Brainstorming on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PCC) - Vienna, 27-28 July 2005
FET is working to identify new promising areas for long-term research in the forthcoming 7th Framework Program of Community Research. In this quest it is being helped by the FET Coordination Action Beyond the Horizon, which is organising brainstorming meetings on several topic areas with high potential. One of these areas is Pervasive Computing and Communications, and this page refers to a brainstorming meeting which was held in this context in Vienna on 27-28 July 2005.
This document (PDF) details the challenges which were identified during the meeting, sorted according to the priority decided by the experts by voting, including the name of the designated rapporteur. For each challenge also the authors of the related presentations are listed.
You are warmly invited to publicly post your comments to this document through the FET Open Forum on PCC
