The European research project "Platform for the Deployment and Operation of Heterogeneous Networked Cooperating Objects" (PLANET) was reviewed in Brussels in December 2011. This was the first review of this project, conducted by the European Commission and it was very successful as the comment shows "Excellent progress; the project has fully achieved […]
We are pleased to announce the formal kickoff of the new project GAMBAS. The overall objective of the project is the development of an innovative and adaptive middleware to enable the privacy-preserving and automated utilization of behavior-driven services that adapt autonomously to the context of users. To meet this objective the consortium […]
The short paper called "A Peer-based Approach to Privacy-Preserving Context Management" was presented at the CONTEXT conference (CONTEXT 2011) in Karlsruhe, Germany. It describes how the PECES Middleware covers context management in a privacy-preserving manner while showing that it is capable to run on resource-constrained devices such as sensors. The conference […]
We are very sorry that Flavio Fabbri left our group on August 31st 2011. Flavio has found a new job in Aachen. We wish him well in his future.
Ms Carina Kratz is our new colleague in the project administration office. She will join the group working on the administrativ and financial issues of our projects, organizing events and meetings etc. Mr. Ngewi Fet received his M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering in August 2011 from the University Duisburg-Essen in the field of Reliable Systems and is […]
The paper called "Supporting Environment Configuration using Generic Role Assignment" was presented at the Intelligent Environments conference (IE’11) in Nottingham. It describes mechanisms used in the PECES project that can be used to configure environments using context information. The conference was held for the 7th time, this year at the […]
The source code of the middleware developed by the PECES project has been released. Using generic role assignment, the middleware supports the dynamic formation as well as the secure and trustworthy interaction of smart spaces across the Internet. A detailed description as well as concrete usage examples can be found on the PECES Googlecode website […]
Currently, electricity is mainly generated by a few far-off high-capacity generators. However, due to environmental concerns, electrical energy is increasingly being produced by small scale generators located close to the point-of-use. This decentralized model for energy generation will bring with it many challenges to maintain grid robustness. The NOBEL project […]
The European research project "Cooperating Objects Network of Excellence" (CONET) was reviewed in Brussels in July 2011. This was the third review of this project, conducted by the European Commission and it was very successful. The project partner Technische Universität Berlin has shown a demo of the federated testbed and AICIA from Spain has shown a demo of the integrated […]
