This exchange programme brings together well established research teams from three European and three Australian Universities with complementary skills and knowledge, who have a clearly demonstrable commitment to research networking, and management of complex research programmes involving multiple partners. These teams together have extensive research experience ranging across fundamental materials science, sensor R&D, device prototyping and separation science – research areas that are in themselves inherently multidisciplinary. Perhaps even more importantly, their research impacts significantly in applications critical to the future of society, such as energy generation and storage, advanced microfluidics, biomimetic sensing platforms, biomedical implants, distributed environmental sensing (air/water), smart textiles and personal health monitoring. The team leaders are convinced that we are currently on the cusp of a tremendous opportunity for science and engineering together to realise a world of new devices and services in these application domains, based on fundamental knowledge of new materials, and the rapidly emerging demand of market driven by aging populations, unsustainable healthcare costs, concern for the environment, and the need for new technologies to replace fossil fuel energy sources. Furthermore, it is clear that progress must be rapid, and this will require a new type of researcher, experienced across disciplines, techniques and equipment, and with a network of established personal contacts already in place. Our central goal is a build a body of such researchers who will contribute significantly to future research and innovation, and who will appreciate the need for strong alignment between basic and applied research, and the need for close links between academia and industry in order to ensure that ideas are effectively translated into innovative devices and services.

The nSHIELD project is, at the same time, a complement and an improvement of “pSHIELD”, a pilot project funded in ARTEMIS Call 2009 as the first investigation to build the SHIELD Architectural Framework for SPD. The roadmap proposed in this pilot project aims at addressing Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) in the context of Embedded Systems (ESs) as “built in” rather than as “add-on” functionalities, proposing and perceiving with this strategy the first step toward SPD certification for future ES. Within this scope, the role of nSHIELD will be to realize, demonstrate and validate this roadmap. The leading concept is to demonstrate composability of SPD technologies. Starting from current SPD solutions in ESs, the project will develop new technologies and consolidate the ones already explored in pSHIELD in a solid basement that will become the reference milestone for a new generation of “SPD-ready” ESs. SHIELD will approach SPD at 4 different levels: node, network, middleware and overlay. For each level, the state of the art in SPD of single technologies and solutions will be improved and integrated (hardware and communication technologies, cryptography, middleware, smart SPD applications, etc.). The SPD technologies will be enhanced with the composable functionality that are being studied and designed in pSHIELD, in order to fit in the SHIELD architectural framework. To achieve these challenging goals the project aims to create an innovative, modular, composable, expandable and high-dependable architectural framework, concrete tools and common SPD metrics capable of improving the overall SPD level in any specific application domain, with minimum engineering effort. The whole ESs lifecycle will be supported to provide the highest cross-layer and cross-domain levels of SPD and guaranteeing their maintenance and evolution in time In order to verify these important achievements, the project will validate the SHIELD integrated system by means of fourt scenarios

The objective of Internet of Energy (IoE) is to develop hardware, software and middleware for seamless, secure connectivity and interoperability achieved by connecting the Internet with the energy grids. The application of the IoE will be the infrastructure for the electric mobility. The underlying architecture is of distributed Embedded Systems (ESs), combining power electronics, integrated circuits, sensors, processing units, storage technologies, algorithms, and software. The IoE will implement the real time interface between the power network/grid and the Internet. The grid will increasingly rely on smaller, locally distributed electricity generators and storage systems that are based on plug & play principles. Power network devices and loads at the edge (such as electrical vehicles, buildings, electric devices, and home appliances) can be charged or connected on any source of energy being solar, wind, or hydroelectric. Reference designs and ESs architectures for high efficiency innovative smart network systems will be addressed with regard to requirements of compatibility, networking, security, robustness, diagnosis, maintenance, integrated resource management, and self-organization. The future smart grid will converge with the Internet based on standard interfaces, and a physical infrastructure to support electric mobility and the efficient distribution of power and information. IoE will provide a robust, accessible and programmable platform that creates applications and services facilitating an increased use of renewable energy sources as fast as is feasible in a cost effective manner. The project will enable the creation of value added services using both wired and wireless devices with access to the Internet by managing key topics: such as demand response, modelling/simulation, energy efficiency and conservation, usage monitoring, real time energy balance and billing. The project considers vertical integration and horizontal cooperation among energy utilities, OEMs, and hardware/software/silicon providers. TA update approved on 30/04/2013

Mental fatigue is a symptom of many neuromuscular disorders and acute diseases and is also closely associated with the long-lasting, repetitive and/or monotonous activities of normal everyday of healthy individuals. It is commonly defined as a state that involves mental and physical tiredness or exhaustion, with a vast range of symptoms including poor concentration, lack of motivation, tired eyes, yawning, and increased blinking. In neuromuscular rehabilitation, mental fatigue of a patient is closely related to effectiveness, usability and attractiveness of the rehabilitation process itself, reflecting possible non-compliance of the end-user, either due to frustrating, exhausting, boring, annoying or error-prone aspects of rehabilitation. The phenomenon of mental fatigue has been addressed by many studies, investigating the association between brain electrical activity using electroencephalography (EEG) and the onset of fatigue symptoms. Although highly attractive and informative, BNCI-based systems are very new and considered unreliable for use in clinical practice. On the other hand, more evident visual signs of mental fatigue, such as tired eyes, yawning, and increased blinking can be robustly detected by video-based monitoring of a person’s face but offer less direct measures of a mental fatigue. qFATIGUE proposes development and validation of a multimodal bio-feedback interface for simultaneous extraction of mental fatigue from video-based and EEG-based monitoring of a person. The main motivation builds on the need for improved understanding and assessment of motivation in rehabilitation patients during their daily exercise and their acceptance or rejection of different reward mechanisms. The proposed information extraction interface will be benchmarked in various experimental conditions, ranging from rich graphical support, such as in virtual environments, to simple visual and audio stimulations.

The twentieth century model of security, based on the rule of law and policing within nation-states and conventional military forces externally is no longer easily applicable to twenty first century global security risks. The security gap refers to the fact that millions of people live in situations of intolerable insecurity as a consequence of armed conflict, organised crime, terrorism, financial crisis, poverty and inequality, environmental degradation, vulnerability to natural disasters to name but some of these risks and yet current public security provision is not designed to address these sources of insecurity and, indeed, as recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown, sometimes makes them worse. Security in transition’ is about investigating and identifying the nature of the security gap and tracking the ways in which public and private agents are adapting. It has five components: narratives; indicators; rules; tools; and geographies

A new way to compare societies across space and time will be developed. The method is based on the `Imitation Game’, which is related to the `Turing Test’. Non-members’ try convince a judge they are members of minority or excluded groups and vice-versa. Success over a series of repetitions indicates good cultural understanding of the `target’ group. The method could have shown, for example, the extent to which the black slave population of the US had to understand white society to survive, while white society had no need to understand the black population. The proportion of successful identifications over a series of tests is an inverse measure of the degree of understanding. The content of the questions and answers also indicate cultural features of the group and the society. Initial tests in local conditions have held promise but the method must be refined and proved by producing a database of interesting cross-national and cross-regional comparisons. Is the method resilient enough to provide comparative measures across culturally diverse regions and, potentially, to measure changes over time? By making an initial comparison of European and other regions, which ought to be valuable in itself, it will be shown whether the method is fit to be used, like the Eurobarometer, for a longitudinal audit of change in societies. The dimensions of comparison are gender relations, ethnic minorities, religion and sexuality. Regions to be compared are Scandinavia, Western Europe, Central Europe and Southern Europe with North and South America included during the final year barring contingencies. An unusual feature of the proposal is the casual employment of graduate students to run the research locally, giving rise to a trained cohort of potential users in a number of countries.

This project addresses a serious gap at the heart of the social and cognitive sciences. The proposal is to fast-start an interdisciplinary science of human communicative interaction focused on sequences of contingent actions. The research will be guided by a novel hypothesis, the ‘interaction engine’, which holds that human interactive abilities are distinct from and phylogenetically older than our language capacity. Inverting the usual assumptions, the hypothesis suggests that the human interaction system is fundamentally universal, while the language system lacks substantial universals and is diversified by cultural evolution. The interaction system and language system therefore do not mesh neatly, and this can be detected in the domain of contingent action sequences – the crucial characteristic of human interaction. Two specific areas, (a) the timing of turn-taking and (b) the ascription of speech acts or intentions, will be examined from three distinct disciplinary perspectives: (i) cross-cultural corpus and experimental studies in a dozen languages, (ii) developmental studies (corpus and experiment based) from early infancy up to middle childhood, (iii) cognitive studies employing both behavioural measures (reaction time, eye tracking), and neurocognitive methods (EEG, fMRI). The ‘interaction engine’ hypothesis makes detailed predictions about cross-cultural universals, developmental trajectories, and processing complexities in both turn-taking and action ascription. The project aims to build an integrated, interdisciplinary science of communicative interaction. New developments (multi-media corpora, dual eye-tracking, EEG, fMRI, baby-lab techniques) now make this feasible. The PI and host institution are uniquely equipped to undertake this project.

EUROPTIMA Changing the paradigm in data and fare collection systems EUROPTIMA addresses the need for implementing data and fare collection systems adapted to the requirements of mass transit operators in terms of cost of implementation, cost of operation, modularity of the system and flexibility in terms of fare evolutions, interoperability and customer relationship. In particular, EUROPTIMA targets the small operations, which normally do not have the investment resources for the current rather monolithic teleticketing systems and require a flexible environment. EUROPTIMA stabilises and pilots a modular, of the shelf, customisable and scalable components and interfaces for building fare collection systems based on CALYPSO specifications and other industry open standards to be used by small scale transport and mobility related operations. This includes the definition of the open hardware based on existing platforms (e.g. NFC telephones, bank POS, …) and the specification of a modular software framework also able to be compatible and integrated with existing back-office environments. The innovative end-to-end architecture allows the usage and management of various types of terminal, in particular thin-client terminals, multia-pplications payment & e-ticketing with high security levels. EUROPTIMA is operated by a consortium of highly professional and complementary organisations, led by CNA (Calypso networks association, BE). It regroups 2 major public transport operators groups, OTLIS (PT) and VEOLIA (FR), 1 industrial company, CARD4B/YOUMOVE (PT) and one specialised consultancy, MTA (BE).

The SCAPE project will enhance the state of the art of digital preservation in three ways: by developing infrastructure and tools for scalable preservation actions; by providing a framework for automated, quality-assured preservation workflows and by integrating these components with a policy-based preservation planning and watch system. These concrete project results will be validated within three large-scale Testbeds from diverse application areas: Digital Repositories from the library community, Web Content from the web archiving community, and Research Data Sets from the scientific community. Each Testbed has been selected because it highlights unique challenges. SCAPE will develop scalable services for planning and execution of institutional preservation strategies on an open source platform that orchestrates semi-automated workflows for large-scale, heterogeneous collections of complex digital objects. These services will be able to: * Identify requirements for preserving all or parts of a repository through characterisation and trend analysis; * Define responses to those needs using formal descriptions of preservation policies and preservation plans; * Allow a high degree of automation, virtualization of tools, and scalable processing; * Monitor the quality of preservation processes. The SCAPE consortium brings together experts from memory institutions, data centres, research labs, universities, and industrial firms in order to research and develop scalable preservation systems that can be practically deployed within the project lifetime. Through a project extension in the final year, SCAPE will broaden its scope with respect to the utilized deployment models and infrastructures available to the project. New activities include the development of new scientific use-cases, advanced preservation services, and installations of the SCAPE environment in high performance computing (HPC) data centers. These use cases will further demonstrate the generic nature of the SCAPE approach and its applicability in the new Data Center Testbed. SCAPE is dedicated toward producing open source software solutions available to the entire digital preservation community. The project results will be curated and further exploited by the newly founded Open Planets Foundation. Project results will also be exploited by an SME and research institutions within the consortium catering to the preservation community and by two industrial IT partners.
