Today’s network architectures are stifling innovation, restricting it mostly to the application level while the need for structural change is increasingly evident. The absence of adequate facilities to design, optimize and interoperate new networks currently forces a convergence to an architecture that is suboptimal for many applications and that cannot support innovations within itself, the Internet. 4WARD overcomes this impasse through a set of radical architectural approaches built on our strong mobile and wireless background.. We improve our ability to design inter-operable and complementary families of network architectures. We enable the co-existence of multiple networks on common platforms through carrier-grade virtualization for networking resources. We enhance the utility of networks by making them self-managing. We increase their robustness and efficiency by leveraging diversity. Finally we improve application support by a new information-centric paradigm in place of the old host-centric approach. These solutions will embrace the full range of technologies, from fibre backbones to wireless and sensor networks. The 4WARD results will allow new markets to appear, redefining business roles and creating new economic models. We will establish the Future Internet Forum as a leading standards body, enabling these new markets and opening them for old and new players alike, increasing opportunities for competition and cooperation and creating new products and services. These goals can only be achieved by gathering a strong, industry-led consortium of the leading operators, vendors, SME, and research organisations, with the determination, skills, and critical mass to create cross-industry consensus and to drive standardisation. The project is designed for multiple phases; the first one will establish the core concepts and technologies and last for two years. The planned effort of about 2200 person months corresponds to the strategic importance of this endeavour.

VirtualLife aims to provide an immersive and secure environment, combining a 3D virtual experience with the trustiness of a secure communication infrastructure. VirtualLife constitutes a new form of civil organization, finalized to the creation of secure and ruled places within the virtual world, where important transactions can occur. The aggregation in communities and the collaboration between users is encouraged in order to reach a management of common and private interests. This collaboration is achieved through the definition of common rules that take care of all the involved cultures. A standard collection of laws, the Virtual Constitution, finalized to the creation and regulation of a secure and trusted environment (Virtual Nation) will be studied. In order to reach high quality 3D metaverses the computing effort will be distributed on a peer-to-peer network with nodes connected using a secure protocol. Thus the resulting Virtual World will not be hosted on a central server cluster but will be based on a network of Virtual Zone Servers (VZ Servers). This gives the end-user the full control on the fundamental components of the whole world (Virtual Zone Server) and the protection of his sensible data. The peer-to-peer architecture will enable easy and fast sharing of contents without third ruling partners: the only ruling entity will be the law in force, defined by the users’ community and accepted by those users who join the community afterwards. Each VZ Server simulates all the entities in the zone and gives the users the possibility to create and share contents, media, and data in a very intuitive way. VirtualLife constitutes a new form of virtual organization, representing the transition from existing Virtual Worlds administrator-centric to a civil organization ruled by a common “jus gentium” within an immersive 3D virtual reality environment.

The EIFFEL Support Action forms a structure addressing the challenges of the Future Internet and the networked society of the future as a whole. Its foundations lie in the EIFFEL think tank formed in July 2006 from a group of individual researchers from both academia and industry, facilitated by the European Commission. Despite being highly successful in its operation, the current EIFFEL think tank cannot grow to be the representative body it should be without some organisational support. This proposal leverages the success of EIFFEL initiative by proposing a Support Action to provide the mechanisms and infrastructure that can strengthen the link between explorative and evolutionary research towards Future Networked Society in Europe. The objectives of this Support Action are to create momentum, build cohesion and support the research, governance and policy communities by providing the European discussion forum and road mapping service that will facilitate the creation of relevant initiatives and give Europe leadership in the creation of the Future Networked Society. The project will be organized around a number of Technical Areas (TAs) focusing on technological, societal, regulatory and policy-related questions, and will attract key persons to lead discussions and will ensure the involvement of key participants for each of the main TAs. The project will arrange two annual meetings for EIFFEL Initiative as a whole (with 25-50 participants) and a smaller number of ad hoc meetings as needed. These meetings will provide a forum for evaluating exploratory research ideas and for connections to relevant infrastructure efforts worldwide. With these tools the EIFFEL Support Action will stimulate discussion on fundamental issues of the Future Internet and build synergies between various research areas involved - including policy and regulatory requirements - in the interest of bringing Europe to the forefront of Future Internet research.

The POCEMON project aims to the hardware and software development of a multi-purpose autoimmune diseases diagnostic platform by combining Lab-on-Chip (LOC) technologies, genomic microarrays of HLA (human leukocyte antigens) typing, microelectronics, mobile devices, intelligent algorithms and wireless communications. The multi-purpose platform will be provided as a portable integrated platform with application to primary care level. The final product will be capable to communicate through its PDA device with the Laboratory Information Server (LIS) for detailed analysis, diagnosis and information extraction concerning autoimmune diseases; the LIS will be also developed inside the time-framework of the project. Microelectronics-microfludics for the LOC and robotics for the HLA microarrays' construction, constitute the main state-of-the-art scientific technologies which will be employed for the development of the portable diagnostic genomics laboratory. Autoimmune disorders (diseases) develop when the immune system destroys normal body tissues. HLA genes are the major determinants used by the body's immune system for recognition and differentiation of self from non-self (foreign substances). The combination of LOC technologies with genomic microarrays of HLA typing will provide a state-of-the-art diagnosis at primary care level, concerning multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis which are linked with the HLA CLASS I and II genes. The development of a primary care diagnostic LOC platform based on microarrays of HLA typing is the main target of this proposed project. Easily adapted developments will lead to the diagnosis on the majority of autoimmune disorders. The POCEMON platform will advance and promote primary health care diagnosis across Europe.

The objective of the LAMPETRA proposal is developing lamprey/salamander bioinspired artefacts to perform neuroscientific studies related to goal-directed locomotion and to find new solutions for high-performance artificial locomotion, in terms of fast-response, adaptability, reliability, energy efficiency, and control. These issues will be pursued by implementing a bio-inspired artificial system (mimicking the neuronal level, the biomechanical structure, the control functions) and by performing advanced numerical simulations focused on the neural control system of locomotion. The bio-inspired system will be composed by a high number of segments, a compliant body structure, muscle-like actuators, legs-like appendages, artificial stretch receptors, vestibular and vision sensors, and architectures for low/high level control functions. The numerical simulations are aimed at formulating a model of central pattern generator, at developing a software platform for replicating body movements, at implementing sensors inputs, visuo-motor coordination, posture control and legs movements. Experiments will include also a bio-hybrid approach, interfacing a lamprey nervous system with acquisition and control hardware. The project is expected to achieve advances in neurosciences, technology, and engineering. Neuroscience will provide information to be transferred to mathematical models, creating a bridge between biology and technology. Numerical simulations will be used to analyse these models and to study system properties in well defined situations. A number of features from lampreys and salamanders will be replicated in biomimetic artefacts. The project is also expected to bring developments in the field of control, i.e. the behaviour-based control inspired to animals, by rethinking control methods and involving the combination of digital and analogue circuits.

The overall objective of PolyMap is to strengthen the position of Europe as the leading force in organic electronics (o.e.) worldwide. For that purpose, PolyMap undertakes 3 actions: 1) Mapping public funding in o.e. and setting up an ERA-NET (WP1). This task will be coordinated with the European stakeholder working group 1. Following to an analysis of public funding in national and regional programmes throughout Europe, we will launch a series of round tables between the involved regional and national bodies to identify opportunities for trans-national cooperation. We will culminate in setting up an ERA-NET of o.e. 2) Open source database. PolyMap will set up an open database with regard to Large Area and Organic Electronics, containing information regarding materials, key technology bricks, devices, standardisation and applications. This is closely coordinated with other EU projects (Opera, Prodi, Polynet) and with the oe-a. 3) Supporting SMEs: SMEs are essential in the European research and industry area. In WP3 we propose to support SMEs, in coordination with the Opera project. We will analyse their specific needs, prepare a service and consultancy package and propose these services to SMEs. PolyMap is an essential member of the European house of o.e. imagined by the EC. Together with three other European projects Polynet, Prodi and Opera, it forms the "quadriga" which, led by the EC, will help Europe to build its advance in organic electronics.

According to recent studies, Risks Against Patient Safety (RAPS) represent one of the most important factors of dead in hospitals: during therapy, more then 8% of patients recovered in hospitals suffer for additional disease that in almost 50% of the cases produce either dead or significant additional health problems. RAPS occur in any stage of the patient care process. REMINE project idea originates from the common difficulty in conducting a analysis, early identification and effective prevention on RAP when there are significant mass of inhomogeneous data sources, stored in multimedia databases, and a distributed environments with different care professionals contemporary involved. To contrast the RAPS trends and the malpractices diffusion, REMINE prosecutes a number of main objectives. a new technological platform, new care process organizational requirements. Main elements are: mining of multimedia data; modeling, prediction, detection of RAPS, RAPS management support system and info broker patient safety framework. Main outcomes of REMINE will be: time reduction in collecting data, time reduction in RAPS analysis, standardization of common language, evolution in the interaction model, reference framework, patient safety improvement, health care cost saving (within an estimated RAPS reduction between 6% to 9% of RAPS.

NANOSIL Network of Excellence aims to integrate at the European level the excellent European research laboratories and capabilities in order to strengthen scientific and technological excellence in the field of nanoelectronic materials and devices for terascale integrated circuits (ICs) and disseminate the results in a wide scientific and industrial community. NANOSIL will explore and assess the science and technological aspects of nanodevices and operational regimes relevant to n+4 technology node and beyond. It will provide a forward-look for the industry, enabling informed decisions to be taken on technology development in order to speed up technological innovation. It will encompass flagship projects on nanoscale CMOS and post-CMOS. The activities will thus be centred on the “More Moore” and “Beyond-CMOS” domains but natural links will also been established with the other ENIAC areas. Within the Network there are all the critical facilities and expertise to occupy and transcend this space. We will propose innovative concepts, technologies and device architectures- with fabrication down to the finest features, and utilising a wide spectrum of advanced deposition and processing capabilities, extensive characterisation and world leading device modelling. This work will be carried out through a network of joint processing, characterisation and modelling platforms. The consortium will work closely with and take steering from European industry. It will feed back data and know-how on materials and devices that deliver the required performance. This critical interaction will strengthen European integration in nanoelectronics, help in decision-making by industry and ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of nanoelectronics for the next 2 – 3 decades.

A growing number of applications require the ability to analyze massive amounts of streaming data in real time. Examples of such applications are: market data processing, anti-spam and anti-virus filters for e-mail, network security systems for incoming IP traffic in organisation-wide networks, automatic trading, fraud detection for cellular telephony to analyze and correlate phone calls, fraud detection for credit cards, and e-services for verifying SLAs. Typically, such applications require strong analysis and processing capabilities, i.e., data mining, to discover facts of interest. Data analysis happens today on clusters of workstations using specialized middleware and applications. Although solutions for real-time processing of information flows already exist, current platforms and infrastructures phase three main limitations: (a) scalability, (b) autonomy, and (c) performance. STREAM aims at scaling system size by an order of magnitude, to 100s of nodes, achieving real-time processing of information flows, and providing unsupervised and autonomous operation. This will allow for much broader deployment of such products and services to new areas that need to manipulate large information flows in a cost-effective manner, and in particular, the Telecom, Financial, and E-services sectors.
