I'm going to present myself and my research group. I attach a resume of
us, and a publication describing our work on mobile agents.
I would be very interested in participating to your Strep proposals. I'm
in contact with a number of SMEs, located in Rome and Naples, (and
non-SME, such as the italian branches of IBM and Sema') potentially
interested in participating.
Should it be of interest, we're also collaborating with Univ. of Cyprus
(Marios Dikaiakos) and Cardiff (Omer Rana) on mobile agents. We could
involve the Italian Ministry of Innovation, our local regional
government (Regione Campania, objective 1 region) with whose I
collaborate by being member of the Committee on Information Society
implementation.
Looking forward to receiving your feedback.
Best regards,
Beniamino Di Martino
