Advanced information communications technology (ICT) has created an expectation that the innovative use of ICT can deliver high quality healthcare to a situation where patients’ data can be supplied seamlessly to support clinical decisions. The world however has moved beyond the current reactive model and hamstrung by the problems of fragmentation and lack of coordination. Medical images are of a typical example. While picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) have come closely to be a universal tool in managing medical images, they only work for radiology images and are searchable by using text descriptions. With the rapidly growing of image volumes, obtaining a relevant datum using only key words is like finding a needle in a haystack. On the other hand, with each clinical centre specialises in different domains, medical images collected are fragmented and of many forms. To this end, this project will catalyse a series of collaborations between Europe and China that has significant number of distributed databases, built on the achievements and impetus gained by the TIME project funded by EU Asia-ICT programme, to explore the breadth of medical imaging innovations by building in inter-disciplinarity, aiming at knowledge transfer to keep abreast of new developments and applications in the field, while fertilising each other’s research, especially between young and experienced researchers and between different disciplines. The key output of the project is a roadmap of the development of future sustainable and flexible data management systems in the digital (paper-less) global hospital. This project is consisted of a series of programmes including staff exchange, know-how transfer, sharing and learning workshops and online participation, by including institutions of 6 European and 5 Chinese with participating personnel of 41. Among them, seven are females and twenty-three are young researchers who are at their early stage of careers.

The late stages in the evolution of intermediate-mass stars (Asymptotic Giant Branch - AGB and post-AGB) are of the greatest importance for the chemical evolution of galaxies. Pulsations, dust formation, and mass loss through massive stellar winds are characteristic phenomena of AGB stars. Stellar pulsations cause waves, which travel into the outer layers of the atmosphere and develop shocks, compressing matter to such a high density that dust formation occurs and mass loss is triggered. However, the nature of the mass loss is still not well understood. The chemistry of gas and dust lost by AGB stars depends heavily on dredge-up processes that bring the products of stellar nucleosynthesis to the stellar surface. The ejected material, enriched in heavy elements, is later incorporated into new generations of stars and planets. We propose a comprehensive study of the physical properties of evolved stars, their atmospheres and environments. Radial velocities and brightness variations will be monitored for selected stars and a time series of high resolution spectra in the optical region will be obtained to better understand the dynamical phenomena and abundance transformations in the stellar atmospheres. Comprehensive modeling of photospheric and circumstellar chemistry, radiative transfer in molecular lines, and self-consistent treatment of hydrodynamics and chemistry will be carried out. The unique capabilities of the Herschel Space observatory will be used to probe the inner regions of circumstellar envelopes around evolved stars. We plan to expand the existing Torun catalogue of Galactic post-AGB and related objects and create a new catalogue for post-AGB objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These will facilitate research on unsolved problems of stellar evolution, such as the mechanism that triggers the departure from AGB to post-AGB and post-AGB evolution in environments with different metallicities and will be available to the entire community.

Offshore wind farm health monitoring and maintenance are major challenges for renewable energy generation due to large scale, high cost and extreme environments. The development of faults in the tower or blades can cause serious secondary damage to the whole wind turbine system if prompt repair action is not taken and can lead to catastrophic failure. Although numerous techniques are being developed worldwide to monitor changes in specific parts of structure, the wide variety of materials and techniques involved means that skills and expertise are disparate and disconnected. For this new interdisciplinary area, this project will bring well recognised scientific institutions and researchers with complementary research experience and skills together, in the context of a collaborative scheme of research exchanges and networking. The proposed project is endorsed by 5 institutions, 2 EU partners and research groups in China and India, agreeing for a common exchange program built around the work packages to develop methods, models, systems and ICT tools for health monitoring and maintenance of offshore wind turbines. The members of the project consortium will provide complementary knowledge and strengths, as they have all carried out leading research in the area of non-destructive evaluation, structural health monitoring, communications and networks, information management, etc. The complementary capabilities have been drawn out in accordance with a joint research vision, commonly shared by the partners at the moment of writing the proposal. The project will consist of targeted research project undertaken by key individual researchers, supplemented and supported by PhD students, researchers and professors. The exchanges will enable the reciprocal transfer of knowledge between the members of the consortium and will be deployed by a set of various activities (visits, training in laboratories, lectures, workshops, seminars) open also to external stakeholders.

The goal of this project is to reinforce an existing collaboration between three European research groups and two Third country groups in the field of structure preserving numerical methods and highly oscillatory problems. The Third country partners are the La Trobe University, Melbourne Australia and Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. The European beneficiaries are two Norwegian universities (NTNU, Trondheim and University of Bergen) and the University of Cambridge, UK. The main objective of our research is to develop numerical methods which exactly preserve some important geometric structure in the physical model under consideration. Typically this could mean the preservation of symplecticity in Hamiltonian systems, or the preservation of volume in divergence free systems. The research teams involved in this exchange programme have gained considerable expertise in complementary subfields of geometric numerical integration in the last two decades, and in particular Lie group methods (UiB, Cambridge, NTNU), structure preserving splitting methods (Massey, LaTrobe) and methods for highly oscillatory problems (Cambridge). The exchange will enable a transfer of knowledge between the groups including training of early stage researchers. We believe this will ultimately lead to the solution of challenging theoretical and practical problems in the structure preserving numerical solution of dynamical systems. This goal can not be achieved without sharing our expertise, and will allow us to establish enduring collaborations.

The PRESTO project aims at improving test-based embedded systems development and validation, while considering the constraints of industrial development processes. This project is based on the integration of (a) test traces exploitation (generated by test execution in the software integration phase induced by the industrial development process, to validate the requirements of the system) along with (b) platform models and (c) design space exploration techniques. The expected result of the project is to enable functional and performance analysis and platform optimisation at early stage of the design development. The approach of PRESTO is to model the software/hardware allocation, by the use of a modelling framework based on the UML profile for model-driven development of Real Time and Embedded Systems (MARTE). The analysis tools, among them timing analysis including Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis, scheduling analysis and possibly more abstract system-level timing analysis techniques will receive as inputs on the one hand information from the MARTE performance modelling of the HW/SW-platform, and on the other hand behavioural information of the software design from tests results of the integration test execution. Of particular novelty in PRESTO is the exploitation of traces for the exclusion of over-pessimistic assumptions during timing analysis: instead of taking all possible inputs and states into account for a worst-case analysis, a set of relevant traces is analyzed separately to reduce the set of possible inputs and states for each trace. A particular attention will be given to industrial development constraints, which means 1) as little cost as possible in term of extra specification time and need of expertise, 2) a simple use of the tools, 3) a smooth integration in the current design process, 4) a tool framework flexible enough to be adapted to different process methodologies, design languages and integration test frameworks, 5) analysis results DoW (TA) Approved by the ARTEMIS JU on 26/05/2014

Despite the considerable research and important advances of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) field, large scale application of the technology is still hindered by technical, complexity and cost issues. Ongoing R&D projects are addressing the shortcomings by focusing on energy harvesting, middleware, network intelligence, standardization, network reliability, adaptability and scalability. These are among the most prominent issues preventing a wider adoption of WSN-based solutions by system integrators and end users. WSN deployment, testing, and maintenance are still challenging the WSN wider use. This project will address the above WSN challenges by developing an integrated platform for smart environments that will comprise a middleware for heterogeneous wireless technologies as well as an integrated engineering tool for quick system development, a planning tool and a commissioning & maintenance tool for expert and non-expert users. This project will build two demonstrators in order to evaluate the impact of the developed middleware and the tools. The first application demonstrator will be an outdoor parking application where WSN will detect free parking slots in an outdoor parking and guide the drivers to reach them, park their car and enter automatically in the system all relevant information. The second application demonstrator will be system where WSN will measure the air quality and noise, light, and electromagnetic levels on city streets to assist the understanding of wide area dynamics and the City Managers' decision making process. This project will contribute to the development of a multi-domain architecture and to provide strategic input to enhance other ARTEMIS application-oriented Sub-Programmes. To further increase the value for the field, most of the project development will be released under a suitable open source license for mutual benefit and to foster academic research and know how to transfer to industry.

Research problem: The 3rd and 2nd millennium was a period that saw major social and cultural transformations in Europe, from migrations and the introduction of metal (the Bronze Age) to new cultural identities and languages. As these two millennia were formative for Europe’s later history, these are hotly debated issues. However, they can now be resolved, at least in part, by the application of new science-based methodologies and the development of new interpretative frameworks. Aims and methodologies: The project does so by adopting an interdisciplinary methodological approach that combines science and culture. Isotope tracing in combination with recent advances in ancient DNA is employed to test human origins and movements during the two millennia, as well as the origin of wool and textiles. Lead isotope is adopted to trace the origin of copper. Based on this the project will document and explain the forging of new identities and new types of interaction during the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC in temperate northern Europe, but with implications for western Eurasia. Progress and originality: Accomplishment of front-line research results by combining archaeology with new developments in the natural sciences to produce new knowledge about the mobility of people, animals, things, ideas and technologies. This will allow a critical comparison of different types of evidence on mobility from DNA to strontium isotope analyses, and will lead to improved knowledge about the ways in which European regional cultures and identities were formed in the Bronze Age through interaction. Finally, the project will potentially change our understanding and thinking about human mobility as a key factor in cultural and social change.

The present project aims to provide a naturalistic account of epistemic norms, and of the associated epistemic awareness in children and adults from different cultures. Epistemics norms (ENs) such as intelligibility, relevance, truth, coherence and consensus are dimensions on which mental contents can be evaluated for their contribution to knowledge acquisition. Although EN sensitivity is central in education, little is known about 1) how to systematically analyze and inventory ENs, nor about 2) How and to what extent, children and adults from different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds recognize them in making epistemic decisions. Specialists in philosophy of mind, developmental and adult congitive science, along with field anthropology, will apply their methods to address these questions in an interdisciplinary spirit. A common methodological guideline will be to study EN sensitivity as embedded in self-evaluative judgments, and to focus on cases of conflict between various ENs, such as consensus versus truth. This research should reveal how EN sensitivity develops in European and Japanese children, what role is to be assigned, in norm dominance, to emotional interaction, epistemic or social deference, and how EN sensitivity is transferred, in similar tasks and contexts, from self to others and reciprocally.
