Main Objective: To study fiber solitons in the following aspects: (i) the in-line control in WDM soliton communication systems; (ii) amplification of solitonlike pulses in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers; (iii) soliton switching in nonlinear fiber couplers; (iv) chiral solitons, i.e., solitons in chiral optical fibers.

Neste projecto propõe-se uma pesquisa comparada sobre os processos de recrutamento e integração militar feminina em Portugal no confronto com outros países da Europa do Sul, designadamente França, Espanha e Itália.

Open Components for Controled Access to Multimedia Material - IST-1999-11443 The OCCAMM project addresses the problem of open architectures and interfaces for on-line access to digital content with IPR protection and management, seen as an evolutionary process from today's piecemeal initiatives to full-fledged multimedia. The activity concentrates on developing enabling tools for the controlled delivery and consumption of multimedia information over networks, as well as setting up prototype applications and services based on the selected technologies to prove their effectiveness. To that end, a test platform will be constructed which will incorporate state-of-the-art content protection tools into a secure infrastructure compliant to the specification of international standard bodies, including OPIMA, SDMI and MPEG. Trials will be conducted with this facility, involving real end-users both in the home and in schools, to validate innovative business models for the benefit of market operators.Objectives:The main objectives of the OCCAMM project are:1) to specify and develop a series of enabling tools and components, compatible with emerging open standards (OPIMA, SDMI, MPEG), which will handle the controlled access, delivery, consumption and rights management of multimedia information;2) to establish a number of commercially-driven applications utilising the aforementioned tools, which will deliver the needs of all participants in the above business;3) to define and monitor performance levels in trial environments for such applications, and to point out additional actions needed for subsequent full and successful commercial exploitation.The developed trial facility aims also at representing a European test-bed where new pieces of technology specified by the main standardisation fora in the field of content protection can be assessed and a co-ordinated European input to standard bodies can be provided.Work description:The main part of the work will be the implementatio...
