The E-FRAME project will provide support for the creation of inter-operable and scalable Cooperative Systems throughout the European Union. It will provide a centre of knowledge that is commercially and politically neutral, and which serves everyone’s long term interests. The project will extend the European ITS Framework (FRAME) Architecture to include Cooperative Systems, show how it can be used to develop and implement Cooperative Systems throughout member states or regions, and provide one-to-one advice and guidance to nations, regions and projects. The project will start from the architecture work that has already been undertaken by the current Cooperative System integrated projects, and the combined set of User Needs that is currently being produced. The FRAME Architecture will then be extended to include the applications and services being considered by these integrated projects and thus provide a common language with which to describe them. This will be updated later with inputs from other Cooperative System projects. The project will then use the Extended FRAME Architecture to create Physical and Communication Viewpoints to show how these applications and services could be deployed in an ITS Architecture for Cooperative Systems. It will also show how sub-sets can be used to describe the integrated project Test Site demonstrators in a common manner. Standards are needed to ensure compatibility, and the ITS Architecture for Cooperative Systems will be used to study the likely standardisation requirements, and create a set of recommendations for the appropriate organisations. The project will add to the existing guidance on using the FRAME Architecture by producing Deployment and Organisational Models for Cooperative Systems. It will also provide a Help Desk, Seminars and Workshops to those national, regional, Euro-regional or EC projects that wish to know how to apply the Extended FRAME Architecture to develop their plans for Cooperative Systems.

Scalability, reconfigurability, and security are three aspects of paramount importance in developing efficient, predictable and safe control architectures for large-scale networked industrial automation. CHAT is about developing core components (algorithms, protocols and procedures) of the next-generation of distributed control systems, able to tackle the supervision and control of larger and more complex plants while drastically reducing infrastructure, maintenance and reconfiguration costs. The concept at the core of CHAT is that of an embedded control design space, where fundamental research questions on the performance achievable by a certain subsystem with a given quality of networked control, can be formalized and investigated. The general goal is to encapsulate subsystems in automation components integrating seamlessly into more abstract levels of the Distributed Control architecture: the challenge is to evaluate what is the exact amount of decentralized control capabilities to be embedded in the component, which makes modularization and abstraction possible. The daring ambition of the methodology to be developed in CHAT is to provide a unified approach to a variety of problems arising in industrial automation and beyond, ranging from process control to manufacturing supervision. However, the project is grounded in a very concrete setting and centred on the industrial case of paper factories, where large-scale networked automation is integrated from the initial continuous process control stage through the end-of-line manufacturing and warehousing of consumer products.

Advanced automotive functions are increasingly dependent on software and electronics. The complexity and criticality of automotive embedded systems already constitute an inhibiting factor for further evolution of functionality. This is evident for single automotive systems and even more so for functions that interact between vehicles and between vehicle and infrastructure, cooperative systems. New techniques and methodologies that support cost-efficient development, verification and validation (VandV), including efficient field-operational tests, are required to exploit the new opportunities. ATESST2 will contribute to bridging the gap between cooperative systems and enabling design and verification technologies. The basis of the project is the architecture description language EAST-ADL2, developed in the ATESST project. The language provides an information structure and ontology that makes the development of stand-alone automotive embedded systems more systematic and predictable. In ATESST2, the EAST-ADL2 modeling approach will be further extended and new results will be provided to support development and VandV of cooperative active safety systems. Expected end results include: - An architecture description language with improved means for capturing the requirements, characteristics and configurations of cooperative systems and the related analysis and VandV. - Methodology and guidelines supporting language/tool adoption and cost-efficient development and VandV, and - Harmonization of EAST-ADL2 with relevant standards including AUTOSAR and SysML. The model-based development and VandV approach to be developed in ATESST2 contributes to improving Communication among system stakeholders, Documentation, and VandV capabilities. This is a shift from today¿s document-driven testing and simulation procedures, to a model¿based way of working. This provides means for stakeholders to deal with the complexity and risk management of cooperative active safety sy

The aim of this project is to provide a multi-level infrastracture of interconnected testbeds of large-scale wireless sensor networks for research purposes, pursuing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the aspects of hardware, software, algorithms, and data. This will demonstrate how heterogeneous small-scale devices and testbeds can be brought together to form well-organized, large-scale structures, rather than just some large network; it will allow research not only at a much larger scale, but also in different quality, due to heterogeneous structure and the ability to deal with dynamic scenarios, both in membership and location. For the interdisciplinary area of wireless sensor networks, establishing the foundations of distributed, interconnected testbeds for an integrated approach to hardware, software, algorithms, and data will allow a new quality of practical and theoretical collaboration, possibly marking a turning point from individual, hand-tailored solutions to large-scale, integrated ones. For this end, we will engage in implementing recent theoretical results on algorithms, mechanisms and protocols and transform them into software. We will apply the resulting code to the scrutiny of large-scale simulations and experiments, from which we expect to obtain valuable feedback and derive further requirements, orientations and inputs for the long-term research. We intend to make these distributed laboratories available to the European scientific community, so that other research groups will take advantage of the federated infrastructure. Overall, this means pushing the new paradigm of distributed, self-organizing structures to a different level.

NEMSIC addresses the future intelligent sensor and actuator systems in which solid-state semiconductor micro/nanodevices and micro/nano-mechanical devices are co-integrated for new functionalities and increased performance. The project proposes the exploration and development of low power sensing micro/nanosystems based on Nano-Electro-Mechanical (NEM) structures integrated on a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) or Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) technological platform. The applications that drive the technological NEM-based smart system demonstrators are gas (COx, NOx, SOx) and biological sensing (DNA, proteins and other molecules), dedicated to critical environment monitoring and applications in the fields of genetics, pharmacology and drug discovery. NEM technology will be combined with silicon CMOS technology involving novelty and scientific/technical challenges at three levels: (i) system level, addressing the challenge of true nano-micro interfaces, where signals detected by arrays of nanostructures are processed by smartly designed low power CMOS circuitry, (ii) device level, where novel true hybrid NEM-FET devices support new highly sensitive detection scheme and power management via sleep switches and (iii) technology level, where nanotechnology processes (top down processed nanobeams and nanogaps, featuring sub-100nm dimensions) will be developed and combined with advanced functionalization techniques for dedicated sensing that stays compatible with CMOS in future IC-embedded or post-IC approaches. The reliability of the NEM structures, combined with prospects for 0-level packaging are studied as key challenges for the success of such Nano-electro-mechanical-system-integrated-circuits (NEMSIC). Finally, NEMSIC is expected to provide the end-users with flexible design methodologies based on advanced but well-controlled SOI or SON technology platforms, with predictable performances and associated cost effectiveness.

The main objective of the RESUMENET is to host original research work that will systematically embed resilience into future Internet. The project work has three main dimensions. • At framework-level, work will elaborate on the D2R2+DR (Defend, Detect, Remediate, Restore; Diagnose, Refine) framework, and quantify the impact of different types of challenges and failures on normal network service operation. Metrics, classes of network resilience, policies and ways to negotiate them are at the epicenter of Work Package 1, whose outcome should ease the understanding of network engineers about of resilient network services. • The project will then look into the mechanisms and algorithms to add to the network infrastructure so that the requirements identified at the framework level be met. The network infrastructure, both the end-to-end transport infrastructure and the service layer, including servers and data storage equipment, are the subject of work in WPs 2 and 3, respectively. The focus is on basic functions and technologies that constitute the building blocks of the D2R2+DR framework; nevertheless, the two WPs also consider some study cases (scenarios) of network service failure, to exemplify the synthesis of these blocks into a working system. • Finally, experimentation is starring at the project, both in terms of resource consumption and significance to the project objectives. In Work Package 4, specific scenarios focusing on particular network service provision are composed out of failure types, and resilience mechanisms. The aim is to demonstrate the applicability of the systematic approach unfolding through WPs 1-3, and the benefits for several aspects of the network functionality. An equally important task from the WP4 experimentation activities will be to provide feedback to WPs 1-3 about the fine tuning of individual mechanisms in the network. The experimentation facilities will come from in-house test beds and facilities developed b

Wireless vehicular cooperative systems have been identified as an attractive solution to improve road traffic management, thereby contributing to the European goal of safer, cleaner, and more efficient and sustainable traffic solutions. The use of V2V and V2I communication technologies can not only help reducing road fatalities but also a more efficient and adaptive traffic management that contributes to reducing energy and environmental costs while improving our lives. V2V-V2I communication technologies can improve traffic management through real-time exchange of data among vehicles and with road infrastructure. Routing and data dissemination policies suited to the wireless vehicular environment operational characteristics need to be designed and optimized. It is also of great importance to investigate the adequate combination of V2V and V2I technologies to ensure the continuous and cost-efficient operation of traffic management solutions based on wireless vehicular cooperative solutions. However, to adequately design and optimize these communication protocols and analyze the potential of wireless vehicular cooperative systems to improve road traffic management, adequate testbeds and field operational tests need to be conducted. Despite the potential development of Field Operational Tests to get the first insights into the benefits and problems faced in the development of wireless vehicular cooperative systems, there is yet the need to evaluate in the long term and large dimension the true potential benefits of wireless vehicular cooperative systems to improve traffic efficiency. To this aim, iTETRIS is devoted to the development of advanced tools coupling traffic and wireless communication simulators. This will enable large scale computing analysis and development of adequate protocols and algorithms, overcoming the limitations of current data dissemination and routing proposals; characterized by oversimplistic wireless conditions.

Absolute dating of the variations of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and correlation of events since the Eemian in north-east Germany (ADVANCE-SIS)

Research into the extent and chronology of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) has been conducted for > 150 years, yet the general pattern and timing of SIS advances is only understood in a few areas that are spaced apart by several 100s of kilometres. Thus, a realistic and full understanding of ice sheet dynamics and its response to, and interactions with, palaeo-climatic conditions during the last glacial cycle (c. 110-11.5 ka) is still very incomplete. This is largely due to a pronounced lack of chronology in several parts of the Northern European Plain (NEP) around the Baltic Sea Coast, in turn the result of the absence of suitable material for most dating methods. We here propose to use a combined approach of detailed sedimentological laboratory and field investigations and OSL-dating at selected key sites in North-East Germany, a much under-researched area compared to other areas on the NEP. This will enable a tight chronology for the emplacement of various glaciofluvial, glaciolacustrine and glaciomarine sediments that are found on this part of the NEP to be established. The study areas were chosen because existing numerical dates are absent or, where they exist, provide contradictory evidence. Likewise, existing numerical dates from the surrounding areas on the NEP require similarly detailed dates in order to allow correlations to be made and also to fill gaps in our knowledge. The data resulting from the proposed project would ultimately allow numerical modellers to tune their models according to the field evidence. Only if such models are well-constrained by palaeo-evidence can they be expected to reliably predict future climate change. Thus, the proposed project is of immediate societal interest.
