The 1st European NFC competition | |
Touching the Future
NFC technology is expected to revolutionise mobile phone-based services, with the impact of new “touch” technology expected to match that of the point and click browser interface in the 1990’s.
In this context the NFC Forum and the ITEA project SmartTouch announced and invited teams to “Touching the Future”, the 1st European NFC Competition to promote innovation and excellence in NFC service development.
The goal of the competition was to promote the development of innovative and exemplary NFC services. Based on the paradigm of "the simplicity of a touch", the focus of this challenge was on the innovation, commercial potential and usability of the services as well as the quality of the design and implementation using NFC technology.
The event was looking for innovation and creativity in appliations that allow people to interact with objects and services using mobile devices. The competition also supported networking in the NFC community to excange ideas. | |

Workshop OSSPL07 of ITEA project COSI (co-located with OSS 2007) | |
The ITEA project, COSI called for participation into the workshop, OSSPL07 - Open Source Software and Productlines 2007. The workshop was co-located with the annuel event OSS 2007; The Third International Conference on Open Source Systems
Embedded industries have invested a lot in the introduction of software product lines in their software development. In addition, using open source software appears to be a profitable way to obtain good software. This is also applicable for organizations doing productline engineering. On the other hand, because of the diverse use of open source software, product line development is an attractive way of working in open source communities. In fact, the configuration mechanisms used in open source communities may be applicable within software product lines as well. In addition, product line organisations are usually involved in distributed development, which works very efficiently within open source communities. However, at resent, there is limited interaction between the open source and product line development communities.
The aim of the workshop was to explore what the two communities can learn from each other and to develop a better understanding of how the two communities can benefit from each other.

ITEA 2 Call 2 Project Outline preparation meeting | |
The 2nd Call for Projects of ITEA 2 opened 24 January 2007.
In order to help prepare a Project Outline, locate potential partners, join existing consortia or find out more about the specifics of this Call, ITEA 2 organised a two-day Project Outline preparation meeting, 24-25 January 2007 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Participation was open to all those with an interest in our 2nd Call: those who already had a concrete project idea, or those companies that are engaged in technologies or product developments that may be relevant to other project ideas.
During the meeting the participants had the possibility to present their project idea(s) in a poster session. After this session the project ideas were grouped and discussed in several workgroup sessions, where initial projects were defined.
The meeting was visited by 147 participants, representing 45 universities and research institutes, 26 SMEs and 22 large companies (37 participants from France, 28 from Germany, 25 from Spain, 17 from Belgium, 12 from Finland, 10 from the Netherlands, 6 from Israel, 3 from Italy, 2 from Ireland, 1 from Denmark, 1 from Greece, 1 from Luxembourg, 1 from Norway, 1 from Portugal, 1 from Sweden and 1 from Turkey).
