FET-Proactive


FET Workshop on Pervasive Adaptation - was held in Brussels on 28 February 2007


The purpose of the workshop was to discuss and share emerging research challenges on this new topic among different disciplines and to facilitate early community building. Participants were stimulated to discuss how the challenges of pervasive adaptation translate to their area of expertise, what their experience could contribute to pervasive adaptation, and how they see the potential impact of pervasive adaptation.
