Adapt4EE aims at augmenting the contemporary architectural envelope by incorporating business and occupancy related information thus providing a holistic approach to the planning, design & evaluation of energy performance of construction products at an early design phase and prior to their realization. Adapt4EE aims to deliver and validate a holistic energy performance framework that incorporates architectural metadata and environmental parameters (BIM), critical business models (BPM), treating occupants as the central reference point. The Adapt4EE framework, identifying and analyzing occupancy behavior (presence and movement) will align energy consumption points to all interrelated enterprise aspects (business processes, enterprise assets and utility state and operations). Adapt4EE will develop an enhanced semantic enterprise data model that treats, learns and manages the enterprise environment as an intelligent agent, perceives environmental state using multi-type sensors and information modalities. The Adapt4EE Enterprise Model will incorporate business processes and occupancy data. It will also constitute a formal model for enterprise energy performance measuring, monitoring, simulation, prediction and optimization. The model will be calibrated during the training phase based on sensor data captured during operation and then applied and evaluated in real-life every day enterprise operations. More specifically the Adapt4EE Enterprise Models will allow for the proactive identification of optimum local adaptations of enterprise utility operations, based on predictions of possible occupancy patterns and respective business operations and energy profiles. Adapt4EE will provide a set of Open Business Reference Models as well as respective methods and tools for modelling and simulating the real life operation of construction products, thus allowing for more accurate and realistic evaluation of the energy impact of alternative design and planning decisions.

Pushed by economical and ecological stakes, embedded systems from the avionics, automotive and automation domains, featuring real-time, safety and critical capabilities have to face increasing performance needs that will no more be satisfied by existing architectures based on single-cores. Current trends are to take benefit from multi-core processors high performance in replacing single-cores by multi-cores which raises predictability and isolation challenges for timing and mixed criticality aspects. This is mainly due to the inadequateness and inability of current approaches to effectively handle reliability and the cause of non-deterministic behaviour on multi-cores. Facing multi-core architectures’ inevitable use, CERTAINTY will introduce a disruptive methodology for the design of complex critical applications allowing safety and time criticality aspects composition, taking into account unpredictability of shared resource availability as elements of the problem space, identify analysis methods and techniques supporting this new approach and demonstrate the applicability of these techniques through meaningful examples of complex control functions. New methodology and design tools, applicable in diverse industrial sectors, will be validated in an avionics application on a multi-core architecture: an existing Flight Management System will be analyzed using the CERTAINTY Methodology and Analysis Tools to specify which part could be at which critical level redesigned and composed according to the methodology. The system design will be evaluated to show that relevant safety requirements are met (i.e. ability to ensure partitioning/isolation, ability to provide a WCET, system determinism and incrementality), contributing to the certification process on new architecture generations. The major result will be a Proof of Concept of a design methodology, resultant Analysis Methodologies and associated synthesis tools: CERTAINTY Methodology and prototypes. The impact of CERTAINTY will be to contribute to the certification of mixed criticality applications on multi cores in more efficient and effective ways (performance improvement regarding strict temporal partitioning), and provide recommendations to standardization working groups preparing the way for new standards in this area.

Demand Response [DR] programs along with the emergence of technology to support DR are known to offer a high potential for energy consumption reduction. However, the process of designing effective DR programs is not yet very well understood. Research related to demand response and demand side management has addressed a suite of issues including differential pricing, incentive schemes, consumption profiling, and eco-feedback. Despite these efforts, there is a lack of understanding of factors (such as weather, local events, consumer context,) that influence the demand side. Understanding these factors and appropriately integrated in the DR programs is crucial to the success of DR. WATTALYST (WATT anALYSis Technologies) will address this need by establishing correlations between electricity consumption (monitored on a fine-grained basis) and the factors that influence demand side participation. The insights gained will be presented to DR designers using a visual analytics framework that can help the designers, and possibly also policy makers, to design and implement effective DR solutions and configure related parameters when it comes to energy/DR information communication (visualization) and consumer incentives, including pricing models. WATTALYST focus is to: • Investigate demand response participation rates and how these rates vary based on external factors (weather, week-day, holidays etc), internal factors (private or professional context etc) and customer persons profile (age, position in organization/family etc). • Understand how consumers reduce demand, by identifying the loads (e.g. washing machines, electric vehicles) that can be shifted and those that cannot, and by identifying the loads that can be reduced (e.g. cooling, heating) and those that cannot. • Understand effective methods of conveying the DR signals to users. In particular, the research will focus on interface design, communication means (in-house displays, SMS messages) based on importance/priority and type of consumer/user profile. WATTALYST will advance the state-of-the-art on the above topics, both in research and by means of a set of experimental trials with consumers/users in three pilot sites. Final project results will be compiled as "DR design recommendations". The type of new DR design knowledge that WATTALYST will generate, will target several major energy related environmental, human, societal and industrial challenges and objectives such as reduced energy consumption, improved environment impact, and an overall improved energy economy.

RE@CT will introduce a new production methodology to create film-quality interactive characters from 3D video capture of actor performance. Recent advances in graphics hardware have produced interactive video games with photo-realistic scenes. However, interactive characters still lack the visual appeal and subtle details of real actor performance as captured on film. In addition, existing production pipelines for authoring animated characters are highly labour intensive. RE@CT aims to revolutionise the production of realistic characters and significantly reduce costs by developing an automated process to extract and represent animated characters from actor performance capture in a multiple camera studio. The key innovation is the development of methods for analysis and representation of 3D video to allow reuse for real-time interactive animation. This will enable efficient authoring of interactive characters with video quality appearance and motion. The project builds on the latest advances in 3D and free-viewpoint video from the contributing project partners. For interactive applications, the technical challenges are to achieve another step change in visual quality and to transform captured 3D video data into a representation that can be used to synthesise new actions and is compatible with current gaming technology. RE@CT gathers a team of world leading researchers and companies in motion capture, 3D video, broadcast and interactive animation to develop a new production pipeline, including new temporal 3D matching methods, a new data representation for 3D action and an immersive visual feedback system as a production aid for actors. The project results will be demonstrated in two application scenarios: An augmented reality application will demonstrate usage for serious gaming in education and entertainment. A production alongside a TV programme will demonstrate new synergies for developing a traditional programme and an interactive application in parallel.

Energy markets have undergone fundamental changes at the conceptual level over the last years. The necessity for sustainability has transformed the traditional power production scheme to a distributed energy resource one, while the future points towards a great number of decentralized, small-scale production sites based on renewable energy sources, also. The Smart Grid paradigm is here to stay, while the deregulation of energy markets has defined new rules and new procedures. These changes offer substantial opportunities for all energy market stakeholders, which remain mostly unexploited due to two main reasons: a) the small-scale consumers comprising the vast majority of stakeholders are individually insignificant, and their market power is practically non-existent. Nevertheless, if they were somehow aggregated, their market power would dramatically increase, so as to affect market related policies and, b) there is currently a lack of tools for modeling this aspect of the energy market, i.e. the modeling of all involved entities with respect to their consumption behavior in an aggregate fashion, and the evaluation of trends formulated, policies applied and decisions made against specific socio-economic and environmental performance indicators. Project CASSANDRA aims to build a platform for the realistic modeling of the energy market stakeholders, also involving small-scale consumers. CASSANDRA will not provide another tool for visualization. Rather, it will provide users with the ability to test and benchmark working scenarios that can affect system operation and company/environmental policies at different levels of abstraction, starting from a basic level (single consumer) and shifting up to large consumer areas (i.e. a city). The project main outcomes will be the aggregation methodology and the framework of key performance indicators for scenario assessment, as well as an expandable software platform that providing different energy stakeholders with the ability to model the energy market, in order to assess scenarios for their own purposes.

During the last century, significant scientific progress has more than doubled the average lifetime of developed countries inhabitants. This amazing result is the indirect consequence of X-rays discovery in 1901, of antibiotics in the late 20s, of advances in surgery with the first heart transplant in the late 60s, to name just a few representative examples. In the new millennium, eHealth will likely constitute the next disruptive big jump: this goal will be fostered by the networking technology that CONCERTO envisions to develop, which addresses the delivery of interactive multimedia applications over wireless networks. In this fast-paced world, early diagnosis (i.e., before even the patient reaches an hospital) and remote care (i.e., without physical presence of medical doctors) are important cornerstones to make this big jump become a reality. At a technical level, this interactive and real-time multimedia adaptation and delivery, is extremely challenging due to the necessity of flawless 3D/4D images and video quality, which is for doctors and paramedics a hard constraint to yield correct diagnosis. CONCERTO intends to design and validate radically new techniques for media content fusion, adaptation, delivery and interactive access. Advanced algorithms and codecs to improve the compression and the protection of medical images and videos will be developed. Near-instantaneous adaptation will be then used for coping with variable bandwidth availability, error-prone links, etc., that may affect the received quality. More particularly, the project will design adaptive solutions considering not only the network capabilities but also the specific context of the delivery, such as patient-specific data and status. Finally, media-caching aided content-aware wireless delivery (e.g., LTE / LTE Advanced) schemes will be designed for advanced content-aware networking. In this challenge, each partner will play the right instrument to ensure the validity of the CONCERTO solution: this will tackle from low-level technical aspects, to the realization of a proof-of-concept demonstrator and to the achievement of high level objectives, where physicians of the hospital of Perugia will assess the actual quality of experience, orchestrating and exploiting the consortium skills at best.

ROTROT (ROll to Roll production of Organic Tandem cells) project addresses “Flexible, Organic and Large Area Electronic and photonics”. OLAE potentially offers a giant step for consumer electronics and will continue to address mass market applications. In this OLAE field, Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) has to compete with Si and Thin Film PV. OPV has followed this tremendous growth and makes important additions to the motivation: low cost and easy manufacturing on flexible substrates by printing technologies. The problem of harvesting energy from light naturally presents a large area challenge and no manufacturing technique is faster than printing and coating under ambient conditions in terms of manufactured surface per unit time. This is in reality what gives OPV the competitive advantage over all other PV technologies. Power conversion efficiency of OPV cells has relatively been growing +0.5% per year from 1990. This enhancement is mainly due to new performing material discovery. If we want to reach relative growth up to 1 to 2% per year, we still have to work on new high absorbing polymers but also put great effort on device architecture design like the tandem structure. Novel disruptive concepts are required involving cheaper production of multilayered printed cells based on innovative engineered architectures (R2R printed tandem cell), new high performance materials (low band gap Eg ~1.5 eV, electrodes, high performance interface, barrier adhesive). Such innovative solutions are necessary for the technology to reach further than today’s niche markets and to overcome the limitations by improving at least two times the currently achieved efficiency (12%), improving the lifetime by more than factor 4 from today’s known OPV cell and reducing the cost (down to 0.7€/Wp). ROTROT proposes to fulfill these goals and comprise a complete solution process using significant advances in R2R techniques ending up with an environmentally friendly and safe deposition process
