Previous: T7.2    --    T7.3    --    Next: T7.4      WP: WP7 Title: Cooperation with related RTD initiatives
Start month: M1 (Oct 2010)
End month:  M36 M39 (Dec 2013)
Leader: CNIT
Participants:  CNIT  ALU  LQDE  TELIT 
Objectives: 

• Set up a list at project start of projects and initiatives that are related to the topics handled in ECONET and that represent a strong interest for cooperation. At this early stage, cooperation is envisaged with, but not limited to the following projects:
  • "The Energy Efficient Internet Project", funded by NSF, linking by USF;
  • "Energy Efficient Digital Networks" project and the U.S. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, linking by USF.
  • "Energy-Aware Radio and neTwork technologies - EARTH", funded by EC, linking by ALU and TELIT.
  • "Green Touch" initiative by Bell Labs of Alcatel-Lucent, linking by ALU.
  • "ICT for Energy Efficiency - ICT4EE" forum, linking by TELIT.
• "Cognitive radio and Cooperative strategies for POWER saving in multi-standard wireless devices - C2POWER", funded by EC, linking by LQDE.For each of these projects a partner will take the responsibility of the liaison throughout the project duration.
• The Cooperation with such initiatives, fora and R&D project will aim at:
  • Exchanging and comparing perspectives on next-generation energy-efficient networks, technical knowledge and results and main achievements;
  • Creating synergies for impacting on standardization bodies in a way effective as much as possible;
  • Participating to forum activities (e.g., ICT4EE) in order to create consensus and common visions and make the impact on standardization easier.
  • Creating inter-workable energy-efficient solutions, protocols and technologies for future network technologies (e.g., between ECONET wired solutions and EARTH wireless ones);
  • Organizing and/or participating to common events, workshops and open panels/discussions in order to maximize the impact and the soundness of EC efforts in the field of energy-efficient ICT.
