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.
