Pervasive Computing –new projects supported by the Danish Foundation for Advanced Technology
A number of grants will be available for new PhD students withing the research area Pervasive Computing at the Department of Computer Science, University of Aarhus.
The Department of Computer Science has together with the Alexandra Institute Ltd. and a number other partners recently received support from the Danish Foundation for Advanced Technology for a Project and a Platform respectively.
The Project is entitled ”Mobile Home Center – Home is Where You Are” and it is conducted in collaboration with B&O A/S. Here the focus is on developing it-support for sharing and producing private digital media across the primary home, secondary homes, hotels and fully mobile situations.
The platform is entitled ”A platform for Galileo based pervasive positioning” and it is conducted in collaboration with Terma, Dansk Landbrugs Rådgivningscenter, Systematic, Handelshøjskolen i Århus and University of Aalborg. The platform will focus on application domains such as Aviation, Precision Farming, Emergency and Crisis Management, Safety of Life applications (Indoor and outdoor), Hospital applications, Elder Care , sports and leisure activities.
The two activities above will include research in a broad spectrum of pervasive computing subjects, such as context-awareness, location-awareness, interaction design, software architecture, Web-technologi, GIS, application frameworks, security and network protocols.
The two activities represent very good opportunities to gain experience from working in innovation projects in collaboration with the IT-companies involved. Some of the grants will be realized as industrial research track where the PhD students are employed directly by the involved companies.
