C1 - Pervasive & Trusted network &

service infrastructures

The challenge is to comprehensively and consistently address

the multiple facets of a Future Internet, with energy efficiency

also appearing as an important societal concern.

New Architectures

Trustworthiness

RFID & the Internet of things


4/93

Internet of things

Original funding towards the development of RFID & e-business (FP5/6)

Paradigm reshift towards the Internet of Things:

First definition (90s): discovering information about a tagged object bybrowsing an Internet address or database entry that corresponds to a

particular RFID.

Today, the Internet of Things refers to the general idea of things,

including everyday objects, which are readable, recognisable, locatable,addressable and/or controllable via the Internet.

Communications in the Internet of Things can be 'thing-to-person'

communications or 'thing-to-thing' communications.


5/93

C2 - Cognitive systems &

robotics

In the real world, ICT systems should be able to respond

intelligently to gaps in their knowledge and to

situations that have not been specified in their design.

We therefore want robots(?) to understand their

environments and their users while operating either fully

autonomously or in cooperation with people in complex,

dynamic spatial environments.

We want artificial systems to allow for rich interactions

using all senses and for communication in natural

language and using gestures. They should be able to

adapt autonomously to environmental constraints and to user

needs, intentions and emotions.


6/93

C3 - alternative paths to

components & systems The deep miniaturisation, energy efficiency, performance

increase and manufacturability of nano-electronic devices

of application-specific components and smart systems throughthe convergence of microelectronics, nano-materials,

biochemistry, measurement technology and ICT.

The design, modelling and operation of systems composed of a

large number ofindependent, heterogeneous andinteracting embedded systems as well as their

monitoring and control; and the management of

interconnected large, yet autonomous systems ("Systems of

Systems").


7/93

C3 - alternative paths to

components & systems The parallelisation and programmability methods to allow the

adaptation of existing software to multicore computingarchitectures and systems, from embedded devices to general-purpose and to high performance computing.

The further development of core and disruptive photonictechnologies (lasers, waveguides, photodetectors, amplifiers,LEDs, optical fibres, etc), fundamental in strategic applicationssuch as medicine, biology, communications, lighting, sensing andmeasurement, and manufacturing.

The development of advanced, low temperature processing, andpotentially printable devices and systems on large areaand/or flexible substrates, such as light emitting and sensingdevices, photovoltaics, displays, printed electronics for smarttags, or wearable smart textiles.


8/93

C4 - digital libraries & content

New digital library services allowing content and knowledge to be produced,stored, managed, personalised, transmitted, preserved and used reliably,efficiently and at low cost;

Digital preservation services addressing the needs of memory institutions andmore generally of businesses, public bodies, government services who have

responsibilities for keeping digital records accessible.

New management and production tools making digital resources easier andmore cost- effective to create and reuse;

More creative approaches to content and knowledge, enablingcreators to design more participative and communicative media and increase

the productivity of publishers;

Enabling the mass-individualization of learning experiences, throughsystems allowing faster acquisition of competences and skills, increasedknowledge worker productivity, and more efficient organisational learningprocesses.


9/93

c5 - ict for health, ageing well,

inclusion and governance Personal Health Systems research aims for disease management

and also targets rehabilitation and treatment at the point of need

with a focus on specific diseases.

Virtual Physiological Human research focused on more elaborate and

reusable multi-scale models and a VPH information infrastructure oflarger repositories. Preparatory actions will aim at a grand challenge

on a "Digital Patient", being the integration of patient-specific models

for better prediction and treatment of diseases.

Patient Guidance Services to enable patients' activeparticipation in care processes. A special emphasis will be given to

semantic interoperability to enable integration of patient information

from multiple sources and locations and to ubiquitous and secure

access to these personal health records.

CHRONIOUS proposes an adaptive and ubiquitous chronic disease management

system that offers continuous monitoring to patients by using several sensors either in

a form of a wearable solution or scattered in the patients living environment and a

series of intelligent services to healthcare providers and organisations that aid them

in the monitoring of their patients.

Constant monitoring of activity using audio observation methods, activity sensors and

vital signs sensors.

Detects any trait of abnormal health status and possible alerting incidents and

generates alerts in case of invalid medical data or abnormal current activity and

behaviour.

An overarching goal of the proposed system is to underline and emphasize the

partnership between technology-centered and human-centered sciences as

technologies for sensing, computing and communications become increasingly

ubiquitous.

IST/FET/Disappearing Computer (2001-03)Project baseline

The project specifies a Gadgetware Architectural Style (GAS),which will be used both by artifact designers and users toconstruct gadgetworlds.

An artifact is an everyday object, augmented with softwareand hardware components that make it GAS-aware and ableto communicate with other artifacts.

A gadgetworld is a configuration of artifacts supported by theplug-synapse model: plugs are the services and properties ofartifacts, while synapses are functional associations ofcompatible plugs.

Thus, an artifact is used as a component of a ubiquitouscomputing application.

important aspect is that the agents have a clear mission toaccomplish tasks that lead to coherent team activity. Successfulcollective performance in missions of this type critically dependsupon: (a) accurate environmental perception, (b) a real timedecision making / action loop, (c) emergent goal directed socialbehaviour.

Project objectives Develop a novel agent architectural design, which will serve as a

blueprint for implementation of effective and optimal agents.

Create an accompanying programmable hardware/softwaredevelopment environment, which will facilitate the evolution ofcomplex agent architectures and the development of successive CAA

generations within each CAA brand. It will include modules forspecification, composition, simulation and evaluation of eachgeneration

Develop hardware technology platforms and processesencompassing high density interconnect (HDI) solutions, selfassembly techniques, and a multidimensional integration approach

of field programmable gate 3D arrays, micro-nano scale sensors andactuators, to create tangible hardware agents

Implement aproof-of-concept system using micro-channel networksto replicate aspects of the priority application in order to investigatein-situ behaviour of the tangible agents. 83

Enabling mixed societies of communicating


85/93


plants and artifacts

IST/FET/Open (2003-06)

Project baseline

To develop complex interactive systems by embedding sensors

in and around particular plants, and by developing middleware

that will enable the integration of distributed systemscomposed of sensors and artifacts into ecosystems.

The resulting mixed society is capable of reacting (via

actuators) to external stimuli (perceived via sensors), aiming

to maintain a coherent global state (with the use of

appropriate middleware) and to interact with its environment(using wireless networks, bio-signals and a concise interaction

style, which includes form, language and ontology).85



86/93



Project objectives To study plant eco-systems in order to understand sensing and

communication mechanisms, which will be used as models for thespecification of the plant-artefact interfacing mechanisms.

To design and develop sensors and sensor networks, which will beimplanted around and in plants and will transform biological signals

into digital signals. To design and develop biosensors and actuators, which will provide

artefacts with the ability to induce complex responses from plant-life and perceive their environment in a plant-like way.

To design and implement specific middleware (ePlantOS) in order tointegrate complex distributed systems of sensors and artefacts into a

balanced eco-system, for the purposes of non-predictive study ofselected plant-life and interaction with its environment (peopleincluded)

Tocreate two demonstrators, where intermediate results will beused for evaluation and optimisation and the final results will beanalysed and displayed.

theory and ReAlization

IST/FET/Open (2006-09)

Project baseline

To define a framework for supporting the conception and the

design of Pervasive Awareness systems, specifically those that

are intended to support social relationships. The envisaged framework consists of theories and

technological solutions, addressing the two aims of the

project:

To develop a theory to guide the design and the evaluation of

pervasive awareness systems for supporting social communication.

To develop supporting technology consisting of a service oriented

architecture, tools and applications that can support communities to

create, adapt and appropriate Pervasive Awareness systems. 88



89/93



Project objectives To develop an integrated theory of connectedness and

awareness.

To develop a descriptive model and a design

theory/framework for awareness mechanisms. To design an integrated service oriented architecture and

implement a platform for supporting end-userdevelopment of awareness systems.

To design and develop a set of tools that will support the

composition of awareness applications by end-users.

To develop proof-of-concept awareness applications byend-user communities using the experimental ASTRAtechnology.

ICT/FET/Pervasive Adaptation (2007-11)Project baseline

To contribute to the realization of trusted ambient ecologies.Interactive appliances, collaborative devices, and context awareartifacts, as well as models, services, software components are parts

of ambient ecologies, which form the infrastructure that supportsuser activities.

In ATRACO project, each activity is modelled as an activity sphereusing finite resources to achieve the goals of its owner and having itsinternal knowledge model, in the form of an ontology, and clearlymarked borders, which realize the privacy requirements.

The user tasks that compose an activity are supported by an ad-hocorchestration of ubiquitous computing services offered by theecology. The bubble adapts to different contexts by re-negotiating itsborders, adopting suitable interaction modes and employingresource management models.

91


92/93

Project objectives To lay the foundations for the development of a new range of

components, architectures and guidelines that underpins thedevelopment of ambient ecologies. More specifically, theproject will: Develop a conceptual framework for ambient ecologies and activity

spheres, realized as a core ontology Research on heterogeneity by developing and testing theories of

ontology matching and alignment to achieve task based semanticintegration of heterogeneous devices and services

Design a service-oriented ambient ecology architecture and developor adapt the necessary components to realize its services

Research on various forms of adaptation and develop a set ofintelligent agents to support adaptive task realization, interaction,activity sphere management and networking

Develop a testbed application, which will be deployed in the iDorm-2and the campus at the University of Essex
