_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY SmartSantander project is building an experimental test facility for the research and experimentation of architectures, key enabling technologies, services and applications for the Internet of Things in the context of the city. The envisioned facility is conceived as an essential instrument to achieve European leadership on key enabling technologies for IoT, and to [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY This project exploits the use of Future Internet capabilities to enhance clinical services and extend these services seamlessly from the hospital to the home. Smart rooms in hospitals and homes support ubiquitous data collection, context and personal identification. Physiological and environmental data are collected, integrated and utilised to early detection of problems with [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The current decoupling between applications and network layers leads to inefficient resource utilisation and over-provisioning, where the network connectivity is not tailored to the cloud dynamics. Thus, the convergence of the IT world with the optical network world is being addressed by GEYSERS. This project re-qualifies the interworking of legacy planes by means [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The proliferation of the Internet and wireless access technologies introduced the constant mobile paradigm, where users want to be always connected making use of the best available networks and technologies. In order to provide seamless connectivity among the new wireless access technologies, such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3GPP (UMTS, HSPA and/or LTE), the [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Crowdsensing refers to the ability to detect the presence of pedestrians across an urban environment, and to react to that information accordingly. The CrowdSense project brings together two research teams from the University of Madeira (Portugal) and University of Oulu (Finland) to develop and deploy an urban infrastructure for pedestrian crowdsensing and modelling. [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Taking advantage of Portugal’s mobile phone penetration rate of 117% this project provides a service of cloud counselling support to young members of communities facing social issues via sms communication. This initiative relies on a network of qualified volunteers that log in to a robust Web-based interface in order to manage conversations. The [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Currently, the market offers a great variety of online applications. The number of available online applications increases at a fast pace, they evolve quickly and tend to become more complex and specialized. At the same time users become more demanding and want to choose, mix and match tools from different vendors that best [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY NDIX is a unique open platform to facilitate competition, innovation and the development of new digital services by offering unlimited and secure connectivity between suppliers/developers and (potential) users of services. NDIX is the prototype open digital marketplace. It interconnects FTTH and FTTB/I infrastructures and allows companies, institutes and households to connect over 1 [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY DINOS for Smart Cities is a hybrid system, developed on Android mobile platform, which collects and manages information and aid users while travelling in a city by making use of localisation services. It incorporates an intelligent information system managing the status of the queues at the attractions automatically and thus distributing visitors among [...]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Research and development of mobile information systems in the Future Internet of Things is about delivering technologies built around management and access to real-time heterogeneous datasets.  Analyzing these enormous volumes of disparate data on mobile devices requires context-aware smart applications and services.  3DQ (Three Dimensional Query) is our novel mobile spatial interaction (MSI) [...]
