The ARTISAN project envisions significant reductions (at least 10%) in energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the European Textile Industry by integrating data-capturing technologies, process-based energy measurement and real-time optimization of operations. It will provide enterprise management systems with services for monitoring and operational decision making, available at each supply chain partner, and, additionally, trading services for energy and carbon permits forging collaboration across supply networks. Relying on a service-oriented architecture and data capturing through sensors and energy metering devices, expected achievements and technologies to be used of ARTISAN include: - an information infrastructure, enabled by AUTO ID, WSN or other hardware components, for efficient capture, storage and communication of energy consumption data; - energy performance indicator structures and services for the textile industry; - services monitoring, reporting and analyzing energy performance per process; - real-time optimization algorithms for planning and scheduling of supply chain processes and enterprise operations in terms of cost reductions and minimum consumption of energy; - tools for evaluating overall energy efficiency based on productivity assessment of processes and implicitly of products; - intra- and inter-organisational services for energy consumption forecast and trade of energy and CO2; - a layered architecture interconnecting the modules in a seamless way, enabling interoperability both internally and among supply chain partners. Field trials based on representative use-cases drawn from the European textile industry will demonstrate the functionality of the modules and the interconnections in a real context. Hence, each company is encouraged to become an ARTISAN in energy management, but mostly an ARTISAN in decisions based on energy and environmental indicators in both its day-to-day operations and business partnerships.

The overarching objective of the DECIPHER Project is to enable secure cross-border mobile access to existing patient healthcare portals which are individually supported by national (governmental) bodies. DECIPHER will deploy Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) to create step-change innovations in mobile patient ICTs. Using electronic patient records as the key enabling technology, this joint PCP will create technology-led service transformation in cross-border mobile healthcare, delivering significant benefits to patients and healthcare organisations. The Consortium consists of three leading commissioning authorities: ESTAV Centro (Italy), TicSalut (Spain/Catalonia) and CMFT (UK). A single, joint PCP activity will be issued. Suppliers will be challenged to build on outputs from epSOS, CALLIOPE, and LOD2, and advances in mobile technology. Experts from Greece, France, Finland, UK, Sweden and Ireland will provide support. DECIPHER will generate a portfolio of interoperable applications, deployed on a pan-European platform. This resource will improve existing healthcare services by supporting mobility of patients and healthcare providers. From anywhere in the EU, a patient will be able to use a secure mobile device safely to gain 24/7 access to their prescription data, emergency data, examination results and other health information. To take this opportunity forward, the Consortium has put in place a well-defined Programme Plan. When implemented, the plan will: 1) mobilise the Consortium partners; 2) engage citizens, healthcare professionals, and industry; 3) leverage currently unconnected assets to create new and transformational innovations; 4) deliver step-change improvements to public services; and, 5) contribute to job and wealth creation in Europe. A detailed Dissemination Plan is in place to ensure key stakeholders (e.g. industry, PCP policy and commissioning authorities) are informed and encouraged to engage with DECIPHER. *************************************************************** Project periods and milestones are updated taking as a fact that the project suspension duration is 12 months ***************************************************************’

Large scale embedded Monitoring and Control (M&C) systems in energy management, transporta-tion, security and safety often co-exist alongside each other with little cooperation within and among heterogeneous systems which hampers the increasing demand to operate the whole system optimally. A good example is building management, a market worth in excess of $36 billion annually by 2015, where a wide range of vendor specific, heterogeneous M&C systems for HVAC, access control, fire and safety, etc. are in use. This “stove pipe” system approach limits optimal solutions to energy-efficiency, occupant comfort, or fire safety, especially as most systems need to evolve over time and have to deal with unexpected or unpredictable dynamics such as fire. SCUBA will create a novel architecture, services, and engineering methodologies for robust, adaptive, self-organising, and cooperating monitoring and control systems to address the current problems of heterogeneity and interoperability, installation and commissioning complexity, and adaptability and robustness in the building monitoring and control space. SCUBA will develop semantic models for devices, systems and building management applications and will contribute to their standardisation to improve interoperability. SCUBA will provide a proof of concept of this approach by demonstrating how self-organisation will lead to simpler engineering, commissioning, and maintenance and how cooperation among heterogeneous, multi-vendor building monitoring and control systems will make the system more adaptive and robust in real building management applications. SCUBA addresses the challenges of the call including development of systems capable of dealing with complex, distributed and/or uncertain dynamics, development of self-organising, monitoring and control systems, providing methods for adjusting to/ recovering from failures, and standardisation of configuration interfaces and exchange platforms.

Longer life expectancies and low birth rates together impacts on the demographics of the workforce. The proportion of 50- to 64-year-olds in the workforce will be double in size compared to workers younger than 25 years (35 versus 17%) in the EU15 (the first 15 European countries to join the union) by the year 2025. Several EU15 countries will face this challenge by 2010 and the situation is expected to last for decades. The new member states of the EU do not ease the greying picture, rather the opposite and immigration will only be a minor solution to the problem. A marked paradox exists between a longer life and a shorter working life. More healthy years will be spent in retirement than in work. So, the problem is not higher life expectancies but earlier retirement. Improved health and technological advances make it possible to extend work life beyond age 65 extending independence, productivity and quality of life. Ageing–related technological innovations can help ageing to stay at work and they fall into four technological categories: • enabling technologies (which assist people to “age in place”) • operational technologies (which assist aging people to function in society) • connective technologies (which assist aging people to communicate with caregivers, families and medical resources and vice versa) • telemedicine (which allows a medical source or caregiver to monitor, diagnose and/or treat patients from a distance). According the above concepts GOLDENWORKERS’s main objectives are: • Develop an RTD roadmap for active aging at work • Create a set of realistic scenarios, based on the socioeconomic conditions that are present in the different regions of EU27 • Validate scenarios and existing gaps with stakeholders • Identify shared RTD roadmap (among Industry, SMEs, research and academia) and concrete recommendations for covering the identified gaps and achieving the more agreed scenarios • Create expert communities of IT industry and SME representatives for knowledge sharing and for designing a common RTD strategy

BEMO-COFRA aims to develop an innovative distributed framework allowing networked monitoring and control of large-scale complex systems to achieve overall systems’ efficiency with respect to energy and raw materials and support holistic management. BEMO-COFRA reuses the results of the well-reputed Hydra, Pobicos and ebbits EU projects featuring a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and a middleware to integrate in the same framework smart WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network) objects, legacy devices and sub-systems by means of web services. WSAN devices and legacy sub-systems/devices coexisting in the overall monitoring and control framework will be able to interact and cooperate thanks to syntactic and semantic interoperability and will be orchestrated by a distributed logic. The BEMO-COFRA framework supports large-scale networks of smart objects provided with sensing/actuating capabilities and adopting heterogeneous wireless communication technologies (such as WiFi, BlueTooth, IEEE 802.15.4-based technologies) in order to meet a wide range of monitoring and control requirements in terms of data throughput, quasi- or real-time constraints, etc. These WSAN developed by BEMO-COFRA feature flexibility, reliability, availability and manageability characteristics that are of paramount importance to support dependable operations in harsh environments. The BEMO-COFRA framework will be deployed in a manufacturing plant - where system dependability is of utmost importance and the environment is harsh – to provide accurate monitoring and control of real-time production processes involving a large number of systems and devices. The BEMO-COFRA consortium consists of 9 organisations from 6 different countries (Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy and Brazil), representing a wide taste of Europe in terms of population and economic power and a very powerful Brazilian cluster of research and Industry.

Early detection and adaptive support to changing individual needs related to ageing is an important challenge in today society. The Giraff+ project aims at developing a system that addresses such a challenge. The system consists of a network of home sensors that measure e.g. blood pressure or temperature, or detect e.g. whether somebody occupies a chair, falls down or moves inside a room. The data from these sensors are interpreted by an intelligent system in terms of activities, e.g. the person is going to bed, and health and wellbeing, e.g. the person is tired or well rested. These activities can then trigger alarms or reminders to the person or his/her caregivers, or be analysed over time by a health professional. The system should automatically adapt to perform specific services such as checking the person’s sleeping patterns. There is also a telepresence robot, the Giraff, which can be moved around in the home by somebody connected to it over internet, e.g. a caregiver. The Giraff is effectively a mobile communication platform, equipped with video camera and display, and microphone and speakers, and it helps the user to maintain his/her social contacts. Particular emphasis is put on user evaluation outside the laboratories. The Giraff+ system will be installed and evaluated in at least 15 homes of elderly people distributed in three European countries (Sweden, Italy and Spain). These evaluations will drive the development of the system. The concept of “useworthiness” will be central in order to assure that the Giraff+ system provides services that are easy and worth using. In addition, by using existing and affordable components (besides the Giraff robot also sensors from two participating companies: Tunstall and IntelliCare) we strive to achieve a system that is affordable and close to commercialization.

The increase in average lifespan across the world has been accompanied by an unprecedented upsurge in the occurrence of dementia with high socio-economic costs. The development of personal health systems provides a means of dealing with such problems in a meaningful and sustainable manner, enabling persons with dementia to maintain independence and inclusion in society, while improving their quality of life and the effectiveness of their caregivers. Multi-parametric monitoring of daily activities, lifestyle, behaviour, in combination with medical data, provides clinicians a comprehensive image of the person’s condition and its progression, without their being physically present, allowing remote care of their condition. The objective of Dem@Care is the development of a complete system providing personal health services to people with dementia, as well as medical professionals and caregivers, by using a multitude of sensors, for context-aware, multi-parametric monitoring of lifestyle, ambient environment, and health parameters. Multi-sensor data analysis, combined with intelligent decision making mechanisms, will allow an accurate representation of the person’s current status and will provide the appropriate feedback, both to the person and the associated caregivers, enhancing the standard clinical workflow. Many research challenges will arise, ranging from data collection and analysis to integration, interpretation and feedback. Aggregation of information from complementary sources will be a critical aspect of multi-sensor processing that will be addressed, along with the advance of knowledge and data management methodologies, for scalable and meaningful interpretation of the person’s condition. The data will be analysed and interpreted in conjunction with established or newly created medical knowledge, for the production of shared patient-doctor decision support systems. Appropriate user-friendly interfaces will be developed, facilitating the rapid incorporation of the proposed system in the users’ lives.

A major challenge in computing is to leverage multi-core technologies to enable the development of energy-efficient high performance systems. This is especially critical for embedded systems which have very limited energy budget as well as for supercomputers in respect to sustainability. But, efficient programming of multi-core architectures, moving towards manycores with more than a thousand cores predicted by 2020, remains an unresolved issue. The FlexTiles project will define and develop an energy-efficient and programmable heterogeneous manycore platform (THALES, CSEM, CEA) with self-adaptive capabilities, based on the following innovations: • Energy-efficiency, performance and flexibility provided by a reconfigurable layer linked to the manycore and enabling the dynamic instantiation of dedicated accelerators (UR1). • Power consumption, load balancing, dynamic mapping and resilience to faulty modules managed through self-adaptation features (KIT). • Virtualised executable codes enabling dynamic relocation of configuration (TUE) and bitstreams respectively on standard processor and network on chip and on reconfigurable layer (UR1). • A virtualisation layer monitoring the system and optimising the application mapping for load balancing, power consumption and faults tolerance (KIT, TUE). • Parallelisation and compilation tools improvement to take into account the mixture of static and dynamic behaviours (ACE, THALES). FlexTiles proposed final platform will be validated on two main applications (smart camera, cognitive radio) of the targeted embedded technology market (THALES, SUNDANCE). FlexTiles achieved new type of manycore will also benefit from other markets and applications’ domains opportunities (e.g. automotive, autonomous systems, medical imaging systems, supercomputers), where there is a combined need for energy-efficiency, performance and interactivity, while guaranteeing short time to market.

Autonomous robots are not very good at being autonomous. Operating in real environments, they easily get stuck, often ask for help, and generally succeed only when attempting simple tasks in well-known situations. PANDORA is a three year project that will develop and evaluate new computational methods to make human-built robots Persistently Autonomous, significantly reducing the frequency of assistance requests. The key to this is an ability to recognise failure and respond to it, at all levels of abstraction and time constant.Three themes for this will be explored, working synergistically together A. DESCRIBING THE WORLD will develop new probabilistic semantic representations of the environment and the state of task execution, driven by feature based localisation and world model update from sensors, and by focus of attention mechanisms. This will detect failure of task execution and its context. B. DIRECTING AND ADAPTING INTENTIONS will investigate planning and plan adaption under resource constraint and uncertainty in response to goals and the changing world above. This will enable the robot to respond strategically to action failure(s) C. ACTING ROBUSTLY will investigate the interface between re-enforcement/imitation learning methods and robust control to make action execution indifferent to unwanted motion of target or self. Following the Deep Water Horizon oilfield disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, contractors are developing hover capable autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for subsea inspection and intervention. PANDORA’s key goal will be to make such vehicles more Persistently Autonomous. Under the guidance of major industrial players, validation tasks of Inspection, cleaning and valve turning will be trialled with partners’ AUVs in Scotland and Spain. To focus theoretical developments and partner interactions, an agile approach to system integration will be employed, opportunistically capturing new developments from the three themes above into more capable prototypes.
