Automatic translation is an undeniable need in a globalized world where communication using several languages becomes increasingly more relevant. Translation Memory (TM) and Machine Translation (MT) systems are the two most elaborate technologies to support human translation. Recent developments in the area of Example-based and Statistical Machine Translation (EBMT and SMT), in particular, have shown the potential of data-driven approaches for producing fast and low cost translations. A number of user studies have however established shortcomings in the state-of-the-art of these technologies, including poor quality translations for low resource languages, interfaces that do not take into account user requirements and user feedback, etc. We propose the creation of an Initial Training Network to train young researchers on ways to improve current data-driven MT technologies (TM, SMT and EBMT) by exploiting their individual strengths through their combination and by addressing some of the main limitations of each of these technologies. Leading academic and industrial partners in all data-driven translation technologies, along with both professional translators and end-users of translation technologies will support young researchers of the network during the whole research and development cycle, providing guidance, core and complementary training skills and evaluating the resulting technologies. A comprehensive set of training materials on core and complementary skills developed during this project will be made freely available to other researchers interested in the field. We expect the training of researchers in the new skills required for the development and use of technologies that can increase productivity and reduce costs in the translation sector, as well as facilitate reliable communication and content creation in multiple languages, will contribute to several aspects of Europe’s ICT development.

Eye research has often blazed a trail for other disciplines to follow, giving a lead in neuroscience, genetics, the development of gene- and stem-cell therapies and other important areas of medical research. In recent years, geneticists have made many remarkable discoveries of relevance both to normal human vision and the development of inherited retinal pathology. However the genes and mutations identified account for only a proportion of cases of inherited retinal degeneration, and recent discoveries hint at new classes of mutations which are either largely undetected or the significance of which is missed by conventional genetics. In addition, for those genes implicated there often remains a black box between mutations and disease; how do defects in a given protein manifest symptoms in the eye and what underlies the huge variation in symptoms, severity and response to treatment? The objectives of EyeTN are twofold; to address these knowledge gaps through cutting edge research using novel techniques, including transcriptomics analyses, whole genome and single target RNAi, the development of animal and cell-based disease models, stem cell biology, bioinformatics and hands on experience of pharmaceutical research with direct translational targets; and to give the next generation of European ophthalmic researchers unparalleled opportunities to train with a consortium of the best inherited blindness research labs in the world. The Network spans academic, healthcare and commercial research sectors and is already well established with many existing collaborations. All fellows will carry out one or more components of their research and training in a commercial environment and attend a workshop on translating ideas and discoveries into commercially viable Bioscience produces and therapies, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and ensuring that we train a pool of researchers who are able to communicate effectively with both academic and commercial bioscience colleagues.

Future electronic systems will be bendable and conformable. They will be wearable, disposable, and ubiquitous. CONTEST will train young researchers in the fast expanding field of flexible and large area electronics with emphasis on “wearable” devices. Training will be implemented through well-defined work packages covering critical aspects of flexible electronics, converging towards an electronically-enhanced smart skin. Silicon and organic materials based solutions will be investigated, yielding systems with the advantages of both. CONTEST will push research frontiers towards i) multifunctional electronics, ii) bendable and stretchable electronic systems over large areas, and iii) integration of organic and inorganic materials based components onto the same substrate. Electronic skin will enable gathering “contact information” from large areas simultaneously, creating opportunities to extend the cognitive capabilities of robots, and in human-environment interfaces. CONTEST will thus leverage the strength of the EU in the field of large area flexible electronics, and trigger transformations in diverse sectors such as healthcare and robotics. CONTEST brings together complementary expertise in flexible electronics, sensors, system integration, and robotics from eight key academic and research institutes, and industry. CONTEST will deliver 480 person-months of unparalleled research training to 12 ESRs and 2 ER in these multidisciplinary areas. Each ESRs/ERs will be mentored by selected experts and will have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Hands-on project training will be supplemented with formal training courses in relevant fields such as system integration, fabrication technologies, and new materials, and a variety of complementary courses such as IPR, grant writing and exploiting the scientific results. Mobility within the network will ensure exposure to complementary academic and industrial research environments.

iMobility Support is a 3-year action supporting the deployment of intelligent mobility in Europe by organising the iMobility Forum activities including stakeholder networking, deployment support, awareness raising and dissemination of results of the ICT for smart, safe and clean mobility. This support action is structured on three support pillars: In the first pillar, iMobility Support actively supports the constituencies and activities of the iMobility Forum. It acts as the secretariat of the iMobility Forum and is the key contact point for the Forum members. It monitors the 23 recommendations and also organises the “concertation” workshops for European projects on ICT for mobility. In its second pillar, iMobility Support focuses on the main ITS deployment issues faced by the Forum: it monitors the deployment of iMobility priority systems; it encourages the usage of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) for ITS; it supports ITS standardisation; it identifies certification needs; supports the deployment of eCall system; and supports international collaboration where needed. In its third pillar, iMobility Support actively promotes the iMobility Forum activities; it maintains an easily recognisable brand with editorial tools; it consolidates and disseminates the Forum results in different forms; it organises the iMobility Awards; and, it contributes to selected ITS events. iMobility support keeps the high momentum of the iMobility Forum initiative. It is directly in line with the ambitions of the Digital Agenda for Europe in terms of ICT for transport, and contributes to other policy such as the ITS Action Plan and the European Road Safety Action Programme. In addition, it supports actively the international activities reflected in the EU-US Declaration of Intent and the EU-Japan Memorandum of Cooperation.

One of the weaknesses of wireless communications is the easy capture of the radiated signals by eavesdroppers, which enhances the risks of using these signals or acting on them by un-authorized persons. Given the prevalence of wireless technologies, their security and the reliability a person or an organization can have in the confidentiality of the exchanged information can be seen as a major economical and industrial challenge. Focusing on physical based security, the PHYLAWS project intends to address the improvement of the protection and confidentiality of information exchanged at physical interface through public wireless media by several means: · Identify the most promising security techniques operating at the physical layer level or exploiting the characteristics of signals transmitted at the physical layer . Identify the existing, upcoming of future systems, where these techniques might be implemented, without or with updates to the standards. · Carry out theoretical, simulation based and experimental performance evaluation of these techniques, taking into account realistic radio-electrical environments, relevant propagation parameters and use conditions. Develop the suitable algorithms where necessary. · Demonstrate the capabilities of a selection of techniques in enhancing the information protection and the subscriber confidentiality. · Demonstrate the capabilities of the selected techniques in reducing the redundancy of radio-communication signals, in enhancing the spectrum usage and the energy efficiency) The targeted protections will apply to a significant set of public wireless systems or standards: 2/3/4G radio-cell, local loop, private mobiles radios, inter-device short range communications, etc. The impact will be societal (more confidence, more privacy) and industrial (supporting European industry in developing and commercializing such solutions). The project should strongly influence the suitable standardization bodies, where needed and relevant.

This Future Internet experiment will create a multi-autonomous-system experimental signalling overlay on the OFELIA OpenFlow infrastructure. We propose to marry an existing NSIS signalling stack, along with an existing multi autonomous system Virtual Path Slice controller, to the OFELIA OpenFlow experimental facility, thereby extending OpenFlow with signalling and multi-domain interworking on a multi-autonomous-system topology. We will use the Virtual Wall facility to emulate a city broadband network with up to 100 nodes, and will model the network based on best practices as observed in public internet production networks. The work will be conducted in three steps (i) experiment setup and configuration (ii) experiment implementation and (iii) showcase and demonstration. Altogether four experiments will be performed. The first experiment will verify the inter-working of NSIS and the VPS Controller with OpenFlow. The second experiment concerns signalling performance; the intention is to measure the performance of the control plane with high signalling load and identify what Busy Hour Connection Attempt (BHCA) performance can be achieved. The third experiment will measure the resilience of the virtual path slice in the context of high background traffic load for uni-directional and bi-directional traffic. Finally, another experiment will investigate how the system reacts under different failure scenarios. The showcase will demonstrate the benefit of signalling for two use cases: (a) a scenario for true HD video; and (b) a HD video-to-video scenario for real-time interactive traffic.

The Go-Lab project will open up remote science laboratories, their data archives, and virtual models (“online labs”) for large-scale use in education. Go-Lab enables science inquiry-based learning that promotes acquisition of deep conceptual domain knowledge and inquiry skills and directs students to careers in science. For students (10 to 18-years old), Go-lab offers the opportunity to perform personalized scientific experiments with online labs in pedagogically structured and scaffolded learning spaces that are extended with social communication facilities. For teachers, Go-Lab offers pedagogical “plug, share, and play” through a Web-based interface and a community framework to disseminate best practices and find mutual support. A modular approach and inquiry classroom scenarios promote a seamless incorporation of online labs into the classroom. For lab-owners, Go-Lab provides open interfacing solutions to easily plug in their online labs, construct their virtual didactic counterparts, and share them in the Go-Lab federation of online labs. Go-Lab will thus promote their scientific activities. The project starts with a set of online labs from worldwide renowned research organisations (e.g., CERN, ESA) and then from selected universities and, based on initial in-depth pilots, will gradually improve and expand its series of online labs and associated inquiry learning opportunities with the increasing contribution of teacher and lab-owner communities. More advanced and later versions will be evaluated and validated in large scale pilots. The Go-Lab project throughout Europe will expand the resources for teaching science in schools and provide more challenging, authentic and higher-order learning experiences for students. Its sustainability will come from the opportunity for the larger science education community to add new online labs. An open and Web-based community will capitalize on the ‘collective intelligence’ of students, teachers, and scientists.

LinkedUp aims to push forward the exploitation of the vast amounts of public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational institutions and organizations. This will be achieved by identifying and supporting highly innovative large-scale Web information management applications through an open competition (the LinkedUp Challenge) and dedicated evaluation framework. The vision of the LinkedUp Challenge is to realise personalised university degree-level education of global impact based on open Web data and information. Drawing on the diversity of Web information relevant to education, ranging from Open Educational Resources metadata to the vast body of knowledge offered by the Linked Data approach (31 Billion RDF statements as part of the Linked Open Data cloud alone), this aim requires overcoming substantial challenges related to Web-scale data and information management involving Big Data, such as performance and scalability, interoperability, multilinguality and heterogeneity problems, to offer personalised and accessible education services. Therefore, the LinkedUp Challenge provides a focused scenario to derive challenging requirements, evaluation criteria, benchmarks and thresholds which are reflected in the LinkedUp evaluation framework. Information management solutions have to apply data and learning analytics methods to provide highly personalised and context-aware views on heterogeneous Web data. Building on the strong alliance of institutions with expertise in areas such as open Web data management, data integration and Web-based education, key outcomes of LinkedUp include a general-purpose evaluation framework for Web-data driven applications, a set of quality-assured educational datasets, innovative applications of large-scale Web information management, community-building and clustering crossing public and private sectors and substantial technology transfer of highly innovative Web information management technologies.

Trust is an essential prerequisite for connecting people in effective transactions. It builds into the society on elements like security, privacy, transparency, accountability and reputation. European strategy must aim at a strong competitive position in producing trustworthy ICT that bring new attractive ways of living and working that are perceived as trustworthy. The Trust in Digital Life (TDL) community consists of more than 30 members, observers and associates. The community developed and agreed on a vision on the “transparent payment for trust paradigm shift”, Strategic Research and innovation Agenda (SRA), project roadmap and pilot projects to bring tangible trust in digital services faster to the market. This proposal is driven by the industry leaders represented in the TDL executive board. The interventions delineated within the proposal will increase the value of TDL through supporting pragmatic actions e.g. developing and testing of generic trust architectures and integration pilots. ATTPS addresses four pillars, which include business, legal, social and technical challenges. The objectives of ATTPS are: 1. Enforcement of the trust paradigm shift 2. Create awareness at industry, institutes, governments across member states 3. Contribute to interoperability and standardisation at European level on trustworthy ICT Industry and government have to start the paradigm shift because law enforcement alone is not sufficient. The paradigm shift requires an environment that enhances simplicity for providers, citizens and government to experiment with solutions that provide trust in real life settings. The paradigm shift will trigger public debates and identify bottlenecks. It leads to a balance between trustworthy ICT offered against affordable prices and ICT that is congruent with public expectation of trustworthiness and the generally accepted principles of privacy. ATTPS supports TDL to implement this environment that will be used as public trust platform.
