CISTER successful in ITEA call

CISTER achieved further success with the ESTABLISH proposal getting the label in the ITEA 3 call.

ITEA is the EUREKA Cluster programme supporting innovative, industry-driven, pre-competitive R&D projects in the area of Software-intensive Systems & Services (SiSS). ITEA stimulates projects in an open community of large industry, SMEs, universities, research institutes and user organisations.

The objective of ESTABLISH is to convert environmental (sensor) data into actionable information for users to provide a healthier and safer environment thereby improving the quality of life. Smart adaptive services providing real time feedback tailored to specific user and application needs will be developed by combining networked sensors and other data sources with adaptive models in a non-predefined manner. In this way, ESTABLISH closes the complete chain from sensor to application: collecting, enriching, interpretation, extrapolation and feedback.

ESTABLISH will lead to a wide range of new services and products that are all based on environmental sensors like optimized city and mobility planning, developing smart HVAC systems that ensure a healthy indoor environment and promoting independence of specific vulnerable groups.

The ESTABLISH consortium consists of partners from 11 countries including KPN, AllThingsTalk, ETRI, VTT and TNO. The Portuguese partners include IncreaseTime, Intellicare, Inova+ and the City of Penela. CISTER researcher Raghuraman Rangarajan is the lead coordinator for ISEP.
