  problems, e.g., a research WS with industry we
  present our results, and use that as a basic for
  a discussion on cooperation

• working with simple concepts and getting more
  direct results for industry
• 2nd line with more academic research
• what is relevant and unique research?
• clearly identify what kind of project we have
  before presentation to industry
• outsiders become insiders
• cooperation with other research institutions in
  Norway may be of mutual benefit, e.g., in the SHP
• JJG PS links

23
more discussion

• many important relevant issues have been
  brought up more time needed to turn this into a
  concrete WP one common project a very ambitious
  goal tomorrow return to simple concepts reduce
  complexity
• interesting discussion, need more time to digest
  ideas define a certain app situation that is
  sufficiently complex but not too complex should
  be more than 2 people working together! PS would
  like us to meet with his lab.
• moving in right direction p2p projects no
  problem met expectations
• end of day have now 3-4 ideas for SRC project
  applications whatever we do here, we r better
  off with cooperating with another group in
  Norway NFR will support that more easily agent
  based modelling could be of interest for several
  grps here interesting methodology
• learned a lot seen several promising problems

• verdikt NTNU has SRC in the title
• what are our overlapping areas?
• share papers, cooperate on papers
• inform each other about publications!
• feedback
• fun, proceeding towards our goal
• a unified activity still a bit in the distance
• it seems to be possible to find a common area
  where we can work, more to find how to work
  together commonly
• definition of the interfaces, and how to exchange
  information, still much more 2 do

  system!

• accessibility
• top level
• basic level, technologies in the internet, web
  mining,
• is accessibility the right term?
• model transformations
• what is the profit, what is the benefit form the
  transformation? end up with a more analyzable

• need requirements to make the right models
• some of the research could result into products
  with local industry
• e.g., how to use the insights on a mobile phone
• what type of systems and when will we see MIMO
  first
• e.g. between cars, between notebooks, possible
  for mobile phones,
• state of the work still lots of research 2 do.
  currently only one party moving not both

• the dilemma of modeling channels, theoretical vs
  simulation vs reality

  away the whole profile and list of constraints
• can you measure trust? e.g. trust can be between
  -1 and 1, and depends on time and context
• can the channel be included to measure its impact
  on trust
• trust properties of a channel?
• dynamic adjustment of trust? is it programmable
  in advance?
• .

• privacy problems
• interaction involves giving away private data
• trust must be established
• challenges
• provides measures of privacy trust
