Barcelona has received the iCapital award for introducing new technologies that help the city engage with its people and the people with the city. In this context BESOS was mentioned in the blog of Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission. Find more information about the blog here. Find more […]
The project is part of the EU FP7 program, whose main goal is the gradual reduction of the EU’s carbon footprint via development and application of new technologies, i.e. making the European economy more energy efficient and sustainable through use of advanced technology. In this context, the aim of BESOS […]
Cities and urban areas are an ideal platform for researchers and practitioners to test new technologies, concepts and applications. In Europe and the US, the population living in urban areas accounts for more than 75 percent. As a consequence, applications that are targeting urban areas can positively impact a significant […]
The Networked Embedded Systems Groups has moved. From Oct 9th, 2013 you can find us in Essen, Schützenbahn 70. Please check our Contact and Directions page for more information.
Who does not know: Everything is new, the building confusing and full of people – one is likely to get lost. Especially in airports, malls and fairs the orientation often is difficult. In this situation a localization app would be very useful, as they are already available outdoor. This is […]
We are very happy that Mr. José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, has chosen the NOBEL project as an example for a successful energy efficiency project for smart cities in his keynote address at the Covenant of Mayors Ceremony 2013. For the complete speech please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Wxdts5OAk The NOBEL project with its demonstration and evaluation […]
