Radio Interview

On the 17th of February 2004, a radio interview about the project MobileMAN and the related activities that involve the University of Applied Sciences, with both the DTI and DSAS parts was conducted. The interview was broadcasted shortly afterwards during the frame of a series of transmissions about research activity in the southern part of Switzerland:

• Claudia Brazzola, Ivan Defilippis, and Silvia Giordano; MobileMAN: da utente a nodo di rete; radio interview in the serie Usi e Ricerche; RTSI-Radiotelevisione svizzera di lingua italiana; broadcasted February 28, 2004, 1720-1735. http://www.rtsi.ch/prog/Rete2/welcome.cfm?mpg=5876

Presentations in University Courses

Interaction with University Students CNR organized a presentation of MobileMAN technologies to university students with a very high skill in information technology. Specifically, on May 13th, we arranged a two-hour presentation in the framework of the course Applications for Mobile Computers for the last-year students in Computer Engineering (5-year degree) at the University of Pisa (Engineering Faculty). To present MobileMAN we prepared a set of four presentations (now available on the project web site) in Italian language for making interactions with student easier:

• M. Conti "MobileMAN: Mobile Metropolitan Ad Hoc Network"
• E. Borgia "Routing su reti Ad Hoc"
• F. Delmastro "CROSS-ROAD: CROSS-layer Ring Overlay for Ad Hoc Networks"
• P. Andronico "Design Mobile Communicators"
