1Executive Summary

This deliverable is aimed at collecting the results of all the dissemination and exploitation activities of the project partners with regards to the NeP4B results during the project time-span.

Those activities were carried out by the partners according to the dissemination and exploitation plans described in deliverable D5.1 “Dissemination and Exploitation plans”, to which this document refers. As a consequence, this deliverable contains a thorough report about all the dissemination and exploitation occasions (publications, conferences and seminars, invited talks, organized events, etc.) both for the NeP4B consortium as a whole and for each partner individually.

For those reasons, this document contains both a complete list of all dissemination opportunities, which contains also joint publications between consortium partners, and a partner-specific section, in which each involved unit report about the implementation of its dissemination and exploitation plan, eventually explaining the future steps after the project end to continue the employment, reuse and advertisement of NeP4B project results.

Moreover, since the project also contributed with a number of software prototypes resulting from the research activities, in this deliverable we also report about the Intellectual Property Rights protection and the licences used, in case, to release the software components.

The remainder of the document is structured as follows: Chapter 2 lists all the dissemination actions performed during the whole project duration;Chapter 3 presents the partner-specific report on dissemination and exploitation activities; in this section each partner briefly illustrates the outcomes of those activities with regards to their respective plan as described in deliverable D5.1. Finally Chapter 4 includes some details about the IPR and licensing of the software results of the project.

2Dissemination activities performed during the NeP4B project

This Chapter includes the report of all dissemination activities performed by the NeP4B consortium partners during the whole project duration.

Due to the very high number of publications and invited talks performed, we divide the list in three sections for sake of readability. Section 2.1 lists the papers published on international scientific journals or book chapters included in international books; Section 2.2 includes publications and speeches at national (Italian) congresses and conferences; Section 2.3 specifies the publications and speeches at international events.

It is also worth noting that NeP4B organized and sponsored the “1st International Workshop onInteroperability through Semantic Data and Service Integration”, co-located with the 17th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems (SEBD 2009), on June 25th, at Camogli (Genova), Italy. More details are given at

Other partner-specific dissemination events not listed in this chapter can be included in the various sections of Chapter 3.
