CHIST-ERA is a Consortium of nine national organizations, each running a national programme supporting its research community in long term Information and communication science and technologies (ICST). The Partner funding programmes cover a large majority of the research in Europe and a significant fraction of the field worldwide. The focus of CHIST-ERA is long-term transformational research. Its principal objective is to reinforce the transnational collaboration between Member States in challenging multidisciplinary research in the area of Information communication science and technologies and to integrate the related national research communities in Europe through the funding of transnational research projects and accompanying community building actions. Even if the scientific scope of this Eranet is wide, the intention is to select from this area a number of focused, emergent themes of common interest, with the potential to lead to significant breakthroughs where there is not sufficient critical mass in a single country, and launch each year one or two calls on different selected topics. This goal is served by three operational objectives, namely setting the basis for effective and durable coordination and cooperation of the Partner agencies, identifying and sharing areas of common interest and new ambitious research topics with potentially high impact on future EU industrial research and competitiveness, launching common calls for proposals and their assessment. CHIST-ERA aims at overcoming the fragmentation of long term ICST research along national lines and thus create synergy to amplify the activities of the national agencies, to contribute decisively to the development of a concerted scientific policy throughout the ERA, and to fulfil the needs and reinforce the strengths of the European ICST research community, so that it can be at the leading edge of world competition.

The aim of this research proposal is the application of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction to the synthesis of peptidic libraries with restricted mobility. Specifically, we envision the synthesis of a family of cyclic peptides that will contain a biaryl bond, to further restrain their conformation. This biaryl bond will be obtained through a Suzuki-Miyaura set of reactions between two aromatic amino acid derivatives in the sequence. Initially, the reaction conditions will be optimized on simple models: the order in which the bicyclic peptides should be assembled, solid vs. solution-phase, Suzuki-Miyaura reaction conditions…Once the synthesis has been optimized, several peptide libraries will be prepared, progressively increasing the synthetic challenge and including D- and non-proteinogenic amino acids. The ultimate goal of the project is to obtain new series of peptides which will act as ligands of certain protein surfaces (POP, DPP-IV and VEGF), for which they will have been designed. The sequences to be synthesized will be first decided on rational design basis assisted through evolutionary algorithms and, later, based on the results obtained for the interaction with the therapeutic target. Special attention will be placed on the conformational study of such constrained molecules. The interaction of the new peptides with the proteins surfaces, as well as their ADME properties will be evaluated through different methods.

Modern medicine is irreversibly shifting towards less invasive surgical procedures. Conventional open surgery approaches are systematically being replaced by interventions that reduce access trauma and thereby minimise pain and hospitalisation periods for patients. The downside of this approach is that it is highly demanding for the interventionalist, entailing unacceptable risks for the patient. In the perspective of patient safety, SCATh aims at minimizing these drawbacks specifically for a series of new and promising catheterization procedures. These procedures have the common denominator of dealing with cardiovascular disease, the main cause of death in the EU. SCATh will provide the interventionalist with visual and haptic tools for robust and accurate catheter guidance, which will be developed through novel approaches, by fusing preoperative patient-specific anatomical and mechanical models and intra-operative data streams from in situ sensors. By complementing and augmenting the skills of the interventionalist, patient safety will drastically increase and at the same time, potentially life-threatening complications which result from poor or damaging (x-ray, use of contrast agents) visualisation or poor surgical technique can be avoided. The new concept for tracking, sensing, modelling and manipulation of the surgical environment will be integrated with existing technological state-of-the-art in close cooperation with clinical experts and industrial partners, both in the design and in the evaluation phases. The common efforts delivered during this project will result in a demonstrator applied to a carefully selected set of catheter procedures. Moreover, many of the technological advancements created during SCATh touch upon minimally invasive surgical procedures in general.

MADES aims to develop the elements of a full-fledged model-driven approach for the design, validation, simulation, and code generation of complex embedded systems to improve the current practice in the field. The proposal covers all the phases of the development process: from design to code generation, validation and deployment. Design activities will exploit a dedicated language developed on top of the OMG standard MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-time and Embedded systems), and foster the reuse of components by annotating them with properties and constraints to ease their selection and enforce overall consistency. Validation activities will comprise the verification of key properties of designed artifacts and of the transformations used throughout the development process, and also the closed-loop simulation of the entire system. Code generation will address both conventional programming languages (e.g., C) and hardware description languages (e.g., VHDL), and will adopt compile-time virtualization techniques to smooth the impact of the diverse elements of modern hardware architectures and cope with their increasing complexity. All these aspects will be fully supported by prototype tools integrated in a single framework, and will be thoroughly validated on real-life case studies in the surveillance and avionic domains. The project also aims to develop a handbook to provide detailed guidelines on how to use MADES tools in the development of embedded systems and promote their adoption.

Currently, femtocells and macrocells are seen as isolated networks, competing for the resources available in the common spectrum band, at the cost of injecting interference to the whole system. FREEDOM project will face key technical and industrial concerns about the foreseen mid-term massive deployment of femtocells by adopting a new approach based on cooperative/coordination paradigms, enabled by the limited ISP backhaul link. The project will not disregard the approach of isolated networks because it is met when there is not enough backhaul link connecting the femtocells and macrocell. In order to guarantee a strong focus and efficiency, FREEDOM will focus on: advanced interference-aware cooperative PHY techniques; improvement of the control plane procedures for seamless connectivity and system-level and hardware feasibility evaluation of the proposed femto-based network architecture.

The oxidation of food lipids has been profusely studied for decades whereas oxidized proteins have remained in the background. Nowadays, protein oxidation is a hot topic of increasing interest amongst food researchers because of the relevant and scientifically sound results derived from recent studies, including a previous EU-project (EIF Marie Curie; Pox-MUSCLE). Our studies in model systems contributed to understand the susceptibility of food proteins, and particularly, myofibrillar proteins to oxidation, the precise mechanisms and pathways involved in protein oxidation and the interaction with oxidizing lipids. We originally identified particular protein oxidation products derived from the oxidation of food proteins and investigated the interactions of myofibrillar proteins with plant phenolics. Nevertheless, the fate of oxidizing proteins and amino acids during food processing and storage is still poorly understood. Advanced methodologies are required to deepen the knowledge of protein oxidation and fulfil the upcoming challenges. In collaboration with the University of Helsinki, we developed novel and advanced methods for assessing oxidation of food proteins (Fluorescence spectroscopy and LC-MS). The purpose of the present project is to apply the skills and knowledge gained during the last 2 years to study protein oxidation in real meat products. Study the influence of processing and storage on oxidation events and the effect of protein oxidation in nutritional and technological aspects of muscle foods of interest for the meat industry will be the main concerns of this project. The development of efficient antioxidant strategies and particularly, the use of natural antioxidants (plant phenolics) will be also addressed. By funding this proposal, the EU-commission will support the reintegration of the candidate as an experienced researcher for the development of highly innovative studies that will strengthen the excellence of the EU research networks.

We describe the world by using words. Yet, words usually bring to mind different mental views of the world in different individuals, because of their personal experience and context. This is the reason why the “semantic gap” between our conceptualizations of the world, expressed using language, and our experience of the world, whose most direct representations are media, is far beyond the reach of current systems; and it is also why, so far, a universal solution of the problem of contextualizing search, navigation, and media management in general to the user needs and the operating environment has not been found. The key idea underlying GLOCAL is to use events as the primary means to organize and index media, e.g., photos, videos, journal articles. Instead of starting from media and seeing, a posteriori, how we can meaningfully understand their contents (e.g., by tagging them), we organize a priori our data and knowledge in terms of events and use media to populate them, thus providing their experiential dimension. Events provide the common framework inside which the local experience-driven contextual information can be not only coded, but also shared and reduced to a common denominator. Events have both a local and a global dimension. The local dimension enables the mapping of tags (conceptualizations) to media (personal experiences), while the global dimension enables the sharing of event descriptions (thus enabling social sharing and networking of events, media, and tags) but also of event structures across similar events, thus providing a common way to index media (social sharing and networking of event structures). In turn, the networking of events and event structures enables the creation of networked communities inside which common (global) descriptions of the world can be built and continuously enriched by the continuous flow of individual (local) descriptions.

The focus of LOLA is on access-layer technologies targeting low-latency robust and spectrally-efficient transmission in a set of emerging application scenarios. We consider two basic types of wireless networks, namely long-range LTE-Advanced Cellular Networks and medium-range rapidly-deployable mesh networks. Research on low-latency transmission in cellular networks is focused firstly on transmission technologies in support of gaming services which will undoubtedly prove to be a strategic revenue area for operators in the years to come. Secondly, we also consider machine-to-machine (M2M) applications in mobile environments using sensors connected to public infrastructure (in trains, busses, train stations, utility metering, etc.). M2M is an application area of extremely high growth potential in the context of future LTE-Advanced networks. A primary focus of the M2M research is to provide recommendations regarding PHY/MAC procedures in support of M2M to the 3GPP standardization process. The rapidly-deployable mesh topology component addresses M2M applications such as remote control and personnel/fleet tracking envisaged for future broadband civil protection networks. This work builds upon ongoing European research in this important area. Fundamental aspects of low-latency transmission are considered in addition to validation on real-time prototypes for a subset of the considered application scenarios. The cellular scenario validation is carried out using both live measurements from an HSPA test cell coupled with large-scale real-time emulation using the OpenAirInterface.org emulator for both high-performance gaming and M2M applications. In addition, a validation testbed for low-layer (PHY/MAC) low-latency procedures will be developed. The rapidly-deployable wireless mesh scenario validation makes use of the real-time OpenAirInterface.org RF platform and the existing FP6 CHORIST demonstrator interconnected with commercial M2M equipment.
