Cooperation Model
ISEL
1 - Each project or cooperation activity start by
An idea or concept or,
Current specific problem.
2 - The R&D project - propose and develop a
solution involving:
Multi-disciplinary Professors & Students;
Internal Multi-disciplinary R&D groups;
Other Partners (Universities or Companies).
3 - A project demo is implemented and tested in a
real environment.
4 – Knowledge is transfer to associated companies
and new a product start to be developed.

ISEL
From Sensor to Integrated Applications
Accuracy, based on sensor “composition”
Integrating alternative strategies/technologies
Sensor as services cooperating to multisensor service abstraction (sensor
compositions)
Intelligent high level sensor services with
added accuracy and functions
Utilization of a tuple-space (based on
Linda coordination language)
For the cooperation among RSE services
ISEL
Cooperation Side Effects
Open new R&D and knowledge areas.
Funding industrial and challenging projects to students.
Employability.
Standardisation participation with practical contributions.
New cooperation activities/contracts with other
institutions generated by the Brisa-ISEL model
(e.g.: Galp, ANSR, SIEV, REFER,…).
Increase the respect of scientific and business
communities.
Entrepreneurship (Partner: OPEN – Marinha Grande).

Conclusions
Cooperation between ISEL and Brisa:
Different Individual advantages (systems knowledge
and R&D funding);
Considerable technology leadership and operational
savings.
Adoption of open source solutions for suppliers
competitiveness.
New innovative products for national market and with a
potential to export.
Adoption of a new competitive architecture, were multivendor sensors can be plug and play.
Promote new technological companies.
