This is a proposal for research at the interface of analytic number theory, automorphic forms and algebraic geometry. Motivated by fundamental conjectures in number theory, classical problems will be investigated in higher order situations: general number fields, automorphic forms on higher rank groups, the arithmetic of algebraic varieties of higher degree. In particular, I want to focus on - computation of moments of L-function of degree 3 and higher with applications to subconvexity and/or non-vanishing, as well as subconvexity for multiple L-functions; - bounds for sup-norms of cusp forms on various spaces and equidistribution of Hecke correspondences; - automorphic forms on higher rank groups and general number fields, in particular new bounds towards the Ramanujan conjecture; - a proof of Manin's conjecture for a certain class of singular algebraic varieties. The underlying methods are closely related; for example, rational points on algebraic varieties will be counted by a multiple L-series technique.

The main goal of this proposal to the ERC Starting Grant scheme is to make ground-breaking progress in our understanding of the dynamical processes that shape the structure of protoplanetary disks. This will be achieved by performing state-of-the-art high resolution numerical simulations of protoplanetary disks, using novel computing techniques and taking advantage of the future European petascale supercomputers. The project will address the following fundamental questions in accretion disks theory: - What are the properties of MHD turbulence in protoplanetary disks? - What are the effects of radiative processes on protoplanetary disks structure? - What are the consequences of dead zones for protoplanetary disk structure? In addition, the project will look for potential observational signatures of these processes that might be detected by ALMA. Since planetary systems like our own are believed to emerge from protoplanetary disks, the project will make decisive contributions in describing the structure of the environment in which planetary systems form, the interest of which extends to the entire planet formation community.

Think about an enantioselective catalyst, which can switch its enantioselectivity and which can be imprinted and provides self-amplification by its own chiral reaction product. Think about a catalyst, which can be fine-tuned for efficient stereoselective synthesis of drugs and other materials, e.g. polymers. Highly promising reactions such as enantioselective autocatalysis (Soai reaction) and chiral catalysts undergoing dynamic interconversions, e.g. BIPHEP ligands, are still not understood. Their application is very limited to a few compounds, which opens the field for novel investigations. I propose the development of a smart or switchable chiral ligand undergoing dynamic interconversions. These catalysts will be tuned by their reaction product, and this leads to self-amplification of one of the stereoisomers. I propose a novel fundamental mechanism which has the potential to overcome the limitations of the Soai reaction, exploiting the full potential of enantioselective catalysis. As representatives of enantioselective self-amplifying stereodynamic catalysts a novel class of diazirine based ligands will be developed, their interconversion barrier is tuneable between 80 and 130 kJ/mol. Specifically, following areas will be explored: 1. Investigation of the kinetics and thermodynamics of the Soai reaction as a model reaction by analysis of large sets of kinetic data. 2. Ligands with diaziridine moieties with flexible structure will be designed and investigated, to control the enantioselectivity. 3. Design of a ligand receptor group for product interaction to switch the chirality. Study of self-amplification in enantioselective processes. 4. Enantioselective hydrogenations, Diels-Alder reactions, epoxidations and reactions generating multiple stereocenters will be targeted.

EFFECTS+ provides a coordination service for R&D for Trust, Security, Privacy and Compliance (TSPC) in the Information Society and the Future Internet (FI). It has three parallel, related goals: (1) coordination of project contribution to the development of Future Internet; (2) coordination of project activities through Project Clustering; (3) coordination and integration of the results and findings from (1) and (2), feeding them into an ongoing roadmap that contributes to the agenda for future European research, development, and practice. To date, there has been no overall co-ordination of Future Internet Assembly (FIA) work with early T&S project clustering. The goal is to bring together existing responsibilities of participants in this CA for ‘caretaking’ Trust and Security in the FIA with the work of projects and project clusters, parallel Future Internet CSAs, and other internal and external initiatives, eg, PPPs, ETPs, ENISA. The proposed structures for clusters cover Compliance, Identity, Privacy, Trust and Security for the FI, providing for co-operation, sharing of problems, ideas, know-how, and results amongst projects and relevant initiatives, plus the dissemination of results and contribution to the strategic research agenda and roadmap. Project activities will address specific topics with agreed objectives, bringing in external expertise as appropriate. A Strategy Group will be established to pull together results and recommendations for future direction. Membership will include T&I ‘caretakers’, those from other FIA domains, Cluster representatives, and invited specialists in areas not otherwise covered, plus ex officio members from the Commission. Group members will act as ambassadors to other areas and initiatives, and to their own personal outreach.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality the trustworthiness of all its components assumes the utmost importance. The trustworthiness of any system in the definition of call 5 i.e. security, reliability etc. depends on its weakest part. When wireless sensor nodes (WSN) are included in the IoT it is likely that one of the more vulnerable parts will be the sensor nodes themselves. These devices can be attacked by “standard” network based approaches but also by physical means if they are left unattended in remote sites which is the preferred application for WSN. While much research effort has been spent on improving the network security of WSN, the protection of the nodes and especially their protection against physical attacks has been, until now, neglected. We are convinced that protecting the WSN is essential since compromised nodes put the whole system at risk. TAMPRES aims to significantly improve the trustworthiness of WSN. To achieve this goal we will investigate protection mechanisms in the following areas: • Prevention of side-channel and fault-injection attacks: evaluation and development of appropriate counter measures while also considering the severe constraints of energy and silicon area. • Provision of flawless implementation of lightweight cryptographic cores: development of secure and properly implemented light-weight cryptographic cores to provide uncompromised cryptographic strength to higher layers. • Attack resistant system architecture: secure integration and partitioning of the whole system including hardware components and secure low level services. The range of protection mechanisms available will be evaluated by experiments with existing and recently manufactured ASICs. To ensure manufacturer independence, both the NXP and the IHP technology will be used to evaluate the results. TAMPRES will also integrate its findings in a methodology which supports system designers to select the correct means to protect their new devices.

To survive in today’s economy; short time-to-market and efficiency are paramount for the creation of innovative products and to survive in the current economic climate. This is especially true for IT services which will dominate the way people work and live in the future. Cloud computing is essentially changing the way services are built, provided and consumed. Despite simple access to Clouds, building elastic services is still an elitist domain and proprietary technologies are an entry barrier especially to SMEs and consequently, it remains largely within the domain of established players. To accelerate the creation of highly demanded tailored services in a timely manner, the Cloud paradigm requires major change to address the way services are built, provided and accessed. Abstracting from technical complexities lowers entry barriers and empowers SMEs in especial, to offer applications to this significant market without large upfront investments. The project envisions: An Internet-scale application platform for design, operation, management, and trading of services and service compositions which can be tailored to different local or global communities. 4CaaST will provide benefits and business opportunities for the following stakeholders: • Application Providers can focus on building applications integrating the latest IT and Telco interaction (NaaS) paradigms. Particular emphasis will be paid to scalability, lifecycle and resource management. • Platform Providers can instantiate and efficiently operate a 4CaaST platform as a service and can establish an eco-system via the 4CaaST marketplace. • Service Aggregators can focus on value added services through composition and mashup. The project will bring significant benefits to the European economy. It will provide an easy to use Infrastructure for a More Competitive Environment, greatly simplifying design and delivery of tailored services and compositions.

The LCAOS project will develop and test a new diagnostic tool, able to detect: (i) the presence of lung cancer (LC), and (ii) an increased risk of a patient developing LC in the future. Diagnostic tests currently available are unsuitable for widespread screening because they are costly, occasionally miss tumours, are not time-efficient, nor free of complications. LCAOS will overcome these problems by using an approach based on volatile biomarkers emitted from cell membranes. A multidisciplinary effort, incorporating nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, medical oncology, and computation strategies, will develop a highly-sensitive, inexpensive, and fast-response, non-invasive, artificial nose (known as, NaNose), building on the coordinator’s earlier success in this area. The NaNose will be able to detect pre-neoplastic volatile biomarkers that indicate an increased genetic risk of LC, and the presence of LC. It has already been established that these biomarkers can be detected either directly from the headspace of the cancer cells or via exhaled breath. LCAOS will: (i) develop arrays of chemically-sensitive field effect transistors (FETs) of non-oxidized, molecule-terminated silicon nanowires (Si NWs); (ii) test the ability of these devices to sense volatile LC biomarkers from in-vitro tissue, and exhaled human breath; (iii) study the signal transduction mechanism of the volatile biomarkers, using pattern recognition; (iv) improve systems to enable the NaNose to distinguish the targeted biomarkers from environmental clutter, using methylation, expression profiling, and genome-wide sequencing; and (v) perform clinical-related studies to assess LC conditions in actual patients & tissues, and in the presence of real-world confounding signals. Validation will be carried out by clinician partners and professional mathematicians and computer scientists. Resources will also be allocated to ensure the commercial potential of the sensor device layout.

New knowledge is not necessarily readily applied in medicine, even when there is evidence of its effectiveness. As a result of the gap between knowing and doing, policy makers, professional care providers, patients and their families have benefited too little from new developments. Implementation research has developed models for stepwise implementation but it is still unclear which strategies are effective for whom and which factors influence the effectiveness of implementation strategies. From the point of view of implementation sciences changing palliative care is a major challenge, since adequate organization of palliative care requires collaboration between a range of different professionals and healthcare organizations. Besides, as a consequence of the ageing population, the number of people in need for cancer and dementia palliative care will rise. Therefore we will focus on implementation strategies in palliative care. The overall aim of this project is to develop optimal implementation strategies for using quality indicators to improve the organization of palliative cancer and dementia care in Europe and to study factors influencing the effectiveness of the strategies. We will focus on the implementation process and concentrate the work packages on: the organization of palliative care, the development of a set of setting-specific implementation strategies including an interactive website and instruction by consultants, the evaluation of the use of selected strategies to improve the organization of palliative care and factors influencing the effectiveness of the implementation strategies. This information will be used to build a conceptual model that should be applicable across diverse healthcare settings and that allows rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of implementation strategies. Dissemination of the results will be enhanced by involving stakeholders, including two European networks related to the subject of this implementation process study.

By design, the Internet combines two opposing aspects: On one hand, it works in a highly decentralised manner, allowing easy expansion and replacement; on the other hand, it has become a central unifying force for global information exchange. This paradox yields a constant stream of new problems and solutions, easily demonstrated by the range of projects within the FIRE initiative. In the meantime, embedded computing has also seen a tremendous development, using tiny autonomous devices to build distributed sensing systems. However, limited node capabilities and the tedious task of implementing applications still make it demanding to integrate them into large and powerful distributed networks. Hence, sensor networks and related areas still give rise to a large spectrum of research problems. Only very recently, serious attempts have been made to integrate these two long-lost relatives; one such activity is the project WISEBED. Building on the experimental facilities developed in WISEBED and consisting of a tightly knit team of experts in semantics, embedded systems, middleware, algorithms, and two cutting-edge SMEs, SPITFIRE endeavours to go one step further towards progress that can be felt by the general public. The overall objective is to investigate unified concepts, methods, and software infrastructures for the efficient development of applications that span and integrate the Internet and the embedded world. Thus, SPITFIRE will drastically lower the effort required for developing robust, interoperable, and scalable applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). The embedded component of the IoT is largely affected by its surrounding real-world environment. Therefore, experimentation on real platforms in realistic environments is a key for successful IoT research. The FIRE initiative and its large-scale experimental facilities provide the unique opportunity to evaluate and drive SPITFIRE research at scale and in a realistic environment.

Information theory is a branch of science that studies, from a mathematical perspective, the processing, transmission, and storage of information. The classical theory has been established in 1948 by Claude Shannon and has later been extended to incorporate processes where information is represented by the state of quantum systems. A major limitation of the present theory of information is that various of its concepts and methods require, as an assumption, that the processes to be studied are iterated many times. For example, Shannon's well-known result that the Shannon entropy equals the data compression rate assumes a source that repeatedly emits data according to the same given distribution. In addition, such results are often only valid asymptotically as the number of iterations tends to infinity. While this limitation is normally acceptable when studying classical information-processing tasks such as channel coding (since communication channels are typically used repeatedly), it turns out to be a severe obstacle when analyzing new types of applications such as quantum cryptography. For instance, there is generally no sensible way to describe the attack strategy of an adversary against a quantum key distribution scheme as a recurrent process. The goal of this project is to overcome this limitation and develop a theory of (classical and quantum) information which is completely general. Among the potential applications are new types of cryptographic schemes providing device-independent security. That is, their security guarantees hold independently of the details (and imperfections) of the actual implementations.
