<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following the Recon report last week, I would like to thank
the recon team for coming to Porto and helping the
organization of the next year edition!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will try to make a brief introduction to the local team.
My name if Filipe Teixeira, and I was one of the WBMv6
participants, in Aalborg. I am currently working at INESC TEC
(Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology
and Science), which is a non-profit association with a strong
telecommunications research team (100+ researchers), and about
30 specifically on wireless networks. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I saw on the mailing list the Call for WBMv9, I
thought that Porto could be a great option for one of the next
WBM, for a number reasons. First, I enjoyed participating in
the WBM, second I have been working with wireless mesh
networks since my MSc thesis, back in 2010, and third i
thought I could contribute to the community by helping
organizing the event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To put this idea into practice I have talked with Filipe
Ribeiro and Mário Lopes, two colleagues also at INESC TEC,
which supported the idea and helped setting up the local team
necessary to propose this venue to the WBM community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the past years, the INESC Wireless Networks group [1]
has participated in a number of projects featuring different
areas of wireless networks, ranging from large scale indoor
wi-fi deployments (multimedia content and smart meters) to
underwater, underground, maritime and airborn communications.
These solutions are being developed in large concert halls,
energy meters, underwater autonomous vehicles, fishing vessels
and unmanned aerial vehicles/drones. At the moment I am more
involved in underwater networks and maritime communications.
One of the most interesting projects done in this area was the
Mare-Fi, where we give free Internet access to fishing vessels
up to 13 km from shore. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally I am very motivated to have the WBM in Porto. I
am counting on the local team and other Portuguese guys who
are willing to give a hand, but also and more especially from
previous years organizers and participants to give their
feedback and helping on the several tasks to make WBM a
success.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the moment, the most important task is to vote for the
date for the WBM [2]. This will have implications on the venue
and the hotels. Please vote ASAP, even if you are not sure you
can attend.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any questions, feel free to ask us! We are
looking forward to seing you at the WBM in Porto!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Filipe Teixeira</div>
