TURBINE is a multi-disciplinary privacy enhancing technology, combining innovative developments in cryptography and fingerprint biometrics. It aims at providing highly reliable biometric 1:1 verifications, multi-vendor interoperability, and system security, while solving major issues related to privacy concerns associated to the use of biometrics for ID management. Its primary objective is to render this innovation commercially viable by demonstrating that the technology is sufficiently mature for deployment as a solution to large scale eID requirements. To achieve this it will develop and evaluate the foundation and application of revocable protected biometric templates and pseudo-identities using fingerprint data. Use of different biometric enrolment algorithm transformations and hence subsequent verification mechanisms will be evaluated against public and private fingerprint databases. Specific objectives will be to ensure that the crypto-protection deployed on the biometric data is non-invertible and has the lowest possible impact on biometric verification performance. Project results will be assessed using very large fingerprint data bases held by two project partners to compare performances with and without crypto-protection. Expert groups will be included in the project to advise the consortium on i) data protection and privacy issues and ii) requirements of key application sectors for eID management solutions. Furthermore, a comprehensive verification test and demonstration environment will evaluate how single fingerprint data of an individual may be used to generate several secure identities with different levels of trust. It will include revocation and issuance of an equivalent re-generated biometric identity based on the same specific fingerprint data without weakening the overall security. The practical demonstration will be in an airport security application area and involve trusted smart card tokens under the control of the end-user.

Networks require greater degree of service-awareness. This implies that not only are all digital items pertaining to a service delivered, but also all relevant business goals are fulfilled, and network resources are used optimally. As a consequence the network’s complexity grows with service abundance placing new requirements on network control and management as well as on Internet network resource usage. Autonomic Internet (AutoI) aspires to be such a solution. It will design and develop a self-managing virtual resource overlay that can span across heterogeneous networks, support service mobility, quality of service and reliability. The overlay will self-manage based on the business-driven service goals changes (service context) and resource environment changes (resource context). Accordingly, AutoI, suggests a transition from a service agnostic Internet to service-aware network resources by means of Virtualising network resources and Policy-Based Management techniques to describe and control the internal service logic, utilising Ontology-based information and data models to facilitate the Internet service deployment in terms of programmable networks facilities supporting NGN. Finally, aiming at the unification in autonomics, AutoI is aligned with the international standard group Autonomic Communications Forum (ACF) objectives, which will provide AutoI the platform for transforming results into standards.

Project Context Casting (C-Cast) main objective is to evolve mobile multimedia multicasting to exploit the increasing integration of mobile devices with our everyday physical world and environment. The key motivation for this project and why we believe Europe needs a project on Context Casting is because multicasting is the key enabler that will make mobile context aware services commercially attractive. Use of mobile multicast communication especially for multimedia content has always been a very attractive proposition. There will be many situations when a multicast or broadcast will be a much more affective and appropriate form of communication service but the majority are dynamic, situation specific and consequently great service opportunities are lost. C-Cast is based on two main competence areas: creation of context awareness and multicasting technologies. Context information defines groups that demand the same information or service. These services are delivered efficiently by multicasting bearers. The project will research, investigate and define ways to use the situation/environment of a user (a mobile device) to initiate group communication. This environment mediated multicast may be triggered by an event or something in the physical environment offering a situation or context orientated service. C-Cast will provide an end-to-end context-aware communication framework specifically for intelligent multicast-broadcast services. It addresses three key issues o Development of context and group management service enablers for context representation, context assisted group management and context reasoning. o Definition of a framework to collect sensor data, distribute context information and manage efficiently context aware multiparty and multicast transport. o Development of mechanisms for autonomous context driven content creation, adaptation and media delivery.

The CopPeR project will provide a novel copper deposition process based on the use of non-aqueous solvents to overcome the limitations of currently employed interconnect formation processes enabling device scaling beyond the 32 nm technology node. This non-aqueous process will open novel routes to implement direct on barrier plating, focussing on tantalum and ruthenium as diffusion barriers. As another main advantage the process developed and implemented within the CopPeR project will significantly improve the quality of the Cu metallization due to the fact that more space is available in trenches for high quality, low resistivity Cu, due to the fact that the resistivity limiting seed-Cu will be eliminated and thinner barrier films can be applied, e.g. by ALD (atomic layer deposition). CopPeR will achieve the final goal through collaborations within a very strong consortium based on a team with outstanding scientific, engineering and manufacturing qualifications. In a first phase, electrolyte ingredients will be selected and experimentally verified, a deposition cell designed through modelling and simulation as well as new analytical techniques evaluated to enable adequate analysis of the deposited films. The second phase will focus on the development of the copper deposition process based on the findings from phase one with the additional support of micro-modelling and the process scaled and integrated into a 300mm proof-of-concept. In the third and final phase, the process will be integrated into a complete interconnect scheme, and optimized according to the industrial chip manufacturer's needs.

The ongoing transformation of a product-oriented economy towards a service-oriented economy has come to a critical point. IT-supported service provisioning is of major relevance in all industries and domains. However, the nature of these setups is typically quite static because it requires significant effort to create service offers, to negotiate provisioning details with customers and to manage and control provided services. The research project SLA@SOI will provide a major milestone for the further evolution towards a service-oriented economy, where IT-based services can be flexibly traded as economic good, i.e. under well defined and dependable conditions and with clearly associated costs. Eventually, this will allow for dynamic value networks that can be flexibly instantiated thus driving innovation and competitiveness The technical approach of SLA@SOI is to define a holistic view for the management of service level agreements (SLAs) and to implement an SLA management framework that can be easily integrated into a service-oriented infrastructure (SOI). The main innovative features of the project are (1) an automated e-contracting framework, (2) systematic grounding of SLAs from the business level down to the infrastructure, (3) exploitation of virtualization technologies at infrastructure level for SLA enforcement, and (4) advanced engineering methodologies for creation of predictable and manageable services. SLA@SOI will provide its results in 2 complementing ways. First, an open source based SLA management framework will allow for realizing the benefits of predictability, transparency and automation in an arbitrary service-oriented infrastructure. Second, in-depth guidance for industrial stakeholders will be given explaining the best practise on how to transform their service business into an SLA-driven one. SLA@SOI comprises representative world-class players in academia and industry required for materializing the vision of this ambitious project.

VIACARBON aims to develop carbon nanotubes for vertical and horizontal interconnects for CMOS nodes of 22 nm and beyond, and for NEMS RF switches. Carbon nanotubes are universally proposed as interconnects because of their huge current carrying capacity of 1E9 A/cm2. However, interconnects also need a low resistance, at least as low as copper. As CNTs are 1-dimensional conductors, they have a minimum quantum resistance of 6 kohms, which can only be reduced by laying many CNTs in parallel. The project aims to grow single wall nanotube mats with density of over 1E13 cm-2, by optimisation of the growth catalyst, and convert this into an industrially compatible technology for both vertical and horizontal interconnects. A second aspect is to fabricate arrays of NEMs as RF switches to support new device functions in the interconnect layer: for reconfigurable interconnects, banks of programmable passives and power current switch.

European rural areas are undergoing major changes, including the impacts of migration, changes in settlement patterns, demographic ageing, changes in the nature of rural-urban interactions, a decreasing role of agriculture in terms of income and employment, and changes in governance systems. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the main expenditure chapter of the EU and is directly affecting the economy of rural areas. Assessing the impact of the CAP will help in re-addressing the CAP in the wider framework of EU policy objectives. The objective of the project CAP-IRE is to develop concepts and tools to support future CAP design, based on an improved understanding of long term socio-economic mechanisms of change in rural areas. Concepts and tools will be developed, shaped by state of art literature and a wide empirical testing. Coverage includes case study regions in 9 countries of the EU. The focus will be farm households as the reference agents in the connection between policy and socio-economic change, as well as between agriculture and other sectors of the economy. Account of the wider non-EU and non-rural scenarios will be taken. The first step of the project will be to devise concepts and tools able to fill the gaps in present knowledge on development in rural areas. In the second step, these concepts and tools will be applied in an empirical analysis of mechanisms of change in selected case study areas. In a third step, tools will be used to assess the impact of CAP in the selected areas. Expected results concern: an improved conceptual view of CAP relationships in the context of changing rural areas and a framework to assess reciprocal impacts between CAP and other drivers of change in a long term perspective; models and tools to assess changes in rural areas, with particular attention to the connection between CAP and other drivers; an assessment of present dynamics of change, including impacts of CAP in the selected case study areas.

The aim of the project is to investigate and initiate complementary new approaches to digital preservation. The rapidly growing volume of digital information is causing data transfer from active IT systems to digital repositories at an increasing pace. This makes it necessary to find new levels of automation and self-reliance in preservation solutions. The diversity in sizes and complexity among new digital resources imply that the repository systems must be highly adaptable to various types of input, storage and access. The PROTAGE solution is to link digital objects to long-term digital preservation processes by using agent-based software technology. Based on the latest research on digital preservation strategies and on autonomous systems, the PROTAGE project will build and validate flexible and extensible software agents for long-term digital preservation and access that can cooperate with and be integrated in existing and new preservation systems. Intended application areas for prototypes produced by the PROTAGE project cover submission of digital material as well as monitoring of preservation systems and transfer between repositories. Tools developed by the PROTAGE project will: - allow content producers to create and publish in a preservation-compatible manner, - provide digital repositories with means of further automating the preservation processes, - facilitate seamless interoperation between content providers, libraries and archives, and end-users throughout Europe. Targeted end users are curators and digital content creators including individuals managing their own digital collections. PROTAGE will use archive and library materials from the project partners for system and user tests and external stakeholders in further validation. The Swedish Centre of Competence for Long-term Preservation will ensure availability of results to a wider community of memory institutions. The industrial partners will use the results to develop commercial solutions.
