Workshop: Concertation in FP6
An important aspect of FP6 programme implementation is the inter-project collaboration. The mechanisms to realise such collaboration need to be well thought early enough in order to be effective.

The objective of this workshop is to give the opportunity to the co-ordinators of on-going FP5 projects and new FP6 proposals selected for negotiation to meet and openly discuss ways to achieve an efficient co-operation in the future.

IPs and NoEs may include similar mechanisms at project level. To avoid duplication of effort, the Concertation activities should be defined taking into account those mechanisms.

The experience on organising such co-operation, acquired within the FP5-IST area of Mobile/Wireless/Satellite Technologies, could provide a starting point for this discussion to set up the basis for defining concertation (PDF, 15.3KB) in the FP6-IST area of Communication Technologies.

At the last Concertation Meeting, most of the new Integrated Projects and Co-ordination Actions presented their views. At the present meeting contributions by NoE's, STREPS and remaining Integrated projects will complete the picture.

Available presentations so far:
Please note:
  • The expenses incurred by participating to this meeting are not eligible for funding for the projects whose contracts are not "in force" at the time of the meeting.
  • The participation in this meeting should not be regarded under any circumstance as a formal commitment by the Commission to give financial support to new FP6 projects as this depends on the satisfactory conclusion of contract negotiations.

Workshop on System Architectures beyond 3G
Chair: Ralf Toenjes
Many emerging FP6 projects introduce new concepts for system architectures beyond 3G. On the other side the FP6 projects can build on findings from the FP5 projects in the SB3G cluster. To workshop will provide a forum to discuss synergies between new projects and to exploit the results from FP5 project findings for the emerging FP6 projects. During the meeting we will discuss requirements for future architectures, review current approaches and identify key challenges. These challenges can be topics for further workshops and cooperations between projects.
Agenda:
  • (30 min. incl. discussions per presentation)
  • Axel Jahn (DLR): "Convergence of WLAN and mobile networks in 3GPP: the WirelessCabin approach"
  • Nicolas.Chuberre (Alcatel): "IP Maestro Architecture"
  • NN: "IP Daidalos"
  • Andreas Schieder (Ericsson): "IP Ambient Networks"
  • Didier Bourse (Motorola): "IP E2R"
  • Josef Noll (Telenor): "Mobile services in your virtual home - the IST-ePerSpace approach"
  • Discussion: Requirements, key challenges, possible synergies and next steps
