General information
Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) is a non-profit entity which is linked to the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and is the research host of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It promotes R&D in all different research disciplines of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Within ICCS, the I-SENSE Research Group is very active in areas dealing with Crisis Management and Security, Environmental monitoring, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Virtual & Augmented Reality and Logistics. ICCS is very active in the broad fields of Emergency Communications, Distributed Architecture for Real-Time Systems and Protocols, Positioning systems and Sensor Networks all applicable to disaster environments.
Role in the project
ICCS undertakes the role of the Technical and Scientific Coordinator of CURSOR and is the leader of WP5 (Information management, system integration, and decision support). ICCS will lead the CURSOR system integration activities, as well as the design and development of the CURSOR communication infrastructure and the real-time localization system. In WP1, ICCS leads the Technical Specification and System Architecture task to steer the activities of user requirements’ translation into technical specifications. In WP6 ICCS is the leader of the two cycles of the physical system testing and field integration. In the corresponding trials all the developed components will be validated and optimised (parallel work with WP5) through a series of exercises. ICCS contributes also to the dissemination activities and standardisation activities of the project.
