Call for experts for the project “Space Internetworking Center”

This call for interest is announced in the framework of the project “Space Internetworking Center” with the acronym SPICE (Grant Agreement Number 264226) which is funded by “Capacities” of the Seventh Framework Programme. The project is approved as a “Coordination and Support Action” under the “Research Potential” Scheme and has a duration of three years (01/09/10-31/8/13).

A. BACKGROUND

Internetworked Systems Laboratory (InterSys Group) has made significant contributions to the architectural requirements, objectives standardization and prototyping of future Space Internetworking strategy. InterSys Group is a leading group in Europe in Space Internetworking, participates in the Consultive Committee for Space Data Systems and in several other European Bodies. The Internetworked Systems Laboratory has a total funding of around 4 million euros. The Project Coordinator, Vassilis Tsaousidis, is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Democritus University of Thrace, Greece and the Director of Internetworked Systems Laboratory.

SPICE relies on three major objectives: to broaden the group’s accomplished research innovation and engineering capacity both by mobilizing resources to visit first-class cooperating European institutions and hiring top class researchers from abroad; to support a revolutionary scientific agenda, as far as Delay Tolerant Networking is concerned, that boosts European competitiveness and supports a wide spectrum of applications; and to institutionalize and establish a permanent quality framework for innovative research activities in the convergence region of Thrace. Apart from the required infrastructure update, SPICE aims at promoting research through the publication of special issues in high-quality journals, the organisation of regular lectures and presentations from distinguished scientists, as well as the hosting of a panel session and two workshops on promising networking technologies, such as 4G communications.
