Abstract

"This work suggests a method to achieve successful cooperation between industry and academia in telecommunication in the context of developing countries. To illustrate the method, the authors describe a case study on how to integrate an academic research group and an industrial development team to generate useful research results as well as products. The trade-off that must be done between academic and industrial interests is stressed as the single most important point of an effective cooperation between industry and academia. The authors present the first results obtained in an ongoing cooperation. The paper also presents a set of issues that must be addressed to improve the quality of the method and consequently the satisfaction of both parties involved."
