WP4d identity Cooperation, mobility and meetings Participants UCL, INRIA, UOP, UAQ, UP, UNISI, PARADES, KTH, LIU, LTH, CNR A new partner is joining WP4d: TUE All partners have contributed to prepare deliverables and act on milestones Established HYCON research co-operations among several WP4d partners, e.g. i) UPAT, UNIPI and KTH, ii) UAQ and KTH, iii) UAQ, PARADES and UCB, iv) UNISI and KTH; others have been agreed (e.g. between UPAT and UAQ, between UNISI and UAQ) Joint research activities work on jointly defined problems joint publications share and compare tools and jointly develop solutions

Slide4: 

WP4d identity Cooperation, mobility and meetings Student and researcher mobility Transfer of PhD students (e.g. two Ph.D. students from UAQ visited UBC, one of them also visited UPENN, one Ph.D. student from UAQ visited KTH, one Ph.D. student from UPAT visited UAQ) Several faculty and researcher visits (e.g. one researcher from KTH visited UAQ) Exchange of MSc students, also supported by ERASMUS agreements, e.g. mobility between UNISI and KTH, UAQ and KTH within the Erasmus framework, with one student enrolled for Ph.D. at KTH 3 thesis works for UAQ students at PARADES under joint coordination, with one student being enrolled for Ph.D.

Slide7: 

In the frame of the Conference on Advanced Manufacturing - ”ICT for Manufacturing”, that was held in Leuven last November 16-17 and promoted by the EC, K.H. Johansson gave a talk on ”Industrial Control over Wireless Systems: Challenges and Opportunities for hybrid Control” A paper entitled “On Hybrid Control Problems in Communication Systems”, authored by K. H. Johansson, F. Santucci, was presented at CDC-ECC’05 within the tutorial session Hybrid Control of Networked Embedded Systems K.-H. Johansson is co-organizer of “Advances in Networked Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Tools, and Case Studies”, a Tutorial Workshop at IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation Orlando, FL, USA, May 15, 2006 Dissemination activities

Action on review comments: 

Action on review comments Efforts have been spent towards formal definition of problems in the two selected scenarios and related experimental testbeds; The workplan has been focused on the two case studies related to control over homogeneous wireless networks and also the purpose of dissemination activities has been detailed; Definition of deliverables and milestones has been refined; Efforts have been devoted to define a unified view for longer term perspective of research activities; The link to industrial applications has been strenghtened
