS is to develop a common research platform for context-aware service provision in smart spaces, based on the integration and further enhancement of complementary solutions developed so far by the project partners. The different and complementary approaches developed by partners in Europe and Asia will allow the project to develop innovative solutions to the challenging and fundamental issue of ubiquitous context-aware service provision, which cannot be achieved by any single group.

Projects selected in 2007

• MAMI - MANET and Mesh Interconnectivity in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks

The goal of this project is to study the interconnectivity issues among different wireless multihop networks (mobile ad hoc networks and wireless mesh networks) and develop new networking algorithms and protocols for an application scenario that assumes a wireless mesh backbone interconnecting multiple mobile (vehicular) ad hoc networks.

STIC Asia will foster the cooperation among the partners in this project by providing support for:

> Personal mobility: a) exchange of PhD students and establish academic ties such as agreement of joint PhD supervision b) exchange of researcher for short periods

> Performing joint research and sharing results through the organisation of two project meetings cum workshops per year, and a monthly conference call to give a regular update of the research in progress.

> A proof-of-concept implementation of a platform for protocol interconnectivity.

Partners: Telecom SudParis, INRIA, Institute for Infocomm Research (Singapore), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Fu Jen Catholic University (Taiwan), Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India), University of Osaka (Japan)

•  Tiny 6

This project will bring together French and Asian scientists who have developed well-recognized skills either in sensor networks or IPv6 fields. Sensor network is a generic name covering different technologies. Most of them have not been standardized yet and remain prototypes. From this diversity of sensor network technologies and considering the broad experience obtained on IPv6, this project has at 3 main objectives:

> Sharing knowledge between partners, exchanging students and accessing experimental platforms available at other partners' laboratories.

> Developing common material courses that can be taught in our different Universities.

> Specifying and implementing a minimal IPv6 stack adapted to the diversity of Sensor network behaviors.

Partners: Telecom Bretagne, INRIA, Seoul National University (Korea), Information and Communication University (Korea), South East University (China), Birla Institute of Technology & Science (India, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (India)

•  Woaa! - Wireless broadband Overlay network Architectures and Applications

The goal of this project is to set up a research network between partners having developed in-depth expertise on the key issues that are essential for the deployment of advanced services for 3G Beyond. The different and complementary approaches that are taken in Europe and Asia in this domain will allow partner to develop a joint vision and understanding which is important to reinforce competitiveness.

In particular, partners will focus on

> 3G beyond service architectures

> A framework for Peer-to-Peer services compatible with Networks Operator objectives

> Service Architecture for emerging wireless broadband technologies (WIMAX).

> Performance study of transport protocols for IP telephony in next generation network

> Context-aware services

Projects selected in 2005

• ICT-ADI: Toward a human-friendly assistive environment for Aging, Disability & Independence

The main objective of the ICT-ADI project is to ensure the rapid emergence of integrated tools and systems allowing people with disabilities and ageing citizens to play a full part in our societies.

While technology is increasingly becoming an essential part of everyday life for world citizens, a special focus needs to be applied to the ageing and disabled community. ICT-ADI aims at providing solutions to dependent people, allowing them to take a full role in today and tomorrow's society.

The crucial condition to make ICT-ADI a success is to bring together a multidisciplinary team, involving 4 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and France), where each partner has substantial expertise in one or more of the assistive technologies areas. This will ensure a transversal joint program in Assistive technology.
