Having participated in the first phase of this project (DAIDALOS I), which was successfully completed, we are now involved in the second phase.
Description: DAIDALOS is an EU Framework Programme 6 Integrated Project. Mobility has become a central aspect of the lives of European citizens in business, education, and leisure. The rapid technological and societal changes and the emergence of a bewildering number of new services has created a complex environment for network operators and resulted in a confusing situation for end users. The enhancement of existing technologies and the development of new Beyond 3G systems will inevitably add to the confusion.
Hence, Daidalos will be charged with leading the fundamental rethinking of network architectures necessary to create a new generation of user-centered and manageable communication infrastructure. The Daidalos vision is to seamlessly integrate heterogeneous network technologies that allow network operators and service providers to offer new and profitable services, giving users access to a wide range of personalized voice, data and multimedia services. 46 partners from industry and academia are currently working together to realize this vision.
