Szczecin- planning the common project

According to one of tasks of our pilot project I've spoken to my cluster companies and some researchers from University. 

As for today I have:

- companies selling and implemeting systems for smart houses (as for now their products are mainly focus on safety and devices management, they have some soultions for heating or electricity management, without monitoring ) - they are interested in devlopment new products, but some more and precise information about the projects is needed (What's important for companies is IPR, they are asking about results of the project).

- I think that the interesting topic is developing the system for  monitoring energy use in public sector entities (that is something we don't have in Poland yet)

- as we are thinking about building the project team:

a) companies (our cluster companies are mainly focused on software and multimedia, we will rather not engage in device (sensors, etc.) or hardware production).

b) researchers (they're mainly interested in:  databases building  and data analysis, also prediction making on the basis of collected data; access control policies in distributed systems, network,  high-level synthesis of hardware-software design methods of computer networks and wireless carrier, optimizing the processing algorithms); also there is

- about the financing: maybe the Interreg IVC or http://www.eu.baltic.net/ would be nice?
