The April edition of the NESSI newsletter reports on the Future Internet Assembly (April 15-16, 2010) and the NESSI Projects Summit (April 12-13, 2010), which were both held in Valencia, Spain. FAST were there presenting its latest findings and achievements. In particular, FAST organised an information booth at the FIA Exhibition. On tuesday 13th FAST participated in the “From Service Front ends to Security, check out which projects are relevant!” sessions. These sessions had the objective to clarify the results reached in each working area and introduced future developments as well as future plans. For each of the considered areas, one or more NESSI Strategic/Compliant Projects took the lead, and FAST excelled at Service Front-ends.

The 2nd FAST Plenary meeting, hosted by the UPM, took place on June 25-27 in Madrid. The members of the consortium gathered and discussed the current status of the activities of the project and set the guidelines for future action. There were a number of presentations and discussions as well as reports on the progress on each one of the fronts of FAST in a lively and friendly atmosphere. We took the opportunity to get to know new members of the team and also aligned our ideas to successfully tackle the coming challenges of FAST.

There were parallel activities that complemented our time in Madrid. One or more representatives of each FAST partner attended the Service Front End Collaboration Working Group Meeting (led by FAST) on Tuesday 24 and part of them went to the EzWeb Workshop hosted by the FP6 Project OPUCE on Thursday 26.

The FAST project’s second F2F meeting is going to be held on June 25, 26 and 27. The meeting will be held at UPM premises in Boadilla del Monte, in CoNWeT Lab.You can find further information here
