Abstract

This project proposes a set of activities to boost collaboration in Computer Science between ICMC-USP's CEPID-CeMEAI, and King's College through a set of researcher's exchanges. The activities aims to examine the combination of the techniques employed in PSNs and DTNs to design a model and define techniques for processing context-aware information obtained from opportunistic vehicle contacts. As results, the exchanges will promote seminars, visits to other Sao Paulo State research institutions, exchange of students, submission of joint projects to the European Union, etc. (AU)
