A large class of embedded systems has safety, availability, reliability, timing and performance requirements. Timing analysis is needed in many steps of the development process; it is a key to rapid designing and prototyping of embedded systems, to reduce system overall cost through efficient resource management (especially: tradeoffs when co-developing hardware and software), to find bottlenecks in the software, and to validate that the system meets its timing requirements. There is a growing awareness of the importance of correct timing for these systems, however, there is still a lack of efficient methods and tools for timing assessment and validation that can be used in European industry. The existing timing analysis technology by far does not exploit the potential inherent in European research results and timing tools. The ALL-TIMES project aims at combining and developing research results and timing tools currently available and thus to strengthen the European lead in the timing analysis area. The ALL-TIMES project will enable interoperability of tools from SMEs and universities, and develop integrated tool chains using open tool frameworks and interfaces. By combining research results and commercial tools, ALL-TIMES will ensure the flow of ideas from basic research to practice. ALL-TIMES will strengthen the competitiveness of several key industries in Europe, not only the automotive and aerospace areas (where partial awareness already exists) but also automation, manufacturing, robotics, medical, communication, and multimedia, and other market areas where timing is of importance.

The DIPLECS project aims at designing an Artificial Cognitive System architecture that allows for learning and adapting hierarchical perception-action cycles in dynamic and interactive real-world scenarios. The architectural progress will be evaluated within the scenario of a driver assistance system that continuously improves its capabilities by observing the human driver, the car data, and the environment. The system is expected to emulate and predict the behaviour of the driver, to extract and analyse relevant information from the environment, and to predict the future state of the car in relation to its context in the world. Starting from a rudimentary, pre-specified, i.e., man-modelled system, the architecture is expected to successively replace manually modelled knowledge with learned models, thus improving robustness and flexibility. Bootstrapping and learning is applied at all levels, in a dynamic and interactive context. Dynamic and interactive context means that the system needs to react at any time to any relevant event and that the action comprises communication to the human driver or direct car control. The architecture applies a hierarchical design principle, where adjacent levels are connected by feedback-loops that require time for processing. Therefore, the potential reaction becomes more advanced through time, i.e., the system provides nested strategies. A real-time operation requires feed-forward mappings, which use the information learned in feedback operation. The developed methods will be evaluated in three different settings: off-line with data recorded in a real vehicle, online in the real vehicle, and online for a model car. The first setting allows for evaluating methods that take into account the dynamics of the environment, but which are not real-time capable. The second setting allows for testing of passive assistance capabilities by communicating real-time information. The third setting allows for testing of active capabilities.

The objective of this industry-driven multi-disciplinary research proposal is to develop novel and highly innovative technical solutions which will be backward compatible with the existing global broadband wireless access (BWA) standards (IEEE 802.16 and WiMAX) and linked to the specific end-user requirements which will be incorporated into the emerging IEEE 802.16m standard, which aims at defining an air interface that can ensure high mobility (at least 120 km/h), transmit a data rate of over 100 Mbit/s and offer higher performance compared to the current 802.16e standard. Among the main topics to be addressed for the advanced air interface are new MIMO schemes offering higher diversity and multiplexing gains as well as interference cancellation capabilities, advanced synchronization and channel estimation techniques that are compatible with the increased mobility requirement, advanced radio resource allocation schemes involving cross-layer optimisation, as well as cooperation between users and base stations. Research results developed within the framework of this STREP will be used to draft contributions to the IEEE 802.16m working group and influence this future standard. The developed concepts and algorithms will be simulated, prototyped and then integrated into SoCs to be developed by SEQUANS Communications and tested by other industrial partners of the consortium. The implementation plan for the project is based on a hypothetical system called WiMAGIC that embodies a beyond the state of the art (SoA) target BWA system. WiMAGIC serves as a conceptual platform for 1) specifying target system requirements, 2) developing sub-system level beyond the SoA technological solutions, 3) integrating the sub-system solutions for end-to-end simulation, testing and validation of the WiMAGIC design. This chain of activities, from system specification to system design to technology development to system validation, constitutes the object of the WiMAGIC project.

This proposal is aimed at generating new fundamental knowledge and fostering new prospects and frontiers, training and transfer of knowledge in the field of highly efficient, highly selective, supported, recyclable catalysts. Target of the research programme are strongly innovative methodologies for the preparation, recovery and reuse of single-site, multipurpose, nanostructured catalytic materials, and the engineering of reactors based on these catalysts, as this represents an essential part towards the elaboration of sustainable production processes of high-added value fine chemicals. The approach pursued will be the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts, and particularly transition metal complexes, onto preformed (in)soluble supports (heterogenised catalysts). Materials defined at the nanometric level obtained by surface organometallic chemistry will be also included. The focus will be thereupon on their applications on specific, selected reactions. In this project, we plan to use advanced catalyst design to develop catalysts in which the support allows improvements in terms of activity, selectivity, catalyst lifetime and versatility, compared to their homogeneous counterparts. This will be an interdisciplinary, jointly executed research project encompassing complementary, synthetic (inorganic supports, ligands, organometallic compounds, functionalized polymers, dendrimers, nanoparticles), reactivity (homo- and heterogeneous catalyst screening and recycle, product analysis), characterization (advanced techniques for materials and in situ investigations), engineering (continuous-flow / supercritical flow reactors) and modelling activities.

Apple-CORE will develop compilers, operating systems and execution platforms to support and evaluate a novel architecture paradigm that can exploit many-core chips to the end of silicon. It adopts a systematic model of concurrency implemented as instructions in the processors' ISA (developed in the EU FP6 AETHER project). This has enormous potential but is disruptive, as this paradigm shift requires a new infrastructure of tools. The benefits are large, however, as compilers need only capture concurrency in a virtual way rather than capturing, mapping and scheduling it. This separates the concerns of programming and concurrency engineering and opens the door for successful parallelising compilers. Mapping and scheduling is performed dynamically by implementations of the concurrency control instructions in the processors ISA. Another advantage of this approach is its binary compatibility. This means backward compatibility over a base ISA and forward compatibility as compiled code is executable on an arbitrary numbers of processors. Ths compatibility also enables dynamic resource mapping to binary programs from a pool of processors. Particular benefits can be expected for data-parallel and functional programming languages as they expose concurrency in a way that can easily be captured by a compiler. As well as computational benefit the ISA supports the management of partial failure, which provides support for reliable systems. Finally, this approach exposes information about the work to be executed on each processor and how much can be executed at any given time. This information can provide powerful mechanisms for the management of power by load balancing processors based on clock/ frequency scaling. The objective of developing this infrastructure is to evaluate the model and provide opportunities to exploit the results of this research in a variety of markets, including embedded and commodity processors, and also high-performance applications.

New INDIGO is a follow-up of the SSA project AOUDA, which was aimed at mapping and analysing existing bilateral S&T cooperation programmes between European member states and India. In view of its growth and dominant position in Asia, India has been quoted a strategic target country by the European Commission. On the other hand longstanding scientific cooperation between India and certain European countries has been vigorous and fruitful. Despite these facts, there is little multilateral S&T cooperation between the European Union and India, and there is no dedicated program of cooperation between these two big scientific poles. The aim of New INDIGO is to help filling these gaps and ultimately provide the most relevant framework to allow the scientific community and institutions of India to access the European Research Area, and the Euro-Indian S&T cooperation to fully benefit from the new networking tools which have been set up by the European Commission. For this purpose New INDIGO will develop a large database, but also it will set up a two years long Networking Pilot Program (NPP) to be launched at the ERA scale, taking advantage of existing bilateral programs and enhancing existing networks or clusters as well as arousing new ones. The scientific projects will be selected according to a rigorous process, then they will be followed and analysed in order to evaluate the strength and weaknesses of the programme and to pave the way to future integrated programmes of cooperation between Europe and India. To achieve these goals, a consortium composed of 12 European and 3 Indian prominent S&T institutions has been set up. A group of observers will also advise the consortium. The expected outcomes are the promotion of an integrated Europe-India research area, the raising of awareness and networking between European and Indian S&T research, including new member states, and a significant contribution to the elaboration of S&T policies in both Europe and India.

Hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in aquatic ecosystems increase in number, duration and extent due to global warming and eutrophication. Global warming will lead to degassing of oxygen, increased stratification, reduced deep-water circulation and changes in wind patterns affecting transport and mixing. Projected increases in hypoxia (e.g. doubling of “dead zones”) are accompanied by enhanced emission of greenhouse gases, losses in biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services such as fisheries, aquaculture and tourism. A better understanding of global changes in oxygen depletion requires a global observation system continuously monitoring oxygen at high resolution, including assessment of the role of the seafloor in controlling the sensitivity of aquatic systems to and recovery from hypoxia. Here we propose to monitor oxygen depletion and associated processes in aquatic systems that differ in oxygen status or sensitivity towards change: open ocean, oxic with high sensitivity to global warming (Arctic), semi-enclosed with permanent anoxia (Black Sea, Baltic Sea) and seasonally or locally anoxic land-locked systems (fjords, lagoons, lakes) subject to eutrophication. We will improve the capacity to monitor oxygen depletion globally, by implementing reliable long-term sensors to different platforms for in situ monitoring; and locally by training and implementing competence around the Black Sea. Our work will contribute to GEOSS tasks in the water, climate, ecosystem and biodiversity work plans, and comply to GEOSS standards by sharing of observations and products with common standards and adaptation to user needs using a state of the art world data centre. We will connect this project to the GOOS Regional Alliances and the SCOR working group and disseminate our knowledge to local, regional and global organisations concerned with water and ecosystem health and management.

In proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) there are various transport processes strongly affected by catalytic chemical/electrochemical reactions in nano- or/and micro-structured and multi-functional porous electrodes. Due to the complexity of fuel cells, fundamental understanding of physical phenomena continues to be required for the coupled chemical and transport processes with two-phase flow/water management in PEMFCs, and internal reforming reactions/thermal management in SOFCs. The project deals with the coupling of micro scale reactions (such as the electrochemical reactions and catalytic reactions) with various transport phenomena to provide a comprehensive understanding of fuel cell dynamics. The methodology for the project is a combination of model development and integration, simulation/analysis and validation. For microscopically complex porous layers and active sites, submodels will be developed by considering the detailed elementary kinetic rates based on the intermediate chemical species and their reactions occurring on the surface of the involved materials. As the inputs, the obtained data from the microscopic submodels will be implemented by the macroscopic CFD codes, previously developed for various applications, to examine local parameters in the porous electrodes and components. Both macro- and microscopic models will be validated by the experimental and/or literature data during the course of the project. The project will make progress beyond the state-of-the-art in modelling and analysis of advanced fuel cells, such as ultra low Pt loading (<0.1mgPt/cm2) and high temperature (120-200oC) PEMFCs, and intermediate temperature (600-800oC) planar SOFCs.

From the viewpoint of geometric classification, there are two extreme cases of smooth varieties X defined over an algebraically closed field: those which are hyperbolic, and those which are rationally connected. If k is no longer algebraically closed, a central question of Algebraic Arithmetic Geometry is what properties of k force X to have a rational point in those two opposed cases. It is conjectured (Lang-Manin, extended by Kollár), that rationally connected varieties have a rational point over a C1 field. It has been shown for function fields by Graber-Harris-Starr and by myself over a finite field. There is no relation between their geometric proof relying on the geometry of the moduli of punctured curves and my proof relying on motivic analogies between Hodge level and slopes in l-adic cohomology. The study of the case of the maximal unramified extension of the p-adic numbers might provide a bridge through the use of the inertia. Very little is known on Grothendieck's section conjecture, which predicts that sections of the Galois group of k, assumed to be a finite type over Q, into the arithmetic fundamental group of X, are given by rational points. Our hope goes in two directions, arithmetic and geometric on one side, motivic on the other. With Wittenberg, we hope to use Beilinson's geometric description of the nilpotent completion of the fundamental group, and with Levine, we wish to characterize sections of the motivic groups of mixed Tate motives over k and X and relate this to the section conjecture.
