Each year Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) causes over 1.9 million deaths in the EU, causing direct health costs of €105 billion. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), half of all CVD deaths, is the single most cause of death in Europe. Heart Failure (HF) – a CHD being the most frequent cause of hospitalization for people over 65 – has 10 million patients in the EU. Current treatment of HF entails recommendations from clinicians on medication, diet and lifestyle. Patients only receive feedback at doctors visits, or when facing symptoms. Daily monitoring, close follow up, and help on treatment routine is lacking. Non-adherence to the treatment regime is a major cause of suboptimal clinical benefit. HeartCycle will provide a closed-loop disease management solution to serve both HF and CHD patients, including hypertension, diabetes and arrhythmias as possible co-morbidities. This will be achieved by multi-parametric monitoring of vital signs, analysing the data and providing automated decision support, to derive therapy recommendations. The system will contain a patient loop interacting directly with the patient to support the daily treatment. It will show the health development, including treatment adherence and effectiveness. Being motivated, compliance will increase, and health will improve. The system will also contain a professional loop involving medical professionals, e.g. alerting to revisit the care plan. The patient loop is connected with hospital information systems, to ensure optimal and personalised care. Europe’s health system is undergoing radical changes due to an aging population. It‘s moving from reactive towards preventative care, and from hospital care to care at home. Tomorrow’s patients will become more empowered to take their health into their own hands. New ICT is required to enable this paradigm shift. HeartCycle, coordinated by Philips – leading in electronics and health care –, includes experts on textiles, ICT, decision support and user interaction.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) promise to break former monolithic applications into pieces that can be distributed across several systems and that can even be offered by external service providers. With the loose coupling of services in combination with established standards, SOA enables dynamic, flexible applications which can always change rapidly by integrating new services as well as old legacy systems even across technological platforms as well as company boundaries. The development costs can be reduced significantly by reuse of services and by dynamic reconfiguration of service compositions. With the focus on B2B scenarios, new applications can easily be built by selecting and combining services. However, SOA approaches have also a high potential to improve the development of interactive applications, e. g. in business processes or B2C scenarios. But despite of this potential, the development of interactive applications, i. e. the development of corresponding user interfaces and its flexible combination together with functional services is not properly reflected in current Web Service standards and research approaches and thus, remains a major challenge and requires substantial development resources. Reasons are missing hints for user interface generation like description of parameter semantics and explicit UI descriptions that could be used to at least partially automate UI development and to select appropriate services in service repositories. Another challenge is the design of service interfaces appropriate for composing services and a correspondent UI for independently developed, autonomous interactive services. Methodologies are required that describe how to define services user interfaces and especially how to select the right granularity for such interfaces for reusing them in composed user interfaces.

HERMES provides an innovative integrated approach to cognitive care covering the domain of cognitive support and training. This is achieved through an advanced, integrated, assistive technology that combines the functional skills of the older person to reduce age-related decline of cognitive capabilities and assist the user where necessary. Based on intelligent audio and visual processing and reasoning, the project results in a combination of a home-based and mobile device to support the user’s cognitive state and prevent cognitive decline. HERMES assesses the following five core objectives associated with the five main areas of cognitive support, care and wellbeing: OBJ 1. Advanced activity reminding to assist the user in performing everyday tasks and to support independent living. Modeled after human associative memory, activities are automatically deduced from the captured information using advanced speech recognition and processing algorithms. OBJ 2. Facilitation of episodic memory through the capture of content in audio and image including when, where, who, and what of a moment, including additional contextual information. OBJ 3. Cognitive training through games with important moments. OBJ 4. Conversation support on the grounds of interactive reminiscence based on the recordings of important moments. OBJ 5. Mobility support to address the needs of the user outside of the house with cognitive support when and where needed. HERMES aims specifically at supporting the decline in (declarative and prospective memory) capabilities by using other functional cognitive skills and training these, thereby reducing the need for active care and support and substantially increasing the ability to cope with everyday life and to live independently.

SysML bAsed modeling, architecTUre exploRation, simulation and syNthesis for complex embedded systems (SATURN)

Framework: FP7 — Cooperation
Programme: Information and Communication Technologies
Destination: Components, systems, engineering
Action type: Collaborative project
Countries involved: Greece,France,Germany,Spain,United Kingdom,Germany
Call:  (FP7-ICT-2007-1, 2007)

SATURN’s goal is to bridge the current gap between modelling and verification/synthesis in UML based designs of Embedded Systems that are equally composed of HW and SW. To do this, the UML profile for MARTE is evaluated for its complementary application with SysML, and significantly improved adding formal semantics of different Models of Computation for integrated modelling and verification environments. By bridging this gap, SATURN expects to demonstrate a significant reduction in time-to-market. This will be delivered through: (a) the augmentation of SysML with MARTE, (b) the use of MARTE as a platform to integrate SysML with a run-time environment for cross-domain verification, (c) the automatic generation of implementable descriptions for both hardware (SystemC/VHDL) and embedded software (C/C++) components of the targeted system, and (d) the integration of different abstraction layers allowing seamless integration at functional and target architecture level. Results are validated by two complex industrial proof-of-concept case studies covering a smart camera system and an outdoor broadband wireless telecom system. SATURN combines two SME tool vendors (Artisan and Extessy AG) with leading system houses (Intracom S.A. Telecom Solutions & Thales Security Systems S.A.S). The consortium also includes two major European Universities: Paderborn University & University of Cantabria. SATURN enables Artisan to build on its leading position in engineering based UML tools (extending SysML based on Artisan Studio) while Extessy will benefit from the project by increasing their respective market in verification infrastructures. Taking advantage of the open platform of Extessy AG, the SATURN process will be extremely flexible, and integrate with different third party verification tools and implementations. Through contributions to MARTE standardisation, project results will be exploited both during the project and will persist long after the project has completed.

Adaptive Reconfigurable Access and Generic interfaces for Optimisation in Radio Networks (ARAGORN)

Framework: FP7 — Cooperation
Programme: Information and Communication Technologies

The primary aim of the ARAGORN project is to research and develop a Cognitive Resource Manager (CRM) that aims to ensure that efficient use is made of both node-local and shared resources in a collaborative wireless system. These include, for example, local energy consumption and shared use of available bandwidth. In order to achieve this, ARAGORN will develop a range of standardised interfaces, using which the CRM will be able both to obtain information from and to update the configuration of each layer of the protocol stack, including at the application layer. Given this, the CRM will seek to optimise cross-layer and inter-node performance using multi-dimensional optimisation algorithms provided by partners from the machine learning and artificial intelligence communities. The proposed approaches have been selected because of the need to synthesise a relatively low-dimensional response from the many potential dimensions that could affect the optimal, all in the presence of incomplete and out-of-date information. In contrast to other cognitive radio research, the ARAGORN project does not focus on dynamic spectrum access networks but aims to add real cognition to mobile devices, enabling them to take reasonable decisions autonomously. The main expected outcomes of the project are a solid basis of theoretical and architectural work for next generation cognitive radios and networks and a working prototype implementation. The prototype will apply the techniques developed and prove their practical feasibility working in one of the ISM frequency-bands. As key components of ARAGORN, exploitable interfaces and the Cognitive Resource Manager Framework will be implemented. The high quality consortium possesses a unique combination of expertise from across the wireless, software and AI communities, and forms a well balanced team of academic and industrial partners, some of whom already participate in pertinent standardisation work.

The BONE-proposal builds on the foundations laid out by the ePhoton/ONe projects in the previous Framework Programme. This Network of Excellence has brought together over several years the research activities within Europe in the field of Optical Networks and the BONE-project intends to validate this effort by stimulating a more intensified collaboration, exchange of researchers and building on Virtual Centres of Excellence that can serve to European industry with education and training, research tools and testlabs and pave the way to new technologies and architectures. The Network of the Future, which is the central theme of this Call, will have to cope with a wide variety of applications running on a wide variety of terminals and with an increasing number of connected devices and increasing speed and data-loads. The BONE-proposal does not look into issues as convergence between mobile and fixed networks, nor does it consider issues regarding the optimised broadband access in the last mile using a wide variety of technologies such as DSL, cable, WiMAX, WiFi, PLC,… The BONE-proposal looks further into the future and takes as the final “Network of the Future”: - a high capacity, flexible, reconfigurable and self-healing optical Core and Metro network which supports the transport of massive amounts of data - a FTTx solution in which the “x” is as close as possible to the home, at the home, or even in the home. From this point the user is connected using terminal-specific technologies (wireless to handheld devices, fiber to home cinema, wireless to laptop, fixed connection to desktop,…) BONE clearly identifies the existence of the current technologies and also recognizes the fact that users also require the mobility of wireless access, but this mobile connection ends at a gateway or access points and from there a fixed connection is required and this fixed connection will finally be an optical link.

The ThinkTrust project is a Coordination Action project whose main aim is to bring together the European RandD community in the field of trust, security and dependability (TSD) and other identified important correlative non-technical stakeholders that would have a vested interest and can contribute in a meaningful way in the development of present and future programmes of Research and Development for ICT for Trust, Security and Dependability. The approach for this proposed Co-ordination Action will be: (1) to consult with the users themselves, with those responsible for facilities and services, and with the researchers and developers providing the technologies, through a sequence of well targeted workshops with preparatory contribution and comment via our web-site; this stage will agree an outline framework that allows common understanding of requirements and of possibilities for solutions; (2) to set up a Think-Tank of experts and representative voices to analyse and review the requirements and potential responses, which will ultimately lead to initial recommendations and options; (3) take these back to the constituencies through workshops and web-based consultation process; (4) compile final recommendations for future European RandD and for preparatory actions in other areas critical to long-term acceptance and satisfaction in the Information Society.

The business of the future will be characterized by highly dynamic service-oriented architectures where outsourcing and distributed management constitute the norm rather than the exception with an increasing complexity in security and trust requirements from regulations and business standards. Best-effort security will no longer be accepted and business entities will have to provide certified assurance services to customers and expect assured services from contractors in order to manage the associated business and technology risk. MASTER aims at providing methodologies and infrastructures that facilitate the monitoring, enforcement, and audit of quantifiable indicators on the security of a business process, and that provide manageable assurance of the security levels, trust levels and regulatory compliance of highly dynamic service- oriented architecture in centralized, distributed (multi-domain), and outsourcing contexts. To this extents MASTER will identify new innovation components in terms of key assurance indicators, key security indicators, protection and regulatory models and security model transformations coupled with the methodological and verification tools for the analysis and assessment of business processes. It will further define an overall infrastructure for the monitoring, enforcement, reaction, diagnosis and assessment of these indicators centralized, distributed (multi-domain), and outsourcing contexts. It will show a proof-of-concept implementation in the challenging realms of Banking/Insurance and in the e-Health IT systems. MASTER will thus deliver a strategic component of the security and trust pillar of the European Technology Platform NESSI which makes it a NESSI strategic project.

NESSI 2010, a SA funded in the context of FP7, focuses on specific tasks in support of the NESSI ETP, the Networked European Software and Services Initiative. NESSI was launched by industry in September 2005. Two years on, NESSI unites a community of 22 partners and 300 members around a single strategic objective: supporting the evolution from software to services. NESSI has delivered its Strategic Research Agenda and defined its delivery as NEXOF, the NESSI Open Service Framework. . NESSI intends to deliver a reference implementation of NEXOF and at the same time foster multiple implementations in open source or commercial models that deliver the required quality level of security, identification, interoperability and compatibility. NEXOF is key in ensuring that business services can be developed and made accessible to the largest possible audiences while relying on an underlying framework that is neither proprietary nor company centric. In order to sustain the success of NESSI and validate NEXOF, it is time to enter the next stage where NESSI’s Community efforts focus on increasing memberships in selected directions, supporting the research coordination role devoted to active ETPs and sustaining and increasing the dynamic momentum. In this context, NESSI 2010 has been allocated specific tasks, focusing on strategy formulation, community clustering, coordination with national programmes, fostering involvement of ICT SMEs and increasing awareness of NESSI through events and dissemination. NESSI 2010’s implementation is shared between a subset of NESSI partners that have committed to allocate the human and financial resources to the benefit of the entire NESSI community. These partners with their assigned primary responsibilities are Atos Origin( Interlinking activities), Engineering (NESSI Strategy & Communication activities), Thales (NESSI Office / Organisation strategy) and TIE (ICT SME specific activities).
