Planned approach and implementation
NOTTS was coordinated by Indra, Spain. The work was organised in work packages lead by partners. Each work package had tasks coordinated by partners eg EABS, ACR, LTH and ALK. The project has had partner meetings several times per years complemented by phone conferences. 2 workshops on traffic measurements have been held by ACR. Interaction between partners has been a priority especially in the area of content demand patterns. This has resulted in new collaborations but also common datasets and a wide dissemination of results both in the industry and in the research world.
