The proposal’s title is CAALYX - Complete Ambient Assisting Living Experiment and it addresses the 2.6.2 Objective: "Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for the Ageing Society".

The consortium will involve nine partners. Ângelo Martins and Artur Rocha ensured the USIC’s participation.
On the 10th of May, an R&D project proposal was submitted to PASR-2006 (Preparatory Action in Security Research). The proposal’s title is CIMSAP – Crisis Information Management Service Oriented Approach.
This project is in the line of action of the MEDSI project (http://www.medsi.org) which has recently been finished, and it addresses the specific objectives of the programme: 1) Enhancing Crisis Management and 2) Achieving interoperability and integrated systems for information and communication.
The consortium involves six partners. Artur Rocha, Ademar Aguiar and Alexandre Carvalho ensured USIC’s participation.
