The ultimate goal of the CIVITAS Initiative is to achieve “Cleaner and Better Transport in Cities”. Since 2002, a growing number of cities are interested to participate in the CIVITAS Initiative as demonstrator, learner or supporter of innovation in urban transport. The current fourth stage of CIVITAS (called CIVITAS Plus II) will build on the experiences of the previous and on going stages (CIVITAS I, II and Plus). This proposal, called CIVITAS WIKI, describes the ambition, the approach and outcomes of our consortium to contribute to the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) for CIVITAS PLUS II. The CIVITAS WIKI consortium consists of five partners in a balanced mix between previous CIVITAS experience and fresh ideas from experienced European partners new to CIVITAS. Our plan consists of 6 closely related Work Packages: * WP0: Project Management, for an efficient and effective management of CIVITAS WIKI; * WP1: Inception, for the setup of a constructive cooperation with already existing and previous CIVITAS projects * WP2: Thematic Cooperation, for management and maintenance of lively, flexible and active thematic cooperation structures * WP3: CIVITAS Support, for organizational issues and guidance through the CIVITAS Programme * WP4: Tools & Analyses, for a further validation and exploitation of CIVITAS results * WP5: Dissemination & Awareness, for a pan-European dissemination of CIVITAS results, the CIVITAS Programme and maintenance of the CIVITAS website.

In many application domains all over the world there is a trend from “single-view imaging” towards “multi-view imaging”. Some examples are the introduction of 3D/4D imaging in Healthcare, High Definition TV and beyond in Broadcasting, multiple connected Surveillance Cameras for monitoring a scene. These applications have in common that they all involve an explosive growth in the generation of images and the need for real time handling of images and data. The question arises how to deal with this growth of complexity. Breakthrough technologies are needed to make imaging applications, such as the ones described above, handle the more and more demanding requirements concerning image quality and reliability and speed of image analysis: • Image acquisition needs to become much more intelligent about what data to acquire • Multi-view video processing requires sophisticated inter-camera calibration tools and sophisticated algorithms • Acquisition devices will also need to become more context-aware: devices should be aware of the existence of other cameras. Project Objectives PANORAMA will provide autonomous image acquisition, tightly coupled to the image sensor by research, development and demonstrating generic breakthrough technologies and hardware architectures for a broad range of imaging applications. Object segmentation is a basic building block of many intermediate and low level image analysis methods. It will be used in an X-ray system to locate anatomical regions of interest. In broadcast applications, it can find people’s faces and optimize Image Quality. In a multi-camera setup these imaging parameters will be optimized to provide a consistent display of faces. On completion PANORAMA will deliver solutions for applications in medical imaging, broadcasting systems and security & surveillance, all of which face similar challenging issues in the real time handling and processing of large volumes of image data.

This project aims to increase European Integrated Circuits (IC) quality and competitiveness by developing generic test instruments and interfaces which will drasticly improve the testability and reliability of ICs. Presently, production testing of ICs is done by large and expensive Automated Test Equipment (ATE). A disadvantage of this approach is that while the production cost of a transistor decreases with each new technology node, the cost to test these transistors remains flat or increases, especially for ICs with analogue, RF or sensors components. If test was built-in the chip and therefore part of the silicon it would ensure that the benefits of silicon scaling to new technology nodes translate to benefits in test cost. The concept of Built-In Self Test (BIST) is a well-known test solution for digital logic and memories but it is still in its infancy for analogue, RF and sensors. Although solutions do exist for these analogue, RF and sensor blocks they are typically point solutions and only applicable to that specific block. While it does reduce recurring test cost it will increase design and test development costs. Moreover it increases the time to market and risks since a new test solution has to be made

Biobanks are facilities that provide archived human biological samples for their use in health research. They are pools of biologic material and associated health information such as pathologies and treatments, and the materials stored and their associated information are very relevant for research purposes, among others. Biobanks are increasingly digitalising their biologic material (digital images and associated textual information), but ICT power is still underused. Currently, the digital images are usually spread all over different systems stored in different formats, databases and facilities belonging to different institutions. These image collections own a very valuable knowledge in several fields, but the exploitation of this potential requires mechanisms to gather, access, visualize, process, understand and exploit large image collections. BIOPOOL objective is to build a system able to link pools of digital data managed by biobanks (comprised by histological digital images of the biologic material and the data associated to these images) and to develop added value services for the exploitation of this information (data sharing, image visualization, text and image based search queries and advanced functions such as region-of-interest extraction or automated pathology information extraction in certain cancer types). BIOPOOL aims to establish an intelligent biobank network, demonstrating the potential of this data pool for medical research, diagnosis and educational activities. BIOPOOL consortium is composed of an interdisciplinary group of experienced partners with complementary roles, including 3 innovative SMEs, being the main beneficiaries of the project results commercialization. BIOPOOL has a clear route for exploitation and will not only allow SMEs and biobanks to increase their offer of products and services but also will improve their current business, and will enhance the pathology research efficiency by reducing the diagnosis time and related cost.

Urban and Regional Planning data sets are not aggregated so far, and thus it is very difficult to use them for any other purpose than for printing of simple publishing by the authorities that they were created by. Creating time series or comparative analyses on these data sets is not yet possible; researchers, spatial planners and professionals from the real estate world and other disciplines, such as insurance industry, investors, or market-relevant activities related to urban development have a growing stake in such capabilities. The plan4business project consequently aims to develop a platform that can serve users a full catalogue of planning data such as transport infrastructure, regional plans, urban plans and zoning plans. The platform offers clients not just the data itself in integrated, harmonised and thus ready-to-use form, but it also offers rich analysis and visualisation services via an API and an interactive web frontend. Functions offered range from simple statistical analysis to complex trend detection and to 2D/3D representations of these. The two main challenges that have so far hindered usage of planning data in such a manner are the required integration and harmonisation, which needs to be highly automated, as well as the need for an ICT system that can efficiently answer complex queries over the diverse and complex planning data sets. The business model for the plan4business platform foresees several different groups of active stakeholders: data providers (planning authorities, engineering bureaus, researchers), data curators (who perform integration and quality assurance), clients and the data brokers who will be hosting and exploiting the plan4business portal. Revenue is to be generated via on-demand and subscription services to different customer groups ranging from environmental and planning authorities and companies to banks and real estate companies and developers.

The aim of the TaaS project is to create a cloud-based platform for acquiring, cleaning up, sharing, and reusing multilingual terminological data, one of the most important language resources for industry, academia, and society in general. The motivation of the TaaS project is to address an evident need for instant access to the most recent terms and direct user involvement in the creation and sharing of terminology data. Such a platform will provide a variety of online services for key terminology tasks becoming an integral part of the multifaceted global cloud-based service infrastructure. TaaS services will perform term identification in the user provided documents. The platform will perform terminology extraction and return a list of term candidates. The TaaS infrastructure will ensure an automatic acquisition of translation equivalents for the obtained term candidates in the required target languages. Besides querying major terminology databases, term candidates will be extracted from the huge array of multilingual texts on the web. Users will clean up the obtained data and store it in the shared terminology repository. TaaS will cover all EU official languages and address the terminology needs for both human and machine users. Open access to data, API access to services, reliance on terminology data exchange standards opens a variety of application possibilities. The TaaS project will develop an innovative cloud-based data collection model combining both the latest techniques for automated data extraction and user involvement in data clean-up and sharing. Public terminology resources will be shared via well-established channels for sharing of language resources. Thus, the more users the platform will have the larger volumes of multilingual terminological data will be acquired, cleaned and then shared and reused via different channels. TaaS platform will serve terminology needs of a wide range of applications from which three usage scenarios will be elaborated.

GPS positioning devices are becoming a commodity sensor platform with the emergence and popularity of smartphones and ubiquitous networking. While the positioning capability has been exploited in location-based services, so has its spatiotemporal cousin, tracking, so far only been considered in costly and complex fleet management applications. The proposed project, SimpleFleet will make it easy for SMEs, both, from a technological and business perspective, to create (Mobile) Web-based fleet management applications. For this purpose, we build a large data pool comprising base data such as maps and traffic data from dedicated providers. A simple interface will provide a means to connect user-contributed data streams to this pool. In addition and to increase the market potential of the data pool, we also want to address the related geomarketing domain, which uses travel information in various geo-statistical analysis methods as well as visualizations of the data to be used in online and print publications. An algorithmic framework dubbed “TrafficIntelligence” that includes map-matching algorithms, vehicle routing services and a statistics package will utilize the collected data and provide value-added service. SMEs will be able to access the data and services by means of a Web-based API, a Software Development Kit (SDK) wrapping API access for specific languages and environments and Application Frameworks for rapid application development for target platforms such as Web (JavaScript), and iPhone and Android mobile platforms.

The main objective of the proposal is the development of a supervised Electrical Power Distribution System (EPDS) model, in Modelica language at a functional modeling level. This will permit future integration into an Energy Management Model (EMM) for advanced studies and design based on the Virtual Aircraft. The EPDS will be developed for a Generic Architecture (GA), as required by the Call. A key feature of the proposed solution is the definition of a dedicated Intelligent Load Power Management (I-LPM) function configured as a supervisory control system. Current state-of-the-art control design techniques, e.g. Petri Nets, will be employed, and rigorous proofs of stability will be provided for selected cases of interest. One of the new characteristics of the proposed controller is the use of Solid State Power Controller (SSPC) both for load shedding and for power load transfer under I-LPM supervision, which makes these components both active and safety devices. A detailed testing and refinement phase will be developed, considering also failure mode analysis with fault scenarios defined ad hoc. Coherently with the above description, the articulation of the activities encompasses three work packages, for the functional modeling of the GA, for the definition and design of the I-LPM and for the optimization phases, respectively.

The Project INARAS (Intregal Automated Riblets Application System) is aimed to find out an automatic and cost effective way to paint riblets on an aircraft surface. The research and development to carry out in this Project will develop, integrate and test an Integral System to be used on real aircraft parts or mock-up to paint riblets. Riblets are a drag reduction technique that consists of small grooves with sharp ridges and a height in the order of about a hundred microns which are laid on the aircraft surface., This strategy has proved to be efficient in terms of skin friction reduction in areas under turbulent flow, thus a saving in fuel consumption can be achieved. This project takes advantage of previous investigations covering several aspects related to riblets performance and application techniques. Progress on riblet application techniques to date has shown the need to develop new application strategies that comply with the requirements of the aeronautical industry in terms of surface quality, application, maintenance costs and delivery rates, when successfull implemented INARAS will address all this concerns.

Corrosion of Al has to be counteracted by first anodizing the Al parts and applying further protective coatings. During anodizing, aluminium reacts with the electrolyte and a layer of aluminium oxide is formed on the surface of the aluminium specimen. This coating is highly porous and is subject to attack from the environment and corrosive elements. Therefore, anodized aluminium is normally further processed with a sealing as a final step after anodizing. A hot water sealing process is one of the widely used methods. However in order to close (seal) the pores in the aluminium oxide anodized layer for corrosion protection a process involving boiling water containing chromate is still commonly used. Cr(VI)-based sealing solutions have been employed for several decades, but remain one of the most effective and commonly-used methods to improve corrosion resistance of anodized aluminium. Alternative sealing methods have also been proposed for example with Ni(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Co(II), rare earth salts, alkali metal fluorides, alkanolamine salts of phosphonic acids, Cr(III), fatty acids, silicates, etc. Already about 45 of the 92 naturally occurring elements have been considered as replacements for Cr(VI) in conversion coatings on aluminium. In general these approaches have not been as successful as the Cr(VI) sealing. Also it should be noted that Ni(II), Co(II) and fluorides are not without health implications, whereas most organic molecules would be expected to have limited lifetimes under the extreme conditions (UV radiation, low pressure, large temperature range) experience by commercial aircraft during operation. Therefore, of the previously identified approaches Cr(III)-containing or silicate-forming sealing solutions in REACH compliant processes are preferred options. An adaption of the electrical TSA cycle for improved corrosion resistance without negative impact on fatigue life of components will be developed. Detailed investigations and characterization of the obtained corrosion protected surfaces via ESEM, Raman + IR-spectroscopy and ESCA will be performed.
