Projects

1999-2001 EU FP5-IST myTV: personalised services for digital television
To develop, standardise, implement, validate and demonstrate a consumer platform with built-in local storage, for personalised services in digital broadcasting and broadband communication.
2002-2004 EU FP5-IST P2People: 'Common Interests' search engine and collaboration platform
To research & develop a P2P collaborative framework and a prototype application to allow people to form “common interest” groups and provide those groups members with new ways to communicate, collaborate and make business together.
2002-2003 EU FP5-IST Muffins: MUltimedia Framework For INteroperability in Secure (MPEG-21) environments
To investigate the problem of description, delivery and protection of rich-media content, and to propose a complete solution framework for usage of that content.
2003-2005 EU FP6-IST Tiramisu: The Innovative Rights and Access Management Inter-platform SolUtion
To develop a complete end-to-end framework solution for digital media consumption, consisting of hardware and software focussing on interoperability, use of open standards, and protection of intellectual assets.
2004-2006 EU FP6-IST Content4All: Cross-platform tools for community content publishing
