In order to become a commodity for the European society/economy, mobile solutions must provide the five main characteristics: ubiquity, transparency, fundamentality, universality and value governance. This new concept of mobility is called extreme mobility (XMOB). Facing this reality, the European Union has funded the XMOB (2002) an IST (information society technologies) project. XMOB joins the research groups (UPM, DIST), phone operators (Telefonica Data, Telefonica Moviles, INET), consultancy companies (DMR, DMR-IT), industry (PSA, EXEL, WK) and end users (SAMUR, SANITAS, 118 Geneva) to build a platform aimed to host the mobile applications with the following main features: multi- device/channel, multi-network, multi-user, multi-service (ASP-based model), multi-country (federated model) and open-standards (Java/J2EE compliant). The benefits and outputs of the platform are being validated through the development of two vertical applications (healthcare and logistics) involving 2G, 2.5G, 3G, satellite and multiple different devices types.

This paper describes some aspects concerning the assessment of the secure transfer capability in the second synchronous UCTE zone. It presents the methodologies used to assess static security and reports on the results of studies carried out by EKC, HTSO and NTUA in order to calculate the transfer capabilities in the area and to detect any weak corridors under extreme network conditions. Possible ways of administrating the power transfers in the area are discussed as well.

The modelling behaviour of FGMOS devices in the subthreshold region is investigated. Experimental and simulated ID-VGG, and gm/ID vs. log(ID) data for the standard CMOS 0.6 /spl mu/m process are compared. The BSIM3V3 and the advanced compact model, ACM are adopted to model the behaviour of the FGMOS transistors in the subthreshold region. Two different DC simulation macromodels are used for the DC simulation of the floating gate devices. The performance of the two MOSFET models and of the two DC simulation macromodels in modelling the FGMOS transistors in the subthreshold region is discussed.

Tests and simulations are the only verification techniques used for ad-hoc network routing protocols. Although these techniques give us an excellent overview of the protocol behavior, some undesirable aspects of the protocol could still be undiscovered. Therefore formal verification is needed. This paper presents a new technique to formally verify such protocols by the use of a well-known model-checker: SPIN. As an example, a formal verification of the wireless adaptive routing protocol (W.A.R.P) has been performed.

The use of artificial neural networks in modeling of oscillators with jitter is proposed in this paper. A new method of simulating oscillators with jitter is developed in which an artificial neural network is used to control the signal generator (i.e. oscillator with adjustable parameters: frequency, amplitude, and jitter). A simple and effective way to generate oscillator output with jitter is proposed. This method ensures a simple, robust, fast and accurate modelling of the oscillators with jitter. The method also yields reasonable results for situations not specified in the learning data set because of the generalization property of artificial neural networks and it is suitable for modelling based on measurements. The models of the GaAs voltage controlled differential ring oscillators for circuit simulation software are developed using the proposed method.

A novel microstrip GSM1800 + UMTS dual-band antenna based on a Koch fractal shaped patch element is presented. The antenna has been developed to be used in small handsets of future multi-standard mobile communication systems. The fractal miniaturization technique has been combined with a patch inverted F antenna (PIFA) structure. The effect of a small ground plane has been taken into account. The antenna prototype has been fabricated and tested. Good agreement has been obtained between numerical simulations and experimental results providing validation of the design procedure.

This paper addresses the optimization of voltage control in distribution systems in the presence of distributed generation. The objective is minimizing the voltage deviations at the load nodes with respect to specified reference values. The optimization is solved by means of a new approach based on nested evolutionary programming. Results are shown on a test system including controls at the HV/MV and MV/LV substations, and voltage-controlled local generation sources.

A new dynamic routing protocol is proposed in order to reduce burst blocking probability and to increase link efficiency in optical burst switching networks. The protocol distributes wavelength occupation information using binary vectors. Each node merges the information that it receives with its own information. Thus, the nodes can make intelligent decisions on how to allocate burst transmissions. To take full advantage of wavelength occupation knowledge, it is necessary to make sure that a node has the relevant information updated to schedule a new burst transmission. Therefore, a dynamic window offset assignment mechanism is proposed in order to assure it. Simulations validate the protocol performance.
