The BeyWatch Project, a European initiative aiming at developping an energy-aware and user-centric solution, able to provide intelligent energy monitoring/control and power demand balancing at home/building & neighbourhood level, is pleased to announce that initial awarness about the project concepts and results was raised at this week ICT 2008 event, which took place in Lyon, France from Nov. 25 to 27.

This conference-exhibition, organised by the European Commission's DG Information Society and Media, is the Europe's biggest research event devoted to Information and Communication Technologies. The 2008 edition, entitled "Is to the future - Invention, Innovation, Impact", provided over 4000 delegates from all over the world (researchers, innovators, engineers, policy and business decision-makers, etc.) with a key opportunity to access and exchange information, and network.

During the event, Pierre Plaza (Telefonica I+D), coordinator of the BeyWatch project, introduced the project concepts and areas of innovations during a networking session entitled "ICT for Energy Efficiency through Home Automation", aiming at discussing ways that ICT can contribute to a greener, cleaner and more energy efficient Europe, especially on the domestic scene. The Networking Session was organised by the AIM project, aiming at a novel architecture for modelling, virtualising and managing the energy consumption of household appliances.
