The iBrussels Wireless Campus project aims to create a permanent test zone and demo area for context-aware urban applications through a partnership with industry and government. It functions as a living lab for over 10,000 users and an experimental facility hosted by engineering groups. The project develops generic components and platforms to link the living lab and testbed activities and focuses on mobile web 2.0 and internet of things technologies. Oyble is an example application that was developed to address scheduling and notification needs on campus and serves as part of the larger "Virtual Service Delivery Platform" being developed by the project.
Presentation we gave at iLRN 2015 conference in Prague on July 13th, 2015 together with my colleague Ralf Klamma. We present our initial work about a construction exhibition and advertise Open Standards, Open Documentation and Open Source!
The document summarizes the wireless campus demo zone project at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The demo zone aims to be a permanent test area for developing and evaluating mobile applications and services involving 10,000 users. It offers a living lab environment for projects in areas like education, health, culture and more. Several example applications currently under development are mentioned like applications for navigation, radiation monitoring, and interactive museum guides.

The document provides an introduction and overview of Scilab software. Some key points: - Scilab is an open-source software for engineering and scientific computations, developed by Scilab Enterprises. - TBSS became a business partner for Scilab in Singapore and Vietnam in 2013-2014 to oversee Scilab activities like training, projects, and user groups. - The Scilab Challenge project promotes the use of Scilab in academic institutions by having students work on projects using Scilab tools and potentially present their findings at an international conference.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Prof. Dr. Pieter Ballon on living labs and smart cities. It provides an overview of IBBT, a research institute in Belgium, and its work establishing living labs as open innovation platforms since 2003. This includes pioneering trials of new technologies with users. IBBT's iLab.o offers services like user selection and testing of new products/services to generate insights. The presentation agenda outlines sessions on living labs, smart cities projects in Europe, and how future internet can impact these areas and foster innovation ecosystems across cities and regions.
Software Managers requiring access to infrastructure to test out and validate their new products in the cloud, mobile, wireless, and wired network space will be interested to hear about the various testbeds and their unique capabilities. Come and hear about the opportunities: • Testing new software at scale • Open Access (= Free access) - up to hundreds of servers to conduct scaling experiments • Some funding available to support tests • Example software test process: o write script to deploy 50 servers o write script to simulate events from 1 million users. o deploy software under test o measure key performance indicators over 24 hour period o upgrade and reiterate
The document provides an overview of the Multimedia Lab at Ghent University and iMinds research institute in Belgium. It discusses the organizational structure of Ghent University and iMinds and describes the research activities of the Multimedia Lab, including social media analysis, visual content understanding, and deep machine learning. It also outlines some specific projects on Twitter data involving hashtag recommendation, named entity recognition, and social television.
The AEGIS project is a European Commission FP7 project with 20 partners from 10 countries that aims to mainstream accessibility in ICT development environments through open source solutions. It hopes to achieve third generation embedded accessibility by developing prototypes for rich internet applications, desktop software, and mobile devices that are accessible for blind, motor impaired, cognitively impaired, hearing impaired, and speech impaired users. The project involves end users, experts, and developers and will evaluate prototypes in 2011 before releasing demonstrators and final prototypes in 2012.
