SCAN is a basic research project in the area of pervasive and ambient services. SCAN’s main objective is the creation of a pervasive space of services on top of Internet, managed by ambient service servers structured in overlay networks. Service servers deliver high level services to mobile users connected to a great diversity of access networks. Different issues related to this objective are investigated, such as architectural and modeling requirements, service design and composition techniques, as well as adaptive mechanisms for self-conscious network communication and users mobility.

SCAN aims to establish an integrative activity based on the proposed common research program. SCAN will go beyond a mere integration of the research activities of the consortium members, by involving a large participation of its members in research activities and organisations within the whole research area by the integration of network technologies.

SCAN also includes a program exchange by stimulating the mobility of researchers, the exchange of staff among the partners as well as the organisation of workshops to stimulate the participation of researchers and students. Student training will also be facilitated by internships in institutes and universities partners of SCAN.
