This proposal aims to set up a semantic web solution to close the discovery gap that prevents a full and easy access to environmental resources on the web. The proposal assumes the following: 1. It is meaningless to create yet another standard to facilitate access; we must exploit existing standards; 2. The burden of facilitating access to existing resources cannot be solely delegated to the owner. The user community must play a proactive role. 3. Existing environmental resources shall not require upgrades, re-deployment, re-implementation. The proposed solution must have a low cost and deliver a high impact. The core of the project will thus focus on the development of tools allowing third parties to easily discover environmental resources (data and/or services residing on different information nodes) on the web and to add valuable information in the form of semantic annotations to these resources, thus facilitating future usage and discovery, and kicking off a beneficial cycle of information enrichment. The proposed TaToo framework will be of a generic nature and will allow the integration of semantics, taking into account the challenges of different domain-ontologies in a multi-domain and multilingual context. TaToo provides three complex and extensive validation scenarios and therefore foresees skilled or expert users as the primary target user group. TaToo will encourage external validation of the usability of its framework and tools by scientific communities such as the International Environmental and Modelling Society (iEMSs), the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), and members of the Central and Eastern European Centre for Persistent Organic Pollutants (CEEPOPsCTR). TaToo will positively stimulate the European Economy because environmental resources will become more attractive by accumulating exploitable descriptions which are enhanced by expert users’ information and linked with other knowledge domains.

There is a clear need for an ambitious pan-European approach to speed up the development of major technologies, by undertaking at the Community level large research actions taking into account National and Regional strategic R&amp;D priorities. In the field of the Embedded Systems, ARTEMIS ETP has paved the way, but the ambition to align the research agendas drawn by the various European National/Regional Authorities is still to be achieved. ARCADIA has the right involvement of the National/Regional Authorities to reach its major objective of advancing the European Research Area in Embedded Systems field. It builds on solid grounds, establishing effective links to COSINE 2 project and to ERA-Net projects to benefit from its work done so far. ARCADIA will proceed through a roadmap-based-strategy plan which includes market trends &amp; drivers, mapped technologies, application needs and application capabilities, research challenges, needed skills, and future research targets within the main industrial sectors Transport Air /Road, Nomadic Devices, Infrastructure and Health. ARCADIA will leverage on its deep connexions within the ArtistDesign NoE, to promote structured synergy with the European research community. It will proceed through a two-step approach in order to contribute in the building of an updated version of the ARTEMIS Strategic Research Agenda that is more inclusive of new research challenges and objectives to align efforts of European actors on the European national and regional levels. ARCADIA also deploys an inclusive communication means to involve the EU-wide Embedded Systems Community, and also world-wide. ARCADIA aims to achieve effective coordination and synergy of resources and funding from the Framework Programme, industry, national R&amp;D programmes and intergovernmental R&amp;D schemes (EUREKA), thus contributing to strengthening Europe&apos;s position in this major technology domain.

Cerebral vascular accident (CVA, Stroke) is the most prevalent neurological condition leading to physical impairment in Western society. About 4.7 million stroke survivors are alive today. Impaired walking ability contributes to post-stroke walking disability. Walking incorrectly creates a stigma and makes patients more susceptible to injury, affecting quality of life. Most promising interventions to restore walking function are based on robotic systems that intend to restore function by focusing on actions at periphery of the body (a BOTTOM-UP approach). It is not clear how effective these treatments are and a major problem is non-compliance or non-adherence to the therapy. The main objective of the project is to improve physical rehabilitation therapies of gait disorders in stroke patients based on Brain-Neural Computer Interaction (BNCI) assistive technologies, improving systems, providing guidelines for further improvements, and developing benchmarking tools. The project will validate, technically, functionally and clinically, the concept of improving stroke rehabilitation with robotic exoskeletons based on a TOP-DOWN approach: motor patterns of the limbs are represented in the cortex, transmitted to the limbs and fed back to the cortex: -The system will provide means to assess patient adherence to therapy through a multimodal BNCI. -The proposed BNCI will combine multiple levels of neural information with the resulting motion (biomechanical) data. -It will determine if training the activation of signals that control lower limb tasks in combination with robotics devices is beneficial for restoring lower limb function. -BETTER will provide means for objective evaluation of the BNCI-based physical rehabilitation therapy and its usability and acceptability. BETTER proposes a multimodal BNCI which main goal is to explore the representations in the cortex, characterize the user involvement and modify the intervention at the periphery with ambulatory and non-ambulator

Clinical trials are increasingly considered to be not only a means for evaluating the effectiveness of new medicine and pharmaceutical formulas but also for experimenting on existing drugs and their appliance to new diseases and disorders. Pharmaceutical companies tend to prefer launching modified versions of existing drugs, which generate generous profits while carrying little risk of rejection. Translation into clinical therapy has to overcome substantial barriers at the preclinical and clinical levels. Thus, bridging basic science to clinical practice comprises a new scientific challenge which can result in successful clinical applications with low financial cost. In the aforementioned context, the results yielding from clinical trials, which are testing the effectiveness of existing drugs and pharmaceutical formulas on diseases other than the ones they are currently treating, are closely dependent on the available data and the patients. The efficacy of such trials requires the pursuit of a number of aspects that need to be addressed ranging from the aggregation of data from various heterogeneous distributed sources (such as electronic health records - EHRs) to the intelligent processing of this data based on the clinical trial-specific requirements for choosing the appropriate patients eligible for recruitment. Within this framework, PONTE aims at providing a platform following a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach that will offer intelligent automatic identification of individuals eligible (concerning their safety and clinical trial efficacy) to participate in clinical trials, as these will be designed and planned through a flexible authoring tool, enabling semantic interoperability of clinical care information systems with clinical research information systems and drug and disease knowledge databases, as well as the appliance of advanced data mining techniques and enhanced learning algorithms.

The topic of audio-visual speech processing has attracted significant interest over the past 15 years. Relevant research has been focusing on recruiting visual speech information, extracted from the speaker&apos;s mouth region, as a means to improve robustness of traditional, unimodal, acoustic-only based speech processing. Nevertheless, to-date, most work has been limited to ideal-case scenarios, where the visual data are of high-quality, typically of steady frontal head pose, high resolution, and uniform lighting, while the audio signal contains speech by a single subject, in most cases artificially contaminated by noise in order to demonstrate significant improvements in speech system performance. Obviously, these conditions remain far from unconstrained, multi-party human interaction, thus, not surprisingly, practical audio-visual speech systems have yet to be deployed in real life. In this proposal, we aim to work towards expanding the state-of-the-art from the ideal “toy” examples to realistic human-computer interaction in difficult environments like the office, the automobile, broadcast news, and during meetings. Successful audio-visual speech processing there requires progress beyond the state-of-the-art in processing and robust extraction of visual speech information, as well as its efficient fusion with the acoustic modality, due to the varying quality of the extracted stream information. We propose to study a number of speech technologies in such environments (e.g., speech recognition, activity detection, diarization, separation), which stand to benefit from multimodality. The envisaged work will span 42 months of activity, and is planned as a natural evolution of research efforts of the candidate, Dr. Gerasimos Potamianos, while at AT&amp;T Labs and IBM Research in the US, to be conducted jointly with the host organization, the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National Center of Scientific Research, &quot;Demokritos&quot;, in Athens, Greece.

The ATENEA project aims to integrate the deeply integrated GNSS/INS receiver architectures and LIDAR techniques to provide an advanced navigation solution for a wide range of surveying applications in difficult environments. LIDAR devices geolocation and reference for the scanned observables is provided nowadays by loosely coupled GPS receivers and INS, leading to lack of performance in urban scenarios with poor satellite visibility and harsh multipath conditions. The following technologies will be studied within ATENEA to overcome these problems § Multi-constellation GPS/Galileo/EGNOS Increasing availability and continuity. Availability of EGNOS ephemeris and corrections will also reduce position errors and Time-To-First-Fix. § Deeply coupled GNSS/INS receiver design Current state-of-the-art of hybridisation applications will be improved with ultra-tight integration of the inertial sensors, navigation processor and signal processing tracking loops, adding additional robustness under high user dynamics, and allowing for fast mapping applications. § GNSS Phase receiver, exploitation Galileo signals capabilities Error in the pseudorange observables will be reduced as must as possible, using dedicated multipath and interference mitigation techniques and taking benefit of the new Galileo L1 MBOC and E5 AltBOC signals, to allow a fast carrier-phase ambiguity resolution. § Integrated GNSS/INS/LIDAR navigation filter. Finally, an innovative unique integrated navigation solution for the integration of observables from GNSS, IMU, and laser sensors is proposed, allowing to reduce the costs of the current expensive LIDAR devices for precise laser scanning. The different algorithms will be developed and tested in a SW environment (based on the GRANADA simulator and the IADIRA test-bench). A field data collection campaign with real data (in post-processing) will also be carried out, using EGNOS and Galileo early signals.

ASPHALT offers high precision applications in road construction and fleet management and logistics in the construction just-in-time process chain. Thus, the ASPHALT applications are considered of strategic importance and are expected to be early adopters of both EGNOS and Galileo in an important professional high value market where European Union and Member States are spending billions of Euros every year. Thus, ASPHALT addresses both call topics in particular fleet management and logistics applications and high precision applications in road construction. Today’s asphalt road construction relies to a great deal on the experience of the construction worker, to optimally manage the truck fleets, to operate the paver, and to steer the compactor. Any sub-optimal operation within this chain may lead to a reduction in road quality, what results in reconstruction or decreased life time – both cost-intensive. Constant monitoring and control of parameters is significant for the quality and durability of the road. The decisive factor is to explore the process chain and with the intensive use of positioning data, evaluate the possibilities of improving each sub-process responsible for the road quality. By the removal or reduction of these quality influencing issues the lifespan of the road buildings should be significant increased. Especially the cost reduction of the road maintenance measurements should be a secondary effect in this project next to the products exploitation goals. Over 90% of the total road network has an asphalt surface and the product is 100% recyclable. There are over 4,000 production sites in Europe and over 10,000 companies are involved in production and/or laying of the asphalt. 90% of the companies can be classified as Small and Medium sized Enterprises. With the introduction of the ASPHALT applications adoption of EGNOS/EDAS and EU GNSS industry competitiveness will be stimulated and markets for Galileo introduction will be prepared.

Russia is one of a few countries in the world to have in depth knowledge and capabilities spanning research, design and production of microelectronics and integrated circuits. Despite these strengths, there were no Russian semiconductor organisations participating in FP6 IST. Meanwhile, EU faces challenges in addressing the research priorities for semiconductor design methods and tools identified in the FP7 ICT WP and ENIAC SRA. This situation offers a favourable opportunity for strategic collaboration in semiconductor design between Russia and EU Consequently, the main aim of the SEMIDEC project is to increase cooperation in developing semiconductor design methods and tools between the two regions. SEMIDEC will achieve its overall aim via a range of activities implemented over 24 months: 1) Assessment of the semiconductor design collaboration potential. This involves mapping Russian semiconductor organisations involved in research relevant to the EU’s priorities concerning semiconductor design methods, tools and standardisation. It also involves producing a “Report on organisations and research on semiconductor design methods and tools in Russia”; 2) Organisation of combined awareness-raising/training/networking events in Russia about semiconductor design calls from FP7 ICT WP. Inviting key EU semiconductor organisations to attend who are open to collaboration with Russian counterparts. Also, inviting Russian experts to attend key semiconductor events in EU and examining potential for Russia to participate in ENIAC. Also, producing a good practice guide to participation in FP7 semiconductor components/electronic system projects in Russian; and 3) Provide ‘hands-on’ support services to competent Russian semiconductor organisations to build long-term relationships with key EU counterparts. Central to this will be i) support to joining EU consortia preparing FP7 ICT proposals and ii) support to Russian researchers to make secondments at EU organisations.
