The DETECTOR project is proposed as a complement to the work carried out within the GSA by addressing a missing element in the protection against GNSS interferences sources and malicious use of GNSS jamming technology. Whereas current GSA activities (ie PROTECTOR study) addresses the protection of GNSS infrastructure, DETECTOR addresses the need to provide protection against GNSS services at the application level, with a particular focus on ITS applications. DETECTOR addresses the operational need for authorities to have access to a low-cost GNSS jammer detection capability to support their activities in combating transport and transport-related crime. The project shall focus on the definition, design, development and validation of a low-cost GNSS jammer detection capability for ITS related applications.

The main objective of the LOGAM project is the design and development of an ultra low-cost attitude determination and navigation system based primarily on non dedicated mass market GNSS receivers and antennas and aided by MEMS inertial sensors. Accuracy at low cost is needed in various real-time applications such as vehicle tracking, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc… Making use of the complementary characteristics of GNSS and INS derived measurements GNSS/INS integrated approach yield navigation solutions with improved performance. However to open the way for its widespread use the embedded applications require not only accurate position and attitude information, but also strictly real time abilities, such as system efficiency, reliability and feasibility as well as the size, consumption and cost. At the end of the project our aim is to produce a functional prototype capable of demonstrating the targeted system characteristics fitting with a great number of present and future applications

The European satellite based localization system Galileo which is currently put into operation promises innovative solutions for transport. The goal of this project is to apply Galileo as a base for migration from conventional railway localization equipment towards guaranteed Galileo Safety of Life (SoL) services for transportation. Since in Europe nearly 50% of all railway lines belong to secondary railway lines (and probably even more in non-European countries), this sector may be assumed as a niche but could rise to a mass market if the number about 50,000 locomotives in Europe is regarded. Reaching for safe, efficient and energy saving train control the new resulting localization unit promises a short-term return on investment (ROI). The outline for the project GaLoROI therefore aims on replacing trackside or manual localization technique by satellite based localization equipment on trains. This fundamental shift of paradigm generates the localization data at the source of movement to the train. This corresponds also to ETCS level 3. Railway Operators will be enabled to replace expensive and old track side equipment by modern on-board satellite based localization units. On-board satellite based localization supply the train control and protection as well as interlocking and track vacancy detection with safe and accurate position information at lower costs. Cost-intensive maintenance of track side equipment will not be necessary anymore. If satellite based localization is integrated into a modern train control system, the capacity and/ or frequency of trains will increase and thus will enable more attractively public transport solutions and freight transport. Localization and train control could benefit through satellite based localization. Moreover optimized train dispatching will benefit from precise localization as well as energy optimized runs of trains.

The PANTERA project has the objective to research and develop a new technology in the IT security domain that will enable the lowest cost location based access control, geo-encryption and GNSS signal authentication. A USB hardware device (the security token), equipped with a GNSS front-end, samples the L1/E1 signal and encrypts it with an innovative approach for integrity protection. The signal samples are subsequently sent to a remote server for post processing in order to attempt Position, Velocity and Time (PVT) calculation and signal authenticity verification. Server side post processing enhances indoor capabilities and signal authenticity verification through unlimited computational power and access to external services, such as assistance data and EDAS. Operations of Geo-encryption, position and time attestation and certification, between users are performed server side on a service operated control centre, permitting the minimum hardware components on the security token. With the inclusion of a specific research activity on future signal authentication methods based on the Galileo signal, and a consortium excellent in this area, the PANTERA project will maintain the European leadership in GNSS security.

Eversince, the study of discrete groups and their group rings has attracted researchers from various mathematical branches and led to beautiful results with proofs involving fields such as number theory, combinatorics and analysis. The basic object of study is the structure of the group G itself, i.e. its subgroups, quotients, etc. and properties of the group ring kG with coefficients in a field k. Recently, techniques such as Randomization and Algebraic Approximation have lead to fruitful insights. This project is focused on new and groundbreaking applications of these two techniques in the study of groups and group rings. In order to illustrate this, I am explaining how useful these techniques are by focusing on three interacting topics: (i) new characterizations of amenability related to Dixmier’s Conjecture, (ii) the Atiyah conjecture for discrete groups, and (iii) algebraic approximation in the algebraic K-theory of algebras of functional analytic type. All three problems are presently wide open and progress in any of the three problems would mean a breakthrough in current research. Using Randomization techniques, I want to achieve important results in the understanding of groups rings by contributing to a better understanding of conjectures of Dixmier’s and Atiyah’s. The field of Algebraic Approximation is new, and has already been successfully used by G. Cortinas and myself to resolve a longstanding conjecture in Algebraic K-theory due to Jonathan Rosenberg.

Efficient solutions for open problems in computer vision are often achieved with the help of suitable prior knowledge, e.g. stemming from labeled databases, physical simulation or geometric invariances. Yet it has been largely neglected to analyse the minimal amount of prior knowledge, needed to satisfactory solve computer vision tasks. Even more important, there is need to steer the amount of priors in a dynamic fashion. Especially for scene analysis, database knowledge can become so large and complex, that it cannot be integrated efficiently for optimization. On the other hand, there exist geometric priors which are efficient and compact, but they have to be integrated and exploited explicitly in vision systems. As a consequence there is need to develop methods to conclude from (statistical) database knowledge to geometric prior knowledge and therefore to achieve compressed priors which contain the relevant information from a given database. Besides the efficient regularization during scene analysis, specific tasks require to treat the amount of priors dynamically, e.g. to maintain individualities of patterns or to avoid a bias from a given database. Our beyond state-of-the art research will focus on answering the following questions: 1) How to limit statistical prior knowledge to geometric priors for solving markerless Motion Capture dynamically with sufficient accuracy ? 2) How to stabilize tracking without introducing a database bias, or to enforce individuality ? 3) How to extract (geometric) motion characteristics for individual motion transfer and interpretation ? Advancing minimal dynamic prior knowledge means to seek for the essence and granularity of priors. This will have a profound impact well beyond computer vision (e.g. for cognitive sciences or robotics). We strongly believe that we have the necessary competence to pursue this project. Preliminary results have been well received by the community

This is an interdisciplinary project at the interface between Mathematical Statistics, Probability and Cosmological Applications. The principal focus is on the harmonic analysis for isotropic, mean square continuous spherical random fields, with a view to applications to Cosmic Microwave Background radiation data analysis. We will focus in particular on the following issues: 1) the characterizations of isotropy in harmonic space, the analysis of higher order polyspectra and their applications to non-Gaussianity analysis; 2) the constructions of spherical needlets/wavelets and their stochastic properties; 3) the analysis of random sections of spin fiber bundles on the sphere, as motivated by the analysis of CMB polarization and weak gravitational lensing 4) adaptive density estimation for directional data, as motivated by Cosmic Rays data analysis.

COLDNANO (UltraCOLD ion and electron beams for NANOscience), aspires to build novel ion and electron sources with superior performance in terms of brightness, energy spread and minimum achievable spot size. Such monochromatic, spatially focused and well controlled electron and ion beams are expected to open many research possibilities in material sciences, in surface investigations (imaging, lithography) and in semiconductor diagnostics. The proposed project intends to develop sources with the best beam quality ever produced and to assess them in some advanced surface science research domains. Laterally, I will develop expertise exchange with one Small and Medium Enterprise who will exploit industrial prototypes. The novel concept is to create ion and electron sources using advanced laser cooling techniques combined with the particular ionization properties of cold atoms. It would then be first time that “laser cooling” would lead to a real industrial development. A cesium magneto-optical trap will first be used. The atoms will then be excited by lasers and ionized in order to provide the electron source. The specific extraction optics for the electrons will be developed. This source will be compact and portable to be used for several applications such as Low Energy Electron Microscopy, functionalization of semi-conducting surfaces or high resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectrometry by coupling to a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope. Based on the knowledge developed with the first experiment, a second ambitious xenon dual ion and electron beam machine will then be realized and used to study the scattering of ion and electron at low energy. Finally, I present a very innovative scheme to control the time, position and velocity of individual particles in the beams. Such a machine providing ions or electrons on demand would open the way for the “ultimate” resolution in time and space for surface analysis, lithography, microscopy or implantation.

In 1967, Stein proved that the Fourier transform of functions in L^p could be meaningfully restricted to the sphere for certain p>1. The restriction conjecture, which asserts the maximal range of such p, was solved by Fefferman in two dimensions, but the conjecture remains open in higher dimensions. Strichartz considered the same question but with the sphere replaced by the paraboloid or the cone, and a great deal of progress has been made in the last two decades by Bourgain, Wolff and Tao, among others. Due to the fact that the adjoint operators of the restriction operators to the paraboloid and cone correspond to the Schrödinger and wave evolution operators, respectively, this work has been hugely influential. The main goal of this proposal is to improve the state of the art for the mixed norm analogues of these conjectures.

This project makes a key contribution to the AEA through the development of novel simulation models for the quantitative evaluation of the mechanical, electrical, and thermal behaviour implied by the use of EMAs. This goal will be achieved via innovative developments on different levels. Firstly, the physical-mathematical models of both the EMAs and the FCS/LG will be set-up in such a way that they can be interlinked through the exchange of common parameters, typically EMA-positions and aerodynamic forces/torques. Secondly, the individual components will be integrated into a single simulation model, which directly interfaces with the Shared Simulation Environment (SSE) of AEA, GRA3. Thirdly, test scenarios will be defined, which are adequate for the validation of the electro-mechanical and electro-thermal outputs. The electro-thermal data involved in these test scenarios differs from that normally considered for mechanical/hydro-mechanical systems. To ensure that the simulation models can readily be integrated into existing aircraft concepts and simulation tools, standards will be used wherever possible.

Developmental plasticity modulated by epigenetic processes such as methylation and post-translational modifications is influenced by early life events and determines risk of age related diseases later in life We propose a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating biochemistry, genetics, epidemiology, epigenetics and bioinformatics to discover novel biomarkers of ageing and interventional pathways to reverse changes at an early stage. A consortium of 8 members including three SMEs leaders in genetics epigenetics, post-translational modifications and metabolomics will investigate plasticity in developmental changes at pre-natal, peri-natal and early life stages on ageing in three European cohorts with rich early life data and age-related health outcomes. The identical twin data which has extensive epigenetic, genetic and metabolomic data will be utilised as a “discovery” set and the other cohorts will be used for confirmation. This multi-disciplinary project will improve our understanding of the links between fetal or perinatal events and ageing process and by combining the latest technologies in genetics, epigenetics, metabolomics and post-translational modification technologies. It will allow to develop biomarkers of ageing that reflect the role of early development on ageing. Using the collective skills and experience of eight groups at the cutting edge of European genetic and ageing research this project will identify molecular biomarkers detectable in early life that can predict age-related health (or disease) outcomes and identify pathways for intervention that can be modified while changes are still reversible.

Plasma turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon, influencing the dynamics in most of the visible universe and playing a crucial role in countless laboratory experiments of basic or applied plasma science. Yet, various fundamental aspects of this prototypical nonlinear process involving many degrees of freedom and leading to self-organization far from thermodynamic equilibrium are only poorly understood at present. The aim of this project is to tackle a number of longstanding unsolved problems related to plasma turbulence by means of extreme computing approaching the exascale. For this purpose, a novel generation of numerical tools will be developed and run on some of the largest supercomputers in the years to come, breaking new ground both scientifically as well as computationally. The three main goals are to develop simulation capabilities for peta- to exascale computations of plasma turbulence, to strive to unravel the general nature of plasma turbulence, and to better grasp the creation of magnetic fields in turbulent plasmas together with their effects on energetic particles. Exploiting the fact that the same basic processes are operative in laboratory plasmas as well as throughout the plasma universe, and involving a critical mass of scientists with a strong background in plasma physics, astrophysics, and applied mathematics, the project is well set up for frontier research based on fruitful interactions between these neighbouring fields. Most importantly, it will lead to a new level of understanding of turbulence in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and help pioneer the use of the next generation(s) of supercomputers – both of which will be of wide benefit.
