Smart Environments (SEs), like energy efficient buildings, vehicular or urban environments, are populated by many devices connected by wireless networks.

The radio channel is central to SEs, as it impacts the design of transmission techniques and communication protocols. Radio communications in SEs need to be green and based on cooperative paradigms in order to mitigate the effect of interference and improve efficiency – hence the definition of Green Smart Environments (GSEs).

Action B20 was conceived as a means of promoting life science research in the field of mammary biology. Its principal focus has been on biomedical research aimed at improving human health and well-being. In the field of mammary biology this translates into a focus on breast cancer, which remains a major disease of Western societies, and human lactation, which is increasingly recognized as conferring substantial and long-term health benefits which extends well beyond childhood, both for mother and offspring.
