Cooperation with Fraunhofer institutes • MCI • Inviting Prof. Boche and Dr. Stanczak visiting JSI (April 2005) • Other MCI staff’s visit to JSI (Sept. 2005) • Joint research on wireless sensor networks • FOKUS • Prof. Popescu-Zeletin’s visit to JSI (Oct. 2004, Sept. 2005) • MoU between JSI and FOKUS • Joint research on model-driven software development • ISST • Prof. Weber’s visit to JSI (June 2005) • Dr. Holtcamp’s visit to JSI (June & July of 2005) • Joint research on service support platform • JSI • Seven researchers’ visit to MCI, FOKUS and ISST (Oct. 24-Nov. 2, 2005)
WSN with MCI • MCI • Working on the physical, media, and network layers • Congestion control on the transportation layer • High speed data transmission with low energy consumption • Algorithms, protocols, hardware design • JSI • WSN deployment and management • QoS of WSN • Data access and integration • WSN simulator • WSN applications
Work plan with MCI • Draft of proposal structure (Nov. 10, 2005) • Delivery of the first version of proposal (early Dec. 2005) • Completion of the proposal (end of 2005) • Submission of the proposal (Jan. 2006)
MDSD with FOKUS • Joint research on model-driven software development • Localization of FOKUS’s current products and promoting its applications in China • Further cooperation on e-Government and autonomic communication • JSI follows AN progress by participating Autonomic Communication Forum • Encouraging industrial partners’ involvement • Huawei • Telecommunication industry
Work plan with FOKUS • Tutorial given by Testing Technology (a spin-off of FOKUS) in Beijing in Jan. 11-13, 2006 • More than 30 participants • Industry involvement • Demo of JSI research results in Aril of 2006 • Deciding next step of research by reviewing the current status • Planning workshop of the Autonomic Communication Forum in 2006 in Beijing • Participation of both academic and industrial communities
SSP with ISST • Working on service support platform technology oriented to e-Government and Emergency Response Systems • Applying ISST’s experiences in information logistics and continuous software engineering in these applications
Work plan with ISST • Workshop on key technologies supporting e-Government and Emergency Response systems on Dec. 3, 2005 • Beijing and Berlin city government agencies • Related R&D teams • A MoU will be signed next month between JSI and ISST on this topic • Submission of project proposal to both Chinese and German governments in early of 2006
Importance of cooperation • Great demand from industry and application organizations • Huawei’s interests in Ambient Network technology (AN) • E-Government for Beijing City • Modeling and workflow management • Data sharing and exchange platform • General purpose raw data collection • New applications: Emergency response • Modeling • Simulation • monitoring • Data sensing, collection, exchange • Data fusion and data mining • Decision support • Communication, computation, and data intensive
Importance of cooperation • Benefit form excellence and experiences of Fraunhofer institutes • JSI acts as a bridge to connect centers of excellence in both countries • Organizing workshops and seminars
Importance of cooperation • Strategic for China-German relationship • Long term cooperation with FhG institutes are important to China • Technically • Structural reformation • Government support is critical • MOST and BMBF support • Beijing-Berlin sister cities relation • Beijing city government support • Regular exchange and deep understanding between Chinese and German researchers is crucial for successful collaboration
Difficulties • Complicated funding scheme • In the form of projects, tedious procedure required • Uncertainty in proposal results (e.g., FOKUS) • Insufficient funding • Relatively small compared with the scale of international cooperation • Strict regulation in using the 863 project funding • Very small percentage on human resources (5%) • Difficult to cover the cost for daily running the institute (e.g., renting the room space)
Difficulties • Better communication channel required • Lower priority among other things • Slow response • Benefit or funding are needed to stimulate mutual interests • Regular personal exchange scheme needed • Project-based scheme preventing regular exchange • Having joint project is the precondition • Lack of regular financial support scheme • Hope to have a general bilateral financial support arrangement
