IT- based innovations för urban areas and cities (Cross-border public services)
European citizens now have powerful legal freedoms - to travel wherever they want, to study, work, or retire wherever they want, and to invest or trade wherever they want within the EU. Technology can unlock the potential of those freedoms helping to create the Digital Single Market. And genuine, cross-border eGovernment can help drive Europe's future growth.To overcome the challenges of the current economic crisis, we need to work together in Europe. This is a unique opportunity to reflect on and transform the way we deliver public services, do business and organise our societies. ICT can link Europe up, boosting our economy and society. And we must use these digital technologies in a smart and coordinated way to reap the full benefits across Europe. Until now, eGovernment, which should be part of the solution, has failed to realise its full potential. Individual Member States have developed national eGovernment systems, in isolation, creating new digital borders where physical ones have long since melted away.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) innovations in healthcare (Medical communication systems)
There are signs of an increasing convergence of wireless communication, internet connectivity and medicine. Devices with advanced computer communication range from body-worn health monitors to implantable medical devices to remote robotic medical devices. All these systems depend on the safe, effective, reliable, and secure communication and computer networking. With these in place, advanced research on medical communication systems will be able to help innovators of next-generation medical technologies that aim to improve public health in the digital age.Multi-agent systems and social networks (IT for crisis management)
Social networks and multi-agent systems share a common structure and the scope. Both are composed of individuals connected with some type of relationship and seek to accomplish individual and/or common goals. This makes it natural to think about synergies between social network and multi-agent systems in the areas of research and application. This type of synergy could have positive benefits, especially for the development of multi-agent system models, techniques and technologies that can be used in crisis management.The project report must be:
- Written in English
- Between 5000 and 7500 words long
- Use the approaches we discuss in the course
- Obs! You cannot use other approaches
- Delivered on time. Please control the schedule of the course
- Deadline: October 15
Report structure:
There are several ways to structure a scientific report, however in order to simplify the grading process during this course each report needs to follow a common structure, that is, following sections needs to be covered in the report.- Introduction
- Aim
- Method. Which kind of evaluation do you perform i.e. summative, formative ,other
- Limitations of your study
- Theoretical framework: Evaluation method applied in your project
- The context of your study
- Result
- Comments and Discussion
- Future work
- References
- Please, do not forget the abstract or to indicate some keywords that reflect the contain of your report.
