 Central aim of organisation FTWs goal is to bring together academia and industry to carry out application-oriented research in one of the central scientific fields of tomorrow´s
Briefly describe your organisation FTW is a nationally leading and internationally acclaimed center for research and development of technologies for future communication systems. Established in 1998, FTW is supported and further developed as a K1-centre by the Austrian Government and the City of Vienna within the competence center programme COMET (Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies).
FTW concentrates on research and development of theories, algorithms and processes for the intelligent management of future communication systems under real-time conditions. FTW closely cooperates with partners from both academia and industry, thereby strengthening and accelerating the process of academic discovery for applications in industry. The list of partners include corporate companies (like A1 Telekom Austria, Alcatel-Lucent Austria, ASFINAG Autobahnen- und Schnellstraßen-Finanzierungs AG, EVN, Kapsch CarrierCom, Kapsch TrafficCom, Lantiq Austria, Nokia Siemens Networks, Telekom Austria AG), small and medium enterprises, and partners from academia (Universities of Technology in Vienna and Graz).
The scientific activities of FTW focus on four particular fields: (i) Signal & Information Processing (ii) Communication Networks (iii) Networked Services and (iv) User-centered Interaction & Communication Economics.
FTW consists of an international and multi-disciplinary team of about 55 full-time researchers. FTW has a solid track record of participating in more than 20 European projects up to now under FP5, FP6 and FP7.
