Workers in any "hot" research area need continuous exposure to and analysis of activities
in the wider community. This work package will provide an initial review of the state of
the art in key areas, and ensure that this information is kept up-to-date on a rolling basis.
The intention is to ensure that the programme's work is not "blindsided" by industrial
developments or emerging standards. By maintaining a rolling surveillance activity the
programme will avoid becoming "fossilised" at an early stage of device evolution -
unacceptable in a fast-moving area. The expense is a slightly more complex development
environment.
The State of the Art (SoA) reviews will be conducted around research themes and
constituent topics. Contributions will be developed that review specific pieces of existing
work, taken from scientific papers, reports and information of the WWW. Researcher will
review work in a specific area of interest to them and provide a synthesis of the state of
the art. Peer review of these reviews and syntheses will ensure the work performed will be
of sufficient quality to supportfuture publications.
Deliverables
(Number, Due time in months from programme start):
D1.1 (T0+9): Year One: Smart Space Technology Report 1
D1.2 (T0+35): Year Two: Smart Space Technology
Report 2
Technology
reports will survey recent developments in the field and if necessary feed back
into a programme re-definition phase to re-address the new situation.
