NAVSHP IST Village at IBC 2005
This common exhibition, which includes a theatre for dissemination of the projects research results, responds to a hard cooperative work among different projects, a further step on top the traditional cooperation among partners within a single project.
As a fundamental milestone in the dissemination of the results achieved by NAVSHP projects, AVISTA is coordinating this common exhibition by means of organizing an IST Village inspired by the Networked Audiovisual Systems and Home Platforms domain. This common exhibition is a dissemination activity and its most important goal is to communicate the outcome of the research activities of NAVSHP projects which belong to the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).
The design of the booth hosts eight projects gathered up in "thematic islands according to their research area and focus of interest, trying to promote synergies and complementing each other. These islands are the following: Convergence (ENTHRONE and INSTINCT), Residential gateway (EPERSPACE and MEDIANET), MPEG 21 (DANAE and TIRAMISU), 3D (COHERENT) and Interactive TV (MHP CONFIDENCE). Other projects like PULSERS, TEAHA, WCAM, MHP-KDB are also participating in the theatre programme aiming at disseminating goals and communicating R+D results.
Within the booth a common area has been created as a meeting point of the NAVSHP projects with IBC visitors. This area, conceived an active environment, seeks to attract the attention of potential partners and serve as a dialogue space for discussion of current projects results and brainstorming of new ideas for future projects.AVISTA is a Specific Support Action project within the NAVSHP strategic objective, funded by the European Commission FP6 programme. It aims at supporting the FP6 projects in this area in a number of topics: concertation, projects portfolio, standardization, New Media Council, common exhibitions, etc. AVISTA partners are: ROSE Vision (Coordinator), TELVIUM, INSTITUT FUER RUNDFUNKTECHNIK GMBH (IRT), PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NEDERLAND B.V.
