GEMS - Group of Embedded networked Systems and Heterogeneous Networks

Welcome to the GEMS website. GEMS was part of the Laboratory of Excellence in Mobility – LEMe, located at the Taguspark campus of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).

LEMe was created by IST, Taguspark and companies like Portugal Telecom, Siemens, Ericsson and Sun to promote the development of qualified human resources at the BsC, MsC and PhD levels, and R&D in Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems. LEMe was a kind of "umbrella" for several research groups working at IST-Taguspark integrating undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as faculty members. These research groups also belong to other research institutions in the IST universe. LEMe no longer exists as an association although the research groups that formed its core are still very active within IST context.

GEMS was launched in 2005 by Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) members working in IST-Taguspark, joining together Networking and Circuits&Systems expertise to address the areas of Embedded Networked Systems and Heterogeneous Networking.
