ITEA Achievement Award 2010
“2010 was the year of fast exploitation of project results,” said ITEA 2 Chairman Rudolf Haggenmüller. This was reflected in the three projects shortlisted for the 2010 ITEA Achievements Awards. The standard of projects finishing in 2010 was high, making the choice of three winners particularly difficult.
The ITEA Achievement Awards reward high-level technical contributions based on real European collaboration providing significant results while promoting ITEA and its aims.
This year 2 projects were Gold award winners and the third project won the Silver Achievement Award 2010.
The Gold award winners were:
- ESNA for its important role in wireless-sensor network applications. The project offers an impressive balance between advanced technological innovation – including the world’s smallest implementation of IPV6 and optimisation of radio communications between devices to reduce energy use – and a business-oriented approach to defining applications. Exploitation includes the GAIA sensor node for precision agriculture in Spain, a spin-off to target energy monitoring and management in construction and ABB’s use of sensors in process control.
- ParMA which developed advanced technologies to exploit multicore architectures for high-performance computing (HPC). Exploitation includes: the Bullx HPC platform, partly optimised in ParMA, named as the world’s best supercomputer by HPCWire; the UNITE development tool package; and RECOM simulation software already used for an automatic 3D combustion-optimisation simulator.
The silver award went to:
- the CAM4Home project for its content-delivery framework that allows users and contents providers to deliver rich multimedia experiences. Its ‘create-once, deliver-anywhere’ approach enables access to any contents on any device through all networks. Exploitation includes: online gaming with Facebook-like updates, games ratings and new friend notifications; improved management of live webcasts; and live sports-events production with automated media asset management.
ITEA 2 Vice Chairman Philippe Letellier presented this year's Achievement Awards togehter with Mr. Avi Bivas, Senior member of the Software Department - Chief Scientist Office, Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, Government of Israel.
