Fifth Framework Project <strong>25394</strong><br />

Public<br />

<strong>Dissemination</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

3.2.11 Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation Wien, FTW, Wien, A<br />

Within the Kplus Competence Centers framework of the Austrian government, the<br />

Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation<br />

Wien, FTW) provides a unique focal point for telecommunications research in Austria,<br />

bringing together several university institutes <strong>and</strong> the research departments of about 15<br />

industrial partners, including the big players in the Austrian telecommunications market as<br />

well as a couple of Small <strong>and</strong> Medium Enterprises (SME). The internal structure of FTW,<br />

composed of three major research areas A (Telecommunication Networks), B (Signal<br />

Processing) <strong>and</strong> C (Mobile Networks), shows immediately that mobile networks <strong>and</strong> UMTS<br />

are already well-established as a major research focus. In this context, <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is<br />

considered to be an important project for endorsing <strong>and</strong> extending the know-how in the<br />

mentioned research areas A <strong>and</strong> C. Moreover, as a direct result of FTW’s participation in<br />

this <strong>IST</strong>-project, several industry partners in the FTW consortium explicitly have expressed<br />

great <strong>and</strong> continuous interest in the research issues related to <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>. Therefore, it is<br />

planned to create a new project (AIDA) within FTW which is devoted mainly to support <strong>and</strong><br />

deepen research in the areas of QoS, migration issues, inter-domain mobility <strong>and</strong> charging<br />

for mobile environments. Currently, the preparation phase of AIDA has just started, the<br />

project begin itself is scheduled for early 2002.<br />

<strong>Dissemination</strong> of specific know-how among all FTW partners has always been a leading<br />

motivation for the close cooperation between academia <strong>and</strong> industry that forms the core of<br />

our research center. Our main knowledge dissemination strategy is based on a very short<br />

feedback-cycle between the FTW <strong>and</strong> industry via staff members from industrial partners<br />

that spend a certain amount of their time directly at the center. Moreover, regular full-day<br />

member tutorials open to all interested industry partners use to include presentations both<br />

on a survey <strong>and</strong> in-depth level. Similarly, external seminars <strong>and</strong> consulting activities provide<br />

further possibilities for presenting project results to a larger audience. Finally, due to the<br />

semi-academic environment we live in, lecturing technology of the future to interested<br />

students <strong>and</strong> thesis supervision is as well a part of our day-to-day business as publication<br />

work for international journals <strong>and</strong> conferences.<br />
