The 3D-LIVE project aims to develop and experiment a User Driven Mixed Reality and Immersive (Twilight) platform connected to EXPERIMEDIA facilities in order to investigate the Future Internet (FI) broadband capacity to support Real-Time immersive situations as well as evaluating both the Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Services. The main objective consists to explore 3D/Media technologies and IoT in real and virtual environments in order to sense and experiment live situations. The combination of FIRE testbeds and Living Labs would enable both researchers and users to explore FI capacities to enter the Tele-Immersive application market and to establish new requirements for Internet technology and infrastructure. Combining both FI technology pull and Tele-Immersion market pull would promote and accelerate the creation and adoption of innovative sportive events based FI Services by communities of sport practitioners. The 3D-LIVE project is built around four main activities: 1. Create a FI Experiential Design methodology including a holistic User Experience model; 2. Design the architecture of the Twilight Platform; 3. Prototype the Twilight Platform and 3D Tele-Immersive Environments; 4. Experiment and evaluate the Twilight Platform and 3D Tele-Immersive Environments in conducting the skiing, running and golfing scenarios. The selected FIRE facilities are EXPERIMEDIA CAR and Schladming. Of particular interest is the EXPERIMEDIA advancement in new methods and algorithms for content processing targeting the efficient delivery of augmented reality to mobile devices and 3D processing for on the fly reconstruction of live events in indoor geolocalised spaces. Impacts are the FIRE facilities more useful for researching FI possibilities when integrated with Living Labs especially in extending this to IoT synchronization; New Social Interactions and Collective experiences are made possible; New Business models for the emerging Twilight zone market.

SENSATION aims at increasing the scale of systems that are self-supporting by balancing energy harvesting and consumption up to the level of complete products. In order to build such Energy Centric Systems, embedded system designers face the quest for optimal performance within acceptable reliability and tight energy bounds. Programming systems that reconfigure themselves in view of changing tasks, resources, errors and available energy is a demanding challenge. The lack of effective design-time support for taking on this challenge obstructs the creativity and productivity of design teams. This is an impediment to European companies developing embedded components, devices, and platforms, and is a major obstacle to developing self-supporting systems. SENSATION will free the system design process by devising energy-centric modeling and optimization tools for the design of resource-optimal reliable systems. This depends on orchestrated, non-incremental progress in several research domains. The project combines Europe’s leading scientists in model-based quantitative evaluation and optimization, and in low-power reconfigurable systems. SENSATION provides automated analysis and synthesis tools for energy-centric systems. For the first time, tools for optimizing performance and reliability will be integrated with energy analysis. Based on efficient model-checking algorithms and massive design space exploration, this leads to a many-fold increase in system design productivity. Two industrial partners, GomSpace and Recore Systems provide challenging case studies and serve as industrial testbeds. The yardstick for the impact of SENSATION is a reduction in energy consumption by 50% and a reduction in time-to-market of at least 10%. An European institutes specializing in embedded systems, CISS, actively contributes to the development of the technology and its effective dissemination and industrial adoption.

The overall purpose of MUSES is to foster corporate security by reducing the risks introduced by user behaviour. Data security and privacy are of fundamental importance to organizations, where they are defined and managed via Security Policies. Most security incidents are caused by organization insiders, either by their lack of knowledge or inadequate or malicious behaviour. Nowadays, information is highly distributed amongst corporate servers, the cloud and multiple per-sonal devices like PDAs, tablets and smart phones. These are not only information holders but also user interfaces to access corporate information. Besides, the Bring Your Own Device practice is becoming more common in large organisations, posing new security threats and blurring the limits between corporate and personal use. In this situation enforcement of Security Policies is increasingly difficult, as any strategy with a chance to succeed must take into account several changing factors: information delocalisation, access from heterogeneous devices and mixing of personal and professional activities. Besides, any mechanism or control must be user friendly and provide non-intrusive, clear feedback on the risk being incurred at any time. MUSES will provide a device independent, user-centric and self-adaptive corporate security system, able to cope with the concept of seamless working experience on different devices, in which a user may start a session on a device and location and follow up the process on different devices and locations, without corporate digital asset loss. During project development, metrics of usability, context risk evaluation, user current trust situation and device exposure level will be defined and several guidelines for design of secure applications, company policies and context-based security requirements will be produced. A real-time trust and risk analysis engine will also be developed with security mechanisms hard to compromise once installed on the target platforms

Achievement of ever higher levels of integration in microelectronics will eventually require a radical shift from the field-effect transistor (FET) based paradigm to a revolutionary approach to computing. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is an alternative vision to binary computing since no current flow is required to encode binary information, and has been considered one of the most promising post-Moore alternatives.Implementation and miniaturization of QCA at the molecular level offer important advantages, including the perspective of room temperature operation, an essential step for industrial exploitation. However, the small sizes of the building blocks lead also to severe challenges when addressing the single elementary units.The present proposal specifically addresses the basic requirements to implement molecular QCA-inspired Networks, namely the measurement of the electrostatic interaction between a forced molecule (input) and its neighbour; the investigation of the propagation of a signal in a longer row of molecule (binary line); the implementation and testing of a majority gate.In particular we will address the following topics: -Pattern the molecules in controlled positions, -Contact the single molecules to force the state (inputs) and apply the clock (outputs) -Set up of a sensitive read-out system to discriminate among the two logic states of the molecule. -Understand the precise conformation and positioning of the molecules in the built system. -Evaluate the impact of non-idealities with respect to classical QCA on computation. State of the art research and development of activities in the field of molecular scale architectures for unconventional computation will be undertaken during the research programme, to reach the envisioned project’s objectives and to develop a technology for the development of QCA computing in Europe. We expect our results to build a solid starting point for the development of a novel unconventional computational paradigm.

The primary objective of this proposal is to carry the results, knowledge, and international collaboration gained throughout our first project (NANOBIOSOENS) that was conducted as a part of IRSES call in the last 3 years to the next level, which will focus on nanodevices and advanced applications. The proposed research project is focused on two different applications, main one being on biosensors and bioelectronics and the other one on potential solar energy science. The results obtained during NANOBIOSENS were very promising opening interesting possibilities to more detailed investigations, which produced around 25 publications with around 50 conference presentations. At the end of the NANOBIOSENS project, our success was published in the PROJECTS magazine as “Biosensors Received the Nanotreatment”. The obtained results along with the synergy formed among these 6 international partners motivated us to carry our research to a more advanced level. With this motivation, the objective of the currently proposed project is to test the synthesized and integrated nanomaterials in two of the most appealing applications that are “biosystems and solar energy”. This had been the motivation for this group to continue the researcher and knowledge exchanges for the above mentioned higher level of scientific objective that is hoped to be achieved throughout the proposed NANODEV project. In terms of participants, there will be two main distinctions of NANODEV with respect to the NANOBIOSENS project. The first one is our new partner who joined us from CHINA and is an expert in the field of nanomaterial synthesis, design of new bioactive compounds, and biosensor development. The second distinction is the newly built research center at METU, Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications. With these two additional assets, it will be possible in NANODEV to test the jointly made nanomaterial integrated compounds in two different fields of applications.

Many studies on the role of ICT as a catalyst to change learning scenarios have failed to grasp relevant developments because they were working on the ground of a given set of technology options and codified learning models. If the areas of implicit, tacit and informal learning are not taken into consideration there is little chance to discover fundamentally new forms of learning through ICT. The HOTEL Support Action aims to contribute to more effective, holistic and faster innovation cycles in European TEL, by increasing quality at the level of the cycle itself and of the different phases foreseen, that can be replicated in the future. Taking inspiration from the “Deming Cycle” model (Plan/Do/Check/Act) the HOTEL project focuses on the design, testing and validation of a new innovation working method for TEL (the HOTEL Innovation Cycle). The most important element of impact of the HOTEL project will be: - to establish a sustainable and replicable working paradigm (the HOTEL Innovation Cycle) to identify new models of learning through ICT, analyse the specific elements of innovation, assess the potential impact at the micro (technology-learning), meso (organizational-learning) and macro-level (policy); present results of the analysis and assessment to a community of innovators, researchers, decision makers; collect the results of field-test and in-depth contextualized proof-of-concept activities; - set up three Learning Exploratorium Labs (one in higher education, one in a corporate setting, one within an international professional network focused on eLearning quality) where the Innovation Cycle can be tested and validated and that will represent a contribution to the European Inovation Partnership for TEL. The focus of the support action is on adult learners and the ways they use or might use ICT to learn as a structured and fully organized activity, but also as a side effect of work and personal development in many fields.

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. Its early diagnosis is essential since it can be treated more effectively when detected earlier. New diagnostics aids are emerging including the recent techniques of optical coherence tomography (OCT) which permits non-invasive 3D optical biopsies of skin, improving patient’s quality of life. Nevertheless, the existing bulk systems are expensive (100 k€), only affordable at the Hospital and thus, not sufficiently used by physicians or dermatologists as an early diagnosis tool. The goal of VIAMOS is to benefit from advanced MOEMS technologies, enabling a new generation of miniature instruments. The challenge is to provide handheld, low-cost, fully parallel spectral domain miniature OCT devices (10 times cheaper, 150 times smaller), adapted for early diagnosis of cutaneous pathologies. VIAMOS will lean on the experience and results fostered from a previous European collaborative project, diffusing the technology to medical diagnostic applications. The consequence will be a significant upgrade adding new features such as heterodyne detection and integrated swept source. Thanks to its ability to deliver high-resolution 3D topography of skin with multifunctional modules (e.g. polarization sensitive cartography), VIAMOS will propose an OCT microsystem able to revolutionize the field of microscopes for dermatology imaging. To match these objectives, VIAMOS brings together an experienced consortium made of 2 academic institutions (UFC-P5 and USTUTT), 3 research institutes (VTT, FhG and CSEM) and 2 industrials (DERM and STAT), covering MEMS & MOEMS, photonics & OCT, microscopy, system integration and dermatology. A unique team of transverse expertise is gathered in VIAMOS to design and demonstrate a miniature solution for in vivo 3D skin imaging to further address the early diagnosis of cutaneous pathologies that will potentially benefit millions of people worldwide.

Regenerative medicine (RM) is a critical need to establish in this century, in order to raise quality of life and reduce the cost of healthcare in our increasing aged populations. To do this there is a need for key research teams within and outside the EU to develop meaningful research collaborations and relationships at an institutional level. skelGEN brings together leading research institutions across disciplines in biology/engineering/computational modelling/orthopaedic research in the EU (UK, the Netherlands, Portugal) partnered with complementary experts in New Zealand. This collaboration will allow EU partner institutions to work in a coordinated way to address RM in the human skeleton, including bones, cartilage and tendons/ligaments. This work will range from basic science through to translational medicine and involves world experts, emerging scientists as well as young researchers. The programme of exchanges and knowledge transfer is built around four main scientific themes that will feed into each other, to pursue of skelGEN’s long term mission successfully. These themes are centred on stem cells, scaffolds and medical devices, computerised modelling and overall evaluation. Advances in stem cell therapy are required, such as pluripotent stem cells that do not have the political and ethical concerns of embryonic stem cell populations. Dynamic scaffolds need to respond to their environment and can integrate bioactive factors, using biocompatible biomaterials e.g. producing hybrid constructs of titanium rods and bulk polymers, self-assembling short peptides etc. to create better tissue/implant interfaces powerful for potential new therapies in RM. We plan to use computational modelling to assist in the tissue engineering of scaffolds and cells/tissues in vitro and in vivo. Finally we will endeavour to standardise the evaluation techniques used to assess the biocompatibility of these future medical devices.

Research into cognitive radio systems has matured and many FP7 projects and initiatives have provided proof of concept implementations, demonstrators and showcases. But to date, there are only few standards that may be used as benchmark for the type approval or the certification of the operation of CR equipment and they are rather incomplete and fairly fragmented. Within this perspective, the scope of Cognitive Radio Standardization initiative (CRS-i) is to coordinate and support existing and future FP7 projects and to facilitate the exploitation of their results by establishing a concentrated approach to Cognitive Radio Systems standardisation. This also includes removing barriers and ensuring the efficient participation of EU research in the global CR standardization process. The proposed Coordination Action has the following three strategic objectives: -Offer a consultancy service on standardization to FP7 projects addressing Cognitive Radio, Dynamic Spectrum Access and Coexistence issues; -Extend and coordinate standardization activities of the ongoing Call 4 & Call 5 projects beyond the projects lifetime, namely FP7 QoSMOS, FP7 COGEU, FP7 SACRA and FP7 OneFIT; -Reinforce the collaboration of FP7 projects with USA and Japan‘s “cognitive radio stakeholders” and ensure that Europe will be able to turn the research outcomes into standard compliant products . To achieve these objectives, CRS-i will utilize and implement a range of instruments. Most notably is the creation of a Standardization Consultancy Service that will be used by current and future FP7 projects on CR as a tool to facilitate the pull through of EU research results from concept, to invention and through the standards processes. Other instrument will be the creation of a CRS project cluster within the FP7 Radio Access and Spectrum cluster (RAS), as a forum in which synergies and standardization priorities among FP7 projects are identified and facilitated.
