TRADE: a transatlantic research and development environment

In the framework of a joint project TRADE between CRCG and IGD, a distributed transatlantic environment is being designed and created which will serve as the working platform for the telecommunication projects involbing these two institutes. TRADE enables unprecedented comunication and collaboration and allows developing new sophisticated applicatons and scenarios which are the key to the competiveness of our industrial partners and which unite the people and countries of Europe and North America. On the basis of this contribution to the dynamic telecommunication and information environment, innovative products and services can be developed, tested, demonstrated and analyzed by using the principles of economic viability. This leads to new products and new projects which are needed in order to be competitive on the global market.
