18.12.2007

UCC researchers have been awarded €2.8 million for research on networked embedded systems (NEMBES).

NEMBES is an inter-institutional and multi-disciplinary research programme that will investigate a "whole system" approach to the design of networked embedded systems, marrying expertise in hardware, software and networking with the design and management of built environments.

The ambitious four-year  NEMBES programme, launched in Cork recently, is led by Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and involves researchers at UCC, UCD, TCD and Tyndall National Institute.   

The research agenda will be directly influenced by Cork City Council and Cork University Hospital, who are partners in the project and will also provide facilities for experimental trials. Areas of application include automated monitoring of sterilisation procedures and improved efficiency in the use of roads infrastructure.

The leaders of the UCC/Tyndall team are:

  • Architectural Education (Professor Kevin McCartney)
  • Civil & Environmental Engineering (Professor Karsten Menzel)
  • Computer Science (Professor Cormac Sreenan, Professor Gene Freuder, Dr Ken Brown)
  • Tyndall National Institute (Dr Cian Ó Mathúna)

Funded under the recent HEA PRTLI Cycle 4, UCC will receive €2.8 million from the recurrent budget of €7.6 million. The total award is €13.5 million, including new building development at CIT.
