Mesh radio networks provide a solution for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) by enabling highly responsive bi-directional communication, high data throughput, and lower deployment and operational costs compared to other options. Real-world deployments in China demonstrate the benefits of mesh radio networks in addressing the challenges of a harsh environment. Specifically, RobuNet mesh networks have been successfully deployed across several Chinese provinces and provide excellent performance in meter reading, response times, and simplifying installation and maintenance. The networks are also designed to support additional functions like remote prepayment and tamper detection.
The general purpose of operating systems like Linux, thanks to their predisposition to adapt easily to different application contexts, is a common choice for many new generation mobile devices. Being a key feature to improve mobility, energy efficiency has become a high priority design goal, and the implementation of the necessary mechanisms to optimize both power and performances can no longer be separated from the requirements of ease of development, portability and adaptability.
This work presents a formal model to define the problem of power vs performance control. We have proven that a distributed control is particularly suited to meet the goals of both adaptability and portability, without unduly compromising the effectiveness of control and its efficiency.
Starting from the current Linux solution we will advance the proposal for an extension that is better tailored to embedded mobile systems. The proposed solution has been implemented in a new Linux kernel framework named CPM which is competitive in adaptability and ensures better control on performances while still not affecting ease of implementation.

The Cisco Unified Computing System represents a radical simplification of traditional architectures, dramatically reducing the number of devices organizations must purchase, deploy, and maintain. Cisco UCS delivers end-to-end optimization for virtualized environments while retaining the ability to support traditional OS and application stacks in physical environments. This session will provide attendees with an update on new features available from both hardware and software perspectives for the Cisco Unified Computing System.
1) Traditional data center networks are rigid and complex while modern networks are moving toward flexible, virtualized models with shared storage and software-defined services.
2) QFabric is a revolutionary new switch that simplifies data center networking using a single-switch operational model with federated intelligence and a rich edge with a simple core.
3) QFabric comes in two configurations - the QFX3000-G for large cloud and enterprise environments, and the QFX3000-M for mid-sized networks, both providing high performance, resiliency, and simplified management over traditional networks.
Growing consumer demand for smart phones, coupled with the continuing performance growth of such devices, means mobile users are increasingly using applications that make bandwidth and connection demands of the carrier network. There is already a lot of data traffic on mobile networks and at peak periods that might mean congestion and slower access to data.
Network Operators, in order to deal with such demand, deploy network-based PCRF and PCEF/TDF solutions that respond to the network traffic at that particular time and offer a level of control according to various access policies.

The document discusses coverage aspects of a DVB-H system in Ghent, Belgium. It examines coverage of a single transmitter, wireless penetration of 100 buildings, and technical performance across different reception scenarios. It then calculates the required number of transmitters to provide good indoor coverage for Flanders under different scenarios involving low, medium, and high transmitter categories. The key finding is that indoor coverage requires a very high number of transmitters and is highly sensitive to carrier-to-noise ratio.
Tagging allows listeners to enhance their music experience by sending an SMS code to receive access codes for additional content. Over 4.6 million people in Flanders listen to the radio daily for 175-266 minutes. While most music content is free, 10% of concertgoers pay for exclusive content, spending more on live music than recorded. Tagger.fm aims to enhance the brand experience through interactive media that builds profiles from fan opinions across radio, TV, and print.

Results of the Apollon pilot in homecare and independent livingimec.archive
The document summarizes the results of the Apollon pilot project evaluating the use of living lab networks for testing homecare and independent living services across borders. The pilot involved transferring three such services between four living labs in different countries. A key finding was that a common cross-border ecosystem model for living labs in healthcare was not feasible due to differences between countries in areas like value networks, organization of healthcare, regulations, and infrastructure. However, living labs could still effectively serve as brokers and matchmakers to enable cross-border collaboration by addressing issues around stakeholders, access to users, liability, ethics, rules, and safety. Based on this pilot, the document advocates for a domain-specific network of smart care living labs to facilitate knowledge
