WebLab-Deusto offers different experiments in physics and technologies including logic games and one related to embed systems development. The group participates in many national and international projects, among others OLAREX, CLIPFLAX, E-Pragmatic, RexNet, CITA2, SocialTechBook, PiP-PDI, and sLabs. The Mobile Communications Research Group hosts SmartLab, a mobile and pervasive computing laboratory, where prototypes of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence scenarios are designed, deployed and tested in order to experiment with future environments where intelligence is provided by surrounding objects, especially mobile phones. The group has a strong background in the application of Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence techniques to middleware for embed and mobile system in order to foster context-aware reactivity. MORElab participates in multiple projects, such as MUGGES, uService, CBDP, SABESS, PIRAmIDE, and ACROSS. In Go-Lab, the Faculty is involved in WP4 (Go-Lab Infrastructure), WP5 (Go-Lab Portal), WP7 (Large-scale pilots), WP8 (Evaluation and Validation), and WP9 (Dissemination and Exploitation). UDEUSTO will act as National Coordinator of the project’s implementation in Spain. | Address: Universidad de Deusto, Avda. de las Universidades 24, 48007 Bilbao, Spain |
