CISTER Researchers Eduardo Tovar, Luis Lino Ferreira and Ricardo Severino, attended EFECS 2018, that took place at the Lisbon Congress Centre - CCL .

EFECS 2018 is an international forum with a focus on 'Our Digital Future' along the Electronic Components and Systems value chain in Europe.
The organisers of this event, AENEAS, ARTEMIS-IA, EPoSS, ECSEL Joint Undertaking and the European Commission, in association with EUREKA, have joined forces to provide numerous opportunities to learn more about the latest developments, cooperation and funding possibilities in the ECS Community.
Several projects with CISTER participation were presented in the event, in the form of posters or in the form a small pitches. Additionally, CISTER members participated in several consortium building meetings, which will target the next Eureka and ECSEL calls.

Ongoing ECSEL Projects at CISTER:
Productive 4.0
SCOTT
ENABLE-S3
SafeCOP

From the 16th until the 18th of October, 2018, the SCOTT project consortium gathered in the city of Cork Ireland for a face-to-face and general assembly meetings. This is the third GA of the project and the second in 2018. This meeting was mainly used to keep track of the progress and to analyze the feedback from the reviewers after the meeting in Brussels in September 2018. CISTER/ISEP plays a key role in the project as leader of the technology line of the reference architecture, chair of the technical board, and co-lead of the aeronautics use case. SCOTT aims to build trust in IoT solutions for 5 different industrial domains: aeronautics, automotive, railway, building, and healthcare. SCOTT uses the concept of the Bubble to enhanced backwards compatibility with existing domain infrastructure, encapsulating these underlying technologies with a modern IoT interoperable and cross-domain cloud application environment with enhanced security, safety and trust.

CISTER researcher Kai Li nominated as Associate Editor for IEEE Access Journal. As the Associate Editor, Kai Li is responsible for ensuring that the publication maintains the highest quality while adhering to the publication policies and procedures of the IEEE. He will also help facilitate a rapid review process that takes less than two weeks, and coordinate the careful and critical review. His research interests include vehicular communications and security, resource allocation optimization, Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, human sensing systems, sensor networks and UAV networks.
 

Michele Albano and Luis Lino Ferreira delivered the final version of the book “The MANTIS Book: Cyber Physical System Based Proactive Collaborative Maintenance” to the publisher.
The Book is dedicated to the results achieved on the MANTIS project comprising several chapters on the different aspects of CPS-based maintenance. The book will published by River Publishers and it will be made available by the end of November.

Ramiro Robles was present in the first year project review meeting in Brussels. The review meeting was preceded by a rehearsal meeting with all the representatives of the different domains, and industrial partners. The preliminary feedback was very positive and the work in the reference architecture and aeronautics domain lead by ISEP received positive comments.
