A professor visit and two researcher visits take place within UBI-SERV project during Fall 2010.

Prof. Jiao Bingli of PKU is visiting Aalto University Department of Communications and Networking (Comnet) during October 2010. In addition to Aalto-PKU research cooperation on wireless ECG systems, he will lecture the course Selected Topics in Mobile Communication: Case Wireless EGC.

Social networking software for research programmes?

UBI-SERV project belongs to Academy of Finland research program MOTIVE, which had a start-up seminar in Helsinki this week.

This kind of seminars are very good for researcher networking, and also for project networking. I am arranging visits to two of our sibling projects within MOTIVE. I would be happy to link to them here, but not all the projects within MOTIVE have websites of their own. Web 2.0 type communications is embraced only by a minority of the projects. Of course, the project related to Web 2.0 development (Somus) does extensively use these technologies, e.g. blogging and microblogging. Also Web 2.0 type collaboration tools are used.

The type of Web 2.0 application not used in MOTIVE for research collaboration is Facebook-type online social networking. A research project could have a profile in such a service, with other related projects as "friend" projects. This would make it easier to keep up with the developments within related projects. Know any such service?
