2. demand-driven research projects (with SMEs/industry)
* This involves already interaction with a large number of SMEs,
but facilities mainly used by iMinds to support the research projects
* This resulted in a number of spin-off companies (Track4C, CandITMedia)

Common ICT-related problems
I have an innovative idea that involves ICT, but is it technologically feasible or not?
9
Can I convert my solution from wired
to wireless? What technology to use? Does a fitting solution for indoor
positioning exist?
Common ICT-related problems
Performance determination and comparison
• When combining or selecting systems/components: A or B?
• What is the performance of my own solution?
10
What is the performance of commercial
videoconferencing solutions? I want to move my solution to the
cloud. But what about the
performance?
Common ICT-related problems
How to test and optimize my solution before going to the market?
• is my solution bug-free?
• does my solution work at sufficiently large scale?
11
Example case: scalability testing of the “Tellishape” bandwidth
shaper for providing Internet connectivity over a satellite link
I’ve tested my solution with 10 users – but what if
100+ or 1000+ users will use my solution at the
same time?
Summary: how we work
1. discuss your needs and brainstorm together about possible solutions
2. customized iLab.t offer
3. execution phase (! requires involvment of iMinds researchers !)
4. extended access to iLab.t facilities and support (if applicable)

questions about the iLab.t offer and
approach?
Step 2 – your customized iLab.t offer
we translate your needs and expectations into a
proposed work plan
14
what to expect from iLab.t and what not?
(offline) by iLab.t – typically 1 day of work
day 1 target:
max. day 8
price quote + funding possibilities
Step 2 – your customized iLab.t offer
15
example offer: technology discovery
Deeper study of problem 3 days
Configuration of experimental set-up 1 day
Training 2 days
Set-up and support of initial scalability experiments 1 day
conclusions 1 days
Total cost € 14000
Breakdown of cost (extract)
Funding possibilities
e.g project can be funded under “KMO portefeuille” subsidies:
• 75% funded – max €10 000
€10 000 € 4000
Problem summary and proposed work plan
based on phase 1 brainstorm
Step 3 – project execution
16
further problem analysis, advice,
training
fully custom set-up
e.g. benchmarking
use of generic tools
e.g. prototyping, user emulation, load generation,…
! requires involvement
of iMinds researchers !
Step 4 – extended access to facilities
17
For some projects, the experimental set-ups remain relevant
even after step 3.
benchmarking updated products or services
further testing by the enterprise
Step 4 – extended access to facilities
18
Extended access to the facilities is offered for free
on a best-effort basis and for a limited time period.
access conditions are included in your customized offer
