GTEC is currently involved in PRESENCIA, whose aims are mainly to construct a theory of presence based on empirical observations from neuroscience, to extend ‘presence’ beyond just similarity of response between virtual and real stimuli, in order to use the capability of virtual reality for sensory enhancement and to extend the understanding of presence to co-presence - the sense of being with other people in a shared virtual environment, including the situation where those 'other people' are entirely computer generated. |

TID was involved and is currently involved in some EU-IST projects: SMEPP – Secure Middleware for Embedded P2P Systems(IST-33563) (STRP project) SMEPP produces a generic middleware for embedded peer to peer systems that will implement new security primitives for the specific attacks in this type of systems. A new specific interaction model specific for peer to peer interactions is defined. The middleware implements the necessary services to support this interaction model. Together with the middleware infrastructure, customizable a component framework is developed. This framework provides the tools necessary to adapt the middleware infrastructure to different embedded devices and networks. Two validation applications are being developed: environmental monitoring of industrial plants and in mobile telephony and context aware computing. |

Fondazione Santa Lucia (FSL) is a nationally renowned hospital for neuromotor rehabilitation. Its hospitalization activity dates back to 1960. During the 80s, intense research work on the study of neurological damage was promoted and funded. Italian and foreign scientists, all from universities, participated in this high-level work. Since 1992, FSL holds the status of Scientific Institute for Hospitalisation and Treatment of National Importance (IRCCS) and High-level Specialisation in euromotor Rehabilitation, in recognition of its constant commitment to clinical, research and teaching activities. A modern, high-technology six-storey building, covering a total area of over 30.000 sq. m, hosts more than 2.000 in-out patients per year (suffering from cerebrovascular disorders, neuro-muscular degenerative disorders, brain and spinal cord injury-related disorders). |
