Initial
Steps
Newcastle
is taking the lead for the initial definition of DeSIRE, and
LAAS the lead for the initial definition of DeFINE. The work
is led by Tom Anderson and Brian Randell at Newcastle, and
by Karama Kanoun and Jean-Claude Laprie at LAAS, who are
working in close coordination.
A programme
of discussions and visits with various potential key
partners, particularly from industry, is now being
undertaken, aimed at developing at refining the initial
plans and building up the core membership and management of
the IP and the NoE. Their creation is an "open" process, so
that a widespread call has gone out for Expressions of
Interest from industry and academia and a joint workshop is
planned to discuss the scope of both DeSIRE and DeFINE, and
to start the formulation of their detailed technical
content, the identification of their full initial
membership, and the allocation of management and
coordination responsibilities. (This workshop is scheduled
for 25-27 November, in Pisa.)
Following
this we will seek discussions with the proposers of other
IPs and NoEs aimed at determining possible adjustments to
the scope and goals of DeSIRE and DeFINE, and exploring
potential mutually advantageous co-operations, and also with
IST officials regarding how well the draft proposals fit
with the FP6 instruments and objectives.
