In 2020, mobile and wireless traffic volume is expected to increase thousand-fold over 2010 figures. Moreover, an increase in the number of wirelessly-connected devices to counts in the tens of billions will have a profound impact on society. Massive machine communication, forming the basis for the Internet of Things, will make our everyday life more efficient, comfortable and safer, through a wide range of applications including traffic safety and medical services. The variety of applications and traffic types originating from or reaching mobile, WLAN, and sensor networks, will be significantly larger than today, and will result in more diverse requirements on services, devices and networks. METIS is set up by leading global players to prepare the migration from today's mobile systems, focused on human communications, towards tomorrow's multi-purpose global communication infrastructure, serving humans and things. The main objective of METIS is to lay the foundation for, and to generate a European consensus on this future global mobile and wireless communications system. METIS will provide valuable and timely contributions to pre-standardisation and regulation processes, and ensure European leadership in mobile and wireless communications. METIS will provide fundamentally new solutions which fit the needs beyond 2020. Research will be conducted on network topologies, radio links, multi-node, and spectrum usage techniques. Horizontal topics will be used to integrate the research results into a system concept that provides the necessary flexibility, versatility and scalability at a low cost. The METIS concept will be evaluated, and a roadmap will be generated. METIS is a strong European consortium, completed by selected non-European partners to ensure global harmonisation. The consortium gathers major telecommunication stakeholders; vendors, operators and academic researchers, together with a new partner from the automotive industry to provide new insights

The objective of this project, SEQSEL, is to build upon, solidify, formalise and condense the recently initiated, but as yet informal, relationships between several world-leading research partners in the EU (Ireland, The UK, and the Netherlands) and Oceania (i.e., Australia and New Zealand) in order to conduct joint research and participate in knowledge exchange and to identify regions of the bovine genome associated with feed intake and efficiency. The study will be undertaken in dairy cattle. To satisfy the required 70% greater food demand of the growing world food population from a shrinking agricultural land base there must be greater efficiencies of production in both plants and animal production. SEQSEL, through the exchange of both knowledge on different pertinent scientific disciplines, but also through sharing of datasets, will 1) define a pertinent phenotype for feed intake and efficiency in dairy cattle, 2) quantify the contribution of genetics to differences among animals in feed intake and efficiency, and 3) identify using the different approaches the regions of the bovine genome associated with feed intake and efficiency that can subsequently be used to increase genetic gain in these (and associated) traits. An IRSES is required because: 1) few if any organisations in the world have sufficient skills to individually undertake the proposed project, and 2) no single organisation has sufficient data on feed intake to make such a proposal successful. This project contains many of the world experts on feed intake and efficiency, genetics and genomics. The structure of the project is such to ensure that collaboration among the project team persists even after SEQSEL officially finishes.

Project SOCCLI - “The role of the Southern Ocean carbon cycle under climate change” aims at realizing a high-level staff exchange and networking activity in the field of climate research, and in particular ocean carbon cycle research, between key research groups of South Africa (CSIR, NTC-UCT) and Europe (Norway: UiB, NERSC; France: CNRS-IPSL). The topic to be jointly investigated is the Southern Ocean’s role in global carbon cycling. Through the exchange programme we will foster already existing cooperation between the partner institutions and establish new links through also involving early stage researchers. The Southern Ocean has been shown to play a key role in controlling the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration both in the pre-industrial and the high CO2 state of the Earth system. The staff exchange will provide a very efficient opportunity to promote joint publications and to exploit the complementary expertise optimally. The project is embedded in and linked with important European collaborative projects and large international research projects. We will also carry out outreach events with policy makers both in Europe and South Africa which will provide the respective communities with essential material for informed decisions on greenhouse gas emission reductions and mitigation of climate change.

Current cloud platforms provide limited support for customers in designing scalable and cost efficient applications. In particular, they do not support analysing how an application will scale with a growing number of users and how this will affect operation costs. CloudScale will provide an engineering approach for building scalable cloud applications and services. CloudScale will support Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers (a) to design their software for scalability and (b) to swiftly identify and gradually solve scalability problems in existing applications. CloudScale will enable the modelling of design alternatives and the analysis of their effect on scalability and cost. Best practices for scalability will further guide the design process. Additionally, CloudScale will provide tools and methods that detect scalability problems by analysing code. Based on the detected problems, CloudScale will offer guidance on the resolution of scalability problems. It answers the ICT Work Programme’s call for achieving massive scalability for software-based services. The planned validation of project results involves two complementary use cases in the SaaS and the PaaS domain. CloudScale will leverage European application expertise into the domain of competitive cloud application offerings, both at the SaaS and PaaS level. The engineering approach for scalable applications and services will enable small and medium enterprises as well as large players to fully benefit from the cloud paradigm by building scalable and cost-efficient applications and services based on state-of-the-art cloud technology. Furthermore, the engineering approach reduces risks as well as costs for companies newly entering the cloud market. A tight, focused consortium with strong industrial partners, solid expertise in the domain and a proven track record from working together in earlier projects will invest a total of 414 PMs over 39 months.

Cloud computing is a popular and over-hyped concept in ICT. The concept of infinitely scalable elastic resources changing without complex systems administration and paying only for resources used is attractive. These benefits are not immediately realisable. Within-organisation benefits are realisable at considerable cost. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) public CLOUDs have different interfaces and conditions of use thus for an organisation to ‘scale out’ requires considerable investment using skilled technical staff. The business need is to allow organisations to ‘scale out’ from their private CLOUD to public CLOUDs without a technical chasm between. This cannot easily be achieved. Aligned with the EU strategic direction of an open market for services, SOA (service-oriented architecture) offers a way to virtualise across heterogeneous public CLOUDs and organisational private CLOUDs. It opens a market for European SMEs to provide services to be utilised (and paid for) by business applications and for all organisations to benefit from a catalogue of services that can be used across the environment. PaaSage will deliver an open and integrated platform, to support both deployment and design of Cloud applications, together with an accompanying methodology that allows model-based development, configuration, optimisation, and deployment of existing and new applications independently of the existing underlying Cloud infrastructures. Specifically it will deliver a Cloud Application Modelling and Execution Language (CAMEL), an IDE (Integrated development environment), execution-level mappers and interfaces and a metadata database, The Consortium bring together ERCIM for management and STFC as scientific coordinator together with experts in different aspects of CLOUDs ranging from software and services (SINTEF), High Performance Computing (HLRS) and systems development environments (INRIA) to a group of SMEs working on CLOUD systems and end-user organisations with requirements in the CLOUD domain.

The main objective of the INTER-TRUST project is to develop a framework to support trustworthy applications in heterogeneous networks and devices based on the enforcement of interoperable and changing security policies. This framework will allow developers, integrators and operators of systems to act during the development and operation phases to obtain systems with components that communicate and share data in a secure trusted manner dictated by negotiated security policies that we also refer to as dynamic security Service Level Agreements. The result will incorporate trustworthiness by integrating legal, social and economic concerns, allowing applications and devices to negotiate and be constrained by them. It will offer scalable and economically viable security and privacy policy management and enforcement solution that will assure secure interoperability to applications and devices in heterogeneous environments (objective 1.4a of the work programme). High level researchers and developers from academia and security software companies will bring the know-how and innovation to solve complex issues guaranteeing that the dynamic solution is applicable and does not introduce any vulnerability. Advanced enabling technologies will be integrated including: formal based monitoring and testing to detect malicious behaviour; negotiation, delegation, dynamic protection and prevention mechanisms based on Aspect Oriented weaving techniques; and, enhanced protection techniques to avoid introducing new vulnerabilities. INTER-TRUST intends to validate the results using two different case studies with complex, highly demanding critical services. The two case studies, E-voting and Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications for Intelligent Transport Systems, involve key European players and will perfectly illustrate the importance and cross-domain applicability of the INTER-TRUST's results and offer unique opportunities for their wide-spread exploitation

MARKOS will realize the prototype of a service and an interactive application providing an integrated view on the Open Source projects available the on web, focusing on functional, structural and licenses aspects of software code. While other services, such as Ohloh.com, mainly focuses on people and activities or on text search into the source code, MARKOS will offer semantic search and browsing to navigate the structure of the software code at a high level of abstraction, in order to facilitate the understanding of the software from a technical point of view. Moreover the MARKOS system will focus on the software integration aspects. In particular it will show and exploit the relationships between software components released by different projects, giving an integrated view of the available Open Source software at a global scale. MARKOS will exploit components relationships also for allowing a more efficient and accurate analysis of licence compatibility and to provide well founded legal argumentations. The integrated view on Open Source software will be made available both as front-end application, for human consumption, and published as Linked Data for tool consumption, allowing the linking with other initiative adopting the Linked Data approach. In order to facilitate the collaboration between different projects, MARKOS will provide tools to manage upstream/downstream ticketing (i.e. allow to send and receive notification of changes to an artefact of a project that might affect an artefact of other related projects). We will evaluate the MARKOS system in workshops involving selected separate groups of end users with different background, either technical or business/legal, in scenarios coming from industrial and Open Source communities’. The MARKOS system itself will be released as open source software. Thanks to the offered functionalities MARKOS is expected to facilitate software development based on the Open Source paradigm in a global context.

This Trilogy 2 project is a 3-year Small or medium-scale focused research project (STREP) targeting Challenge 1 of the 7th Framework Programme: “Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures”. The project scope lies entirely within Objective 1.1, “Future Networks” and in particular in bullet c) Novel Internet architectures, management and operation frameworks. The aim of the project is to develop a new Internet architecture based on the concept of the liquid network. A liquid system should ideally allow resources including bandwidth, storage and processing to be used by any application, whether they are contributed by network operators, data centre operators or end systems. Resources form a shared pool and applications can scale up and down in multiple dimensions (storage, processing, bandwidth and energy usage) as needed, in a continuous effort to enhance the users’ experience as measured in terms of key metrics such as delay and battery life. The main objective of Trilogy 2 is to unlock the value inherent in joining up the pools of liquidity in the Internet. The project will develop more mature liquidity mechanisms addressing the underlying reasons why today liquidity fails to join up across providers, layers and resources. Trilogy 2 will deliver mechanisms for creating liquidity across different types of resources, including cross layer liquidity, cross provider liquidity and cross resource liquidity. In addition, in order to allow the different stakeholders to be willing to create such liquid pools of resources, Trilogy 2 will also provide the means to control the created liquidity though the means of incentives, information exchange and enforcement tools. Finally, Trilogy 2 will use the novel liquidity mechanisms to enable a set of compelling use cases targeting mobile devices and ISP’s network infrastructure.

Fixed and mobile networks have been subjects to significant technological and architectural evolutions in the past years, with e.g. deployments of 4G mobile networks and FTTH fixed networks, as well as significant increase in traffic demand and access bandwidth both in fixed and mobile access networks. All these network evolutions lead to enormous investments in independent network infrastructures (billions of €). In terms of usage, the difference between fixed and mobile access tends to diminish with more and more video streaming and the willingness of users to use fixed (Wi-Fi) interface on their mobile device. All these elements strengthen the motivation of operators to integrate fixed and mobile networks and make them converge in the perspective of 5G networks. Today, Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) is mainly implemented at service level with all IP services and IMS, allowing a converged service control layer. Fixed and mobile networks themselves have been optimized and evolved independently from each other and the current network deployments are still reflecting this independent evolution. In contrast, COMBO will allow the convergence of fixed and mobile networks themselves. To achieve this objective, COMBO will define, develop and technically assess network scenarios organized around the concept of Next Generation Point of Presence (NG-POP) and which embody the most promising directions for FMC at network level. These proposals will lead to networks with a more effective distribution of essential functions and improved utilisation of equipment and infrastructures. So as to show experimentally the high potential of FMC for future networks, COMBO will develop proof of concept demonstrations including both a unified access / aggregation network and a Universal Access Gateway (UAG), the key elements to implement NG-POP concept. These proof of concept demonstrations will include the necessary hardware and software development required to show key FMC network functions and converged network. The overall project targets of COMBO will be to: • Define and develop FMC architectures for future networks, which will be technically assessed with respect to FMC use cases defined by the project; • Demonstrate experimentally key FMC network features to show the feasibility of proposed architectures; • Influence standardization bodies with respect to FMC architectures to push COMBO concepts.
