Overall activity sponsored by three EU projects:

ProSense – FP7 Project
http://prosense-project.eu/
Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate
Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers:
Towards Pervasive Networking of West Balkan Counties and the EU

The overall objective of the ProSense project is to improve the research potential and capability of research centres in Skopje (FEEIT) and Belgrade (ETF) and to develop them into wireless sensor networking centres of excellence capable of driving the research agenda and serving as a seed for
development of other similar centres in the region.
Two use cases, one for each WBC centre, have been selected as particularly interesting and
beneficial for the WBC region:
• Personal health monitoring systems (including systems for support of independent living)
and
• Emergency/disaster recovery applications.


We-Go – FP6 Project
http://www.wego-project.eu/

The project "We-Go" aims to transfer and to adapt successfully "e-Government Good Practices and
Knowledge" and will enable follow-up implementation projects including accompanying
measures targeted to reinforce and innovate e-Government research in WBC together with EU
partners.
The first year of We-Go draws to a close and it was a successful year, because we created
awareness and attention and received a lot of commitment from relevant governmental
institutions in Western Balkan countries. The participants have availed all opportunities to spread
the idea of We-Go in the framework of various meetings and conferences.


HiPEAC

European Network of Excellence on
High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation

Due to technology limitations, the domain of high-performance processors is experiencing a
radical shift towards parallelism through on-chip multi-cores and chip customization, leading to
heterogeneous multi-core systems. Furthermore, the commodity market, the supercomputing
market and the embedded market are increasingly sharing the same challenges, leading to
convergence of the three markets.
