Represents TUT in ERCIM eMobility Working Group http://wiki.ercim.org/wg/eMobili ty/ The WG aims to develop strategic basic research agenda and project proposals in the area of eMobility. To complement the activities of the eMobility European Technology Platform (ETP), the working group focuses on more (theoretical) basic research issues. The goal is long-term research projects with a more academic background, without having any commercial constrains. A strong focus lies on research addressing social, environmental problems and disruptive technologies.
Acted as a Chairman of European COST Action 290 “Wi-QoST: Traffic and QoS Management in Wireless Multimedia Networks” with more than 80 universities and research institutions from 26 countries participated. COST framework is supported by EU IST FP7. The estimated budget impact of the Action is 12 M€. The project ran from June 2004 to June 2008. http://www.cost290.org
Has established an extensive academia network. Joint research with a number of European (U. of Siena, Italy; U. of Coimbra, Portugal; U. of Wuerzburg, Germany; Karlstadt U., Sweden; Luleå U. of Tech., Sweden etc.), Asian (ETRI, R.
