ProViking - Development of Functional Products in a Distributed Virtual EnvironmentFoundation for Strategic Research via the ProViking research programme.

2003-2006 (finalized)

PROJECT SUMMARY

This research programme proposes to investigate the development of Functional Products, the development of integration between hardware, software and service. The research will be carried out in close collaboration with industry and in four work packages, all focused on the development of Functional Products but targeting different aspects of it.
