Expressions of Interest for creation of R&D projects
In order to proceed with publication of Expression of Interests for creation of research and development collaborative projects from NEM members, this website is provided as a starting portal for exchange of the project ideas. All NEM members are encouraged to submit their ideas to the NEM Office via e-mail to: info@nem-initiative.org. The submissions have to contain the following data:
- Project or Project area title
- Title acronym
- Project abstract (maximum 500 characters)
- Description (PDF file not longer than two pages), which includes: Company name (and website), Name of contact person, Postal address, Phone number, and e-mail address.
The Expression of Interest website will be available at least until April 2008 to assist in the preparation of 7th Framework (Call 3 and beyond) and will be updated weekly. If necessary, NEM Office will provide support services (e-mail exploder lists, FTP space, web interfaces, etc.) to consortiums build up in the NEM R&D area.

User media Halos for Pervasive And participative Content - UHPAC - by INESC Porto
Abstract: This project is about ad-hoc media networking in public spaces. Articulated around the idea of personal "media halos" (i.e. individual profiles surrounding mobile users and representing their tastes and consumption behaviors with regards to media content), the project will propose novel solutions for improving mobile networked content consumption, distribution, sharing, and enrichment by end-users; with a special focus on music content and non-expert users.
Emogen - by ALTEC Information and Communication Systems S.A.
Abstract: An individual's emotions can become one of the most valuable tools in his / her personal and professional by actively listening and absorbing. Experiences build on emotions and are affected by the particular context they emerge.
We propose to investigate an emotional authoring environment which shall
- Process experiences and emotions as essential parts of an interaction
- Produce outputs and results to be used by various social and organisational environments.
Focus areas of the proposed research in EMOGEN includes:
- Manifestation of emotions through computers (interaction models and application concepts)
- Presentation of experiences in a given digital(ised) context
- Organisation of individual and group activities to support emotion-based interactions
