The EMPhAtiC objective is to develop, evaluate and demonstrate the capability of enhanced multicarrier techniques to make better use of the existing radio frequency bands in providing broadband data services in coexistence with narrowband legacy services. The project will address the Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) application, especially the evolution of the Public Protection & Disaster Relief (PPDR) service currently using TETRA systems for voice and low-speed data services. Both cell-based and ad-hoc networking solutions are needed for PPDR and will be developed. Our main emphasis is on filter bank based multicarrier (FB-MC) and single-carrier (FB-SC) waveforms for utilizing effectively the available fragmented spectrum in such heterogeneous environments. The core idea is to develop a multi-mode radio platform, based on variable filter-bank processing, which is able to perform modulation/detection functions simultaneously for different signal formats with adjustable center frequencies, bandwidths and subchannel spacings. SC-FDMA waveforms are included in the study in order to relax the transmitter power amplifier requirements of mobile terminals. Also enhanced OFDM solutions are considered as alternatives aiming at minimal modifications to the 3GPP LTE standard, which serves as the reference system in the studies. In addition to the basic physical layer functionalities, the project develops also MIMO and MAC-layer techniques, as well as relay networking solutions which are compatible and maximize the benefits of the waveform level solutions. The EMPhAtiC consortium has a strong expertise in the design of practical TETRA and ETSI BRAN systems. We believe that the design of FB-MC schemes facilitating flexible and efficient multi-access spectrum usage, along with a proof of concept implementation, form the necessary basis for proposing better next generation broadband data solutions for the PMR evolution and other applications, including the 3GPP LTE evolution.

Urban transport is essential for citizens to perform their daily activities, but it also constitutes a major source of pollution. The goal of EUNOIA is to take advantage of smart city technologies and complex systems science to develop new models and tools empowering city governments and their citizens to design sustainable mobility policies. EUNOIA will pursue advances in three complementary directions: 1. Use of data. The massive penetration of ICT is modifying social relationships and travel behaviour, and at the same time is providing us with a huge amount of heterogeneous data: intelligent transport systems, Internet social networks, mobile phone call logs, e-transactions. EUNOIA will investigate how to exploit these data to characterise mobility and location patterns in different European cities. 2. Urban transportation models. EUNOIA will investigate the interactions between social networks and travel behaviour, e.g. the influence of social networks on the planning of joint trips. This will allow a more comprehensive assessment of mobility policies, particularly of new services emerging around the idea of a shared access to resources, such as car sharing. The new travel behaviour models will be integrated into state-of-the-art agent-based simulation tools. 3. Link between modellers, decision makers, and societal actors. The potential of urban simulation models is still little exploited in policy decision contexts. EUNOIA will develop tools, e.g. 3D visual analytics, allowing stakeholders’ interaction with the simulation results, as well as a methodology for collaborative, multi-stakeholder policy assessment. In order to ensure maximum credibility and usability of the project results, the models and methodologies developed by EUNOIA will be tested and refined through several case studies conducted in close cooperation with policy makers and mobility stakeholders from the three cities participating in the project: Barcelona, London, and Zurich.

Audio sensors are cheap and often easy to deploy and, with the growing power of processing and networking capabilities it is possible to exploit audio data for a broad range of applications. The untapped value of audio data is still to be revealed but key partner in this project are already working on energy efficiency and traffic monitoring applications, just to mention few. There is thus great potential for RTD on intelligent (acoustic) solutions based on acoustical sensor networks to support a myriad set of applications of high (social, business, etc.) value. On the other hand, there exist now large-scale innovative test-beds to support experimentally-driven research on ‘real-life’ environments – the FIRE facilities! These facilities (notably here, SmartSantander and HobNet) have an installed base of sensors, networked altogether, capable of supporting some advanced research in intelligent acoustics solutions. This leads to the idea of “Ears on FIRE” directed at Experimenting Acoustics in Real environments using Innovative Test-beds (EAR-IT) by realising some distributed intelligence powered by acoustics. To explore, validate and confirm the RTD possibilities of using audio data both in indoor and outdoor environments, this project will use then use nice test-bed capabilities of the HobNet project for indoor environment and related application such as energy efficiency, as well as the capability of the SmartSantander project for large-scale outdoor but also indoor environments where applications can be useful in a smart city environment. The objectives will be both to validate main research lines but also to deliver new innovative range of services and applications targeting (but not limited) to smart-buildings and smart-cities.

The main goal of MobiS is to create a new concept and solution of a federated, customized and intelligent mobility platform by applying novel Future Internet technologies and Artificial Intelligence methods that will monitor, model and manage the urban mobility complex network of people, objects, natural, social and business environment in real-time. MobiS federation and intelligence is based on the symbiotic relation between these stakeholders, innovative prediction and reasoning methods that are using learned multi-criteria function to provide more efficient, energy-aware and environmental friendly citizen mobility. MobiS will be able to federate novel artificial intelligence services and traditional information platform services coming from the following sources: a) existing transport private or public service providers, b) ambient data, based on sensor infrastructures and c) social networking data. To achieve these challenging objectives, the project will develop MobiS federated platform, prediction/planning/reasoning services, multi-criteria decision function and, federated mobility-based services that correspond to the above mentioned information sources. Solutions will be tested in three pilots: 1) An inter-city mobility scenario in Sweden (Stockholm-Hudiksvall-Sundsvall), where an existing crowdsourcing application will be used, 2) an intra-city scenario in Greece (Thessaloniki) combining a traffic information system and the crowdsourcing application and, 3) a country-wide (inter-city) mobility scenario in Slovenia with a social media application, and selected traffic information system already operated in various parts of the country and in the main cities. The project has 32 months duration, is led by Insiel (IT), technically coordinated by ATOS (Spain) and will be implemented by a consortium of 9 partners from 6 different EU countries.

The dominant approach in offering cloud services is based on homogeneous commodity resources: large numbers of inexpensive machines, interconnected by off-the-shelf networking equipment, supported by stock disk drives. This is consistent with the predominant business model for data centre cloud computing, which leverages homogeneous computation, communication, and storage to provide low-cost application hosting. However, cloud service providers have reached a limit in satisfying performance and cost requirements for important classes of applications, such as geo-exploration and real-time business analytics. In particular, their platforms cannot benefit from the revolution in new hardware and network technologies for computation, communication, and storage, such as FPGAs, GPGPUs, programmable routers, and SSDs, which promise vastly increased performance, reduced energy consumption, and lower cost profiles. Their heterogeneity and complexity makes integrating them into the platform a fundamental challenge. The HARNESS project aims to bring these innovative resources into cloud platforms through a rich programme of research, validated by commercial and open source case studies. The innovations brought by HARNESS include: precise models describing requirements, policies, and expected performance of heterogeneous hardware and network resources; new virtualisation techniques tailored to these resources for flexible allocation and reallocation; advanced techniques for optimising cost/performance allocation trade offs, including spot pricing; an integrated, next-generation platform service (PaaS) for cloud-hosted applications, extending upon but compatible with existing standards; and software engineering principles for enabling applications to take full advantage of heterogeneous hardware and network resources. Through industry-led validation use cases, HARNESS demonstrates the impact that flexible and seamless heterogeneous cloud computing can have in the marketplace.

The SOftware-Defined Access using Low-Energy Subsystems (SODALES) project aims to develop a novel wireless access interconnection service that offers transparent transport services for fixed and mobile services. This will be achieved by developing an Active Remote Node (ARN) that will offer switching and multiplexing features together with radio, wavelength conversion and legacy systems compatibly. SODALES will also develop a low-cost multi-technology demarcation point. Edge connections will be Carrier Ethernet grade and will allow advanced OAM by Service Providers to support LTE (and beyond) and ultra broadband (+1Gbps switched access) fixed access and will offer Synchronization for TDM and Sync Ethernet support. An optimized and innovative management and control plane will be developed to allow Service Providers monitor their connections transparently in order to simplify network management and application interoperability with heterogeneous networks. As SODALES service will be totally compatible with existing access solutions, SODALES aims to become the ultimate access platform. Fixed fiber and radio access, LTE and beyond and legacy services (CATV and DSL technologies) can be delivered and managed in an open access manner by the SODALES interconnection network service. SODALES is a focused and balanced consortium of industrial (manufacturers, operators) and academic partners providing a novel and cost-effective approach to next-generation optical access provision.

This Future Internet Research Experiment addresses an important emerging class of distributed applications known as Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA). These include multi-player online computer games, advanced simulation-based e-Learning and training platforms, and other applications dependent upon synchronised bidirectional media distribution. These applications are computationally intensive and typically cloud-hosted, and place heavy demands on the network. The loads are also highly variable, depending on the popularity of an application and the behaviour of participants.it is possible to use SLA-based management of cloud hosting across multiple data centres to scale and load balance applications dynamically and securely, while reducing start-up costs. However, network bottlenecks are introduced which limit scalability and quality of experience. Today there is no effective means whereby an application can manage the network over which it runs, such that business conflicts can be resolved when the application is distributed across multiple data centres and/or accessed via multiple ISPs, providing a mutually acceptable balance between the needs of ISPs, application providers, network providers and users such that users’ expectations of performance can be met economically and sustainably for all service providers. OFERTIE will extend SLA-based management and APIs, integrating with OpenFlow, the programmable networking technology under-pinning the OFELIA experimental facility. The enhanced SLA-based management system will be used to control the use of computational resources by application processes running at each OFELIA site, and use OpenFlow to control routing decisions at each network switch. We will work with the OFELIA Testbed to run experiments to establish how programmable networks can be used to support appropriate technical solutions and investigate which business models would be able to use these solutions in an economically sustainable fashion
