This project proposes a unified, open-source execution framework for scalable data analytics. Data analytics tools have become essential for harnessing the power of our era's data deluge. Current technologies are restrictive, as their efficacy is usually bound to a single data and compute model, often depending on proprietary systems. The main idea behind ASAP is that no single execution model is suitable for all types of tasks and no single data model (and store) is suitable for all types of data. The project makes the following innovative contributions: (a) A general-purpose task-parallel programming model. The runtime will incorporate and advance state-of-the-art task-parallel programming models features, namely: (i) irregular general-purpose computations, (ii) resource elasticity, (iii) synchronization, data-transfer, locality and scheduling abstraction, (iv) ability to handle large sets of irregular distributed data, and (v) fault-tolerance. (b) A modeling framework that constantly evaluates the cost, quality and performance of data and computational resources in order to decide on the most advantageous store, indexing and execution pattern available. (c) A unique adaptation methodology that will enable the analytics expert to amend the task she has submitted at an initial or later stage. (d) A state-of-the-art visualization engine that will enable the analytics expert to obtain accurate, intuitive results of the analytics tasks she has initiated in real-time. Two exemplary applications that showcase the ASAP technology in the areas of Web content and large-scale business analytics will be developed. The consortium -- led by the Foundation for Research & Technology -- is well-positioned to achieve its objectives by bringing together a team of leading researchers in data-management technologies. These are combined with active industrial and leading user organizations that offer expertise in the production-level domain of data analytics.

Amongst the few distinctive European alliances carrying the promise of making a lasting impact in software-defined networking (SDN) and the IT industry is the research and industrial communities pursuing developments in the Path Computation Element (PCE), an effort “made-in-the-EU”. In regards to PCE design, deployment, and evolution, Europeans are amongst today’s leaders in the process of transitioning PCE from software-defined concept to interoperable networking standards. This is particularly the case in the standardization bodies of IETF and ETSI, including the areas of advanced optical networks, sensor networks as well as frameworks for the Internet of Things (IoT). We are still facing a number of open challenges in the SDN areas, yet to be addressed through PCE design. First, current Open Networking Foundation (ONF) specifications lack control systems and well-defined interfaces with external (non-ONF) functions, which represents a not-to-be-missed opportunity for the PCE-based architecture. Second, the new ETSI initiative on Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is leveraging virtualization concepts, with the growing role of PCE concepts. Third, Application-based Network Operations (ABNO) – an architecture proposed, developed and led within the IETF by leading members of our consortium – uses a variety of PCE-based tools and techniques. PACE seizes this great opportunity of consolidation of the existing PCE developments, thereby facilitating a one-stop solution for all PCE-related issues, with an open-source software repository, workshops, standardization activities, plugin marketplace, etc. PACE will bring together a community of standardization and community leaders, developers, and academics. PACE will ensure that different aspects of PCE are not developed in isolation, while addressing interoperability issues, and thus avoiding any delays in innovation, and in sealing European leadership in the sector.

Five major global semiconductor companies are working in the G450C consortium based in Albany N.Y. to introduce 450mm wafer semiconductor processing and are now installing the first wave of 450mm prototype systems. Intel and TSMC lead this effort with published roadmaps showing pilot lines in 2016, production in 2018. Samsung will soon follow which will force GlobalFoundries, SK Hynix, Toshiba, UMC and Micron to invest in 450mm else face a steady decline.The 2012 AENEAS/Catrene paper “Innovation for the future of Europe: Nanoelectronics beyond 2020” emphasized the importance of the 450mm transition for the European Equipment & Materials (E&M) companies. Most of these companies decided that to secure their global markets they would take an active part in 450mm development and participated in cooperative 450mm projects. The ENIAC project EEMI450 is complete and projects in CATRENE (SOI450 & NGC450) and ENIAC (EEM450PR & E450EDL) are proceeding, the latter two targeting a 450mm pilot line at imec. Further projects are planned and Europe can feel proud its E&M companies are striving for leadership in each of their fields.The ENIAC Coordination Action Enable450 began in 2012 to assist European 450mm programmes with data collection, standards, G450C liaison, dissemination of 450mm topics and other activities. The Bridge450 Support Action seeks to run in parallel with Enable450 to expand its scope with more focus on Asian semiconductor manufacture. Bridge450 will support the European E&M companies and specially the SMEs to become aware of and understand Asian technical requirements and to develop solutions to address this market. To assist the information flow, a Semiconductor Board will include Samsung and TSMC.A second objective of Bridge450 will be to establish the possibilities of 450mm semi-manufacturing in Europe and what would be needed to facilitate such an operation, which will be vital for the future of advanced nano-electronics in Europe.

Keywords: this support action will become active next to the ca enable450 to enhance the links with asia and to emphasize the manufacturing aspect of the 450mm transition.

IPHOBAC-NG addresses application-specific lasers, optical modulators and detectors to construct novel photonic millimeter-wave radios (PMWR) providing a) complementary broadband 1-10 Gb/s wireless access and b) 3 Gb/s mobile backhaul; both being seamlessly integrated in next generation optical access (NGOA) networks based upon a WDM-PON infrastructure. The proposed PMWR will employ novel radio access units (RAU) featuring direct optic-to-wireless and wireless-to-optic conversion. The consortium will realize these functions for enabling a seamless interfacing of the wireless domain with the optical network infrastructure. IPHOBAC-NG will achieve its challenging targets by developing the following application-specific integrated photonic components:a) Integrated coherent heterodyne 70/80 GHz photoreceivers (Pout>3 dBm, S>0.5 A/W) b) Low-linewidth (100 kHz) frequency-agile (>3 nm) wavelength tunable lasersc) High-frequency (70/80 GHz), high-efficient (>0.5 A/W), high-power (>+3 dBm) photodiodesd) High-frequency (70/80 GHz), high output power (>+17 dBm) amplifier The proposed components and RAU concept will allow seamless integration of the radio head-ends into WDM and even ultra-dense WDM PON access networks because it will exploit the following:a) coherent detection to enable high sensitivity, dense WDM, and direct wireless-to-optic conversion with practically no latencies b) electronic signal processing to be centralized in the OLT to mitigate for distortions due to cost optimized components and to allow for spectrally efficient modulation formats; avoiding DSPs in the RAU for energy-efficiency and cost reasonsc) photonic integrated circuits to bring the relatively complex optics into a cost position suitable for the access market. If successful, IPHOBAC-NG will reinforce European industrial leadership, competitiveness and market share especially in fields of photonic components, photonic integration, as well as in optical and wireless communications

ATMOSTAT has been working for a dozen years on the design of two-phase fluid loops for harsh environments with high density puissance dissipated. We have a very innovative and disruptive technology of loop heat pipes based on mechanical pumping with systems including specific evaporators (high performance process). The measured range of heat flux is better than expected for this type of aircraft application (more than 100W/cm²). Our solution can meet all technical requirements of the CLEANSKY call and we respect the compliance with the expected timetable Our Loop Heat Pipes iclude at least an evaporator, a condenser, a compact mechanical pump, an expansion vessel, an evaporable fluid, connection pipes and an electronic circuit. The purpose of the project is to develop a practical aeronautic application to reduce drastically thermal contrains, weight and dimensions of high dense power electronics modules (PEM with new wide bandgap materials, for example based on SiC or GaN). The reliability of our solution is guaranteed by the method of design used (APASE®) and the experience of ATMOSTAT in this kind of development (Adequacy and quality of resources, management and implementation capabilities). A lot of applications will exist in the future dedicated to the aircraft world but also in the world of renewable energies, rail transport, and more generally carbon-free mobilities.We think the project must be a contribution to European competitiveness. ATMOSTAT is a strategic supplier of the french defense. ATMOSTAT is a industrial subsidiary of ALCEN group (Mid-Sized, 1.800 persons, revenues of 250 million euros). This call is a real opportunity to mature our technology and go to market faster. .

Here, we propose a novel design for a significantly improved detector for the emerging field of coherent two-dimension infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy, which is an optical analog of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR). 2DIR is a cutting edge technique which is rapidly growing and has applications in subjects as diverse as energy sciences, biophysics, biomedical research and physical chemistry. Currently, the single most important technical problem that is generally agreed to limit applications of the methodology is the sensitivity with which the signals are measured. Having worked on multiple stabilisation techniques during the ERC funded research it was realised that a straightforward design alteration of the infrared detector will improve the sensitivity very significantly, theoretically by more than one order of magnitude. Here, the technical principles are explained, and a plan for commercialising the instrument in collaboration with the current market leader - Infrared System Development Corp. (ISDC) -. We apply for funding to develop the prototype.

Protein therapeutics has increased dramatically over the last two decades and currently includes more than 130 therapeutic proteins in almost all fields of medicine. However, many proteins are not suitable for therapeutic application due to the lack of sufficient in vivo stability and biological efficacy. Thus, engineering of existing proteins for improved affinity and stability will significantly increase their potential for therapeutic applications. In recent years, the cytokine interleukin 17A (IL-17A) was identified as an important pro-inflammatory protein that plays an essential role in the progression of several autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, IL-17A is a promising drug target, and blocking its interactions with the endogenous IL-17RA receptor may constitute an important strategy for the treatment of common autoimmune diseases. We have recently applied protein engineering to generate decoy IL-17RA mutants with improved binding affinity and stability relative to the native soluble receptor. These variants showed promising results in inhibiting psoriasis plaque formation in a human psoriasis mouse model. Here, I propose to further develop the engineered IL-17RA for future pre-clinical and clinical development and pave the way for its commercialization. I propose to perform final lead optimization of the engineered IL-17RA variants by reducing the number of mutations while maintaining the improved characteristics of the engineered receptor. In parallel, I intend to perform detailed intellectual property (IP) and market analysis for identifying the ideal partner to promote the commercialization of the engineered IL-17RA. Further development of engineered IL-17RA and its commercialization will increase our chances for obtaining a highly efficient and a more affordable therapeutic approach for psoriasis and potentially for other common autoimmune diseases.

Flexible displays based on organic light emitting diodes are seen as a key innovation in the display industry, allowing novel applications such as bendable or rollable, and thus unbreakable, displays. Rollable displays would also be suitable for roll-to-roll production, a way of dramatically reducing production costs. However, the development of flexible displays has been hampered by the lack of a suitable transistor technology that can be used to address and drive individual OLED pixels. Current technologies all either degrade under mechanical stress or have inadequate performance. Vertical organic transistors, as developed in the ERC project “NuDev”, could address this need and enable a breakthrough in flexible displays. In this project, this new transistor technology will be brought to a proof-of-concept stage, demonstrating the market and innovation potential of vertical organic transistors. To formulate a sound business plan to be presented to venture capitalists and other potential investors, all necessary market information will be gathered. In particular, a detailed comparison of the vertical transistor technology to its competitors will be carried out, necessary steps to market introduction will be detailed, an IP strategy will be developed, and potential customers in the display market will be approached. This information will help to focus the continuing technological development (funded both by NuDev and additional national and industrial funding) and to assess the commercial potential of the technology. By the end of the VIDFLEX project, a decision will have been taken as to whether to commercialize the new technology in a spin-off company or in a co-marketing activity with Novaled.
