Atomic nuclei are finite systems composed of fermions, the nucleons, and essentially governed by the strong force and quantum mechanical laws. Their structure is characterized by single-particle orbitals grouped in energy shells, separated by energy gaps. The numbers of nucleons that correspond to fully filled shells are called magic and represent the backbone of nuclear structure. In this proposal, we propose a new approach to investigate the most neutron-rich systems ever reached and establish the shell structure in new regions of the nuclear chart where new magic numbers or strong shell reordering are expected or controversial. This will open new horizons in the terra incognita of the nuclear landscape. Beyond the fundamental question of the nuclear force, the assessment of new shell closures in the nuclear landscape is of primary importance to better understand the stellar nucleosynthesis in the Universe. In-flight gamma spectroscopy of rare isotopes at intermediate energy is one of the most efficient tools to populate and measure excited states in exotic nuclei. We propose to develop a new method that will increase the sensitivity of prompt-gamma spectroscopy by more than one order of magnitude compared to existing setups. Experiments will be performed at the most competitive fragmentation radioactive-beam facilities worldwide. In the future, this program will take advantage of the European FAIR facility, Germany, coupled to the European new-generation gamma array AGATA spectrometer. When coupled to AGATA, the improvement will reach a factor of several hundreds. This new experimental technique will be strengthened by original developments in the theory of reaction mechanisms, which are also included in this proposal.

Organic molecules of all shapes and sizes are required for a multitude of applications in numerous settings, such as in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries (among others). To meet this demand, organic synthesis is faced with the challenge of converting simple, readily available chemical building blocks into more complex structures in as rapid, efficient, and cost-effective a manner as possible. As such, increasing the efficiency of organic synthesis provides enormous benefits to society, quality of life, and a sustainable future. In this proposal, we outline a program aimed at the design, development, and application of new asymmetric transition metal-catalyzed reactions, where a chiral catalyst will control which particular enantiomer of a chiral product is formed. This feature is absolutely vital, since the action of chiral functional molecules within a chiral environment (such as in biological systems) is critically dependent upon their three-dimensional shape, and hence their enantiomeric composition. Several sub-project areas (each based around transition metal ions for which our group has had prior expertise) are presented, which target compounds from simpler chemical building blocks (copper- and rhodium-catalyzed reactions) to those of higher complexity (nickel-catalyzed domino reactions). During the course of this research, we anticipate that a host of useful discoveries will be made that will positively impact the discipline of organic synthesis for the ultimate benefit of society.

Today's state-of-the-art methods for data processing are model based. We propose a fundamentally new approach that does not depend on an explicit model representation and can be used for model-free data processing. From a theoretical point of view, the prime advantage of the newly proposed paradigm is conceptual unification of existing methods. From a practical point of view, the proposed paradigm opens new possibilities for development of computational methods for data processing. The underlying computational tool in the proposed setting is low-rank approximation. Recent work by the applicant, co-workers, and others has demonstrated advantages of computational methods based on low-rank approximation over classical methods, based on solution of linear systems of equations. In this proposal, we will further advance the theory and algorithms for low-rank approximation by developing robust and efficient local optimisation methods and methods based on convex relaxations. Low-rank approximation has applications in systems and control, signal processing, computer algebra, and machine learning, to name a few. Generic examples in system theory and signal processing are model reduction and system identification. Dimensionality reduction, classification, and information retrieval problems in machine learning can be formulated and solved as low-rank approximation problems, thus benefiting from the theory, algorithms, and numerical software tools developed in this research proposal. Beyond the scope of the proposal, we envisage that the newly proposed paradigm will catalyse cross-disciplinary research, leading to selection of the best theoretical tools and computational methods available as well as development of new ones by a synergy of ideas from different application domains.

The goal of PLAY is to develop and validate an elastic and reliable federated SOA architecture for dynamic and complex, event-driven interaction in large highly distributed and heterogeneous service systems. Such architecture will enable exchange of contextual information between heterogeneous services, providing the possibilities to optimize/personalize the execution of them, resulting in the so called situational-driven adaptivity. The main outcome will be a FOT (federated – open – trusted) Platform for event-driven interaction between services, that scales at the Internet level based on the proposed architecture and that addresses Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The platform consists of: - Federated middleware layer: a peer-to-peer overlay network combined with a publish/subscribe mechanism, that has the task to collect events coming from the heterogeneous and distributed services, - Distributed complex event processor: an elastic, distributed computing cloud based engine for complex processing/combining of events coming from different services in order to detect interesting situations a service should react on - Situational-aware business adapter: a recommender engine for proposing adaptation and changes in running business processes and services in a non-predefined (ad-hoc) way, by ensuring the consistency of the whole instance The system will be tested in two use cases: crisis management and telecom industry, showing the advantages of such an architecture for Future Internet. Indeed, PLAY aims to revolutionize the Future Internet by making it situational-aware, which leads to the event-aware services that are able to proactively adapt themselves to the changes in the environment.

Lung cancer (LC) is still the most lethal type of cancer worldwide. The extremely poor prognosis for LC patients is partly due to the lack of effective therapies. At present, most patients with pulmonary carcinomas are treated with chemotherapy. This essentially consists of classic cytotoxic drugs which only improve survival in small cohorts in few cases. In spite of the rapidly growing understanding of the epigenetic and genetic profile of LC, such knowledge has contributed little to improving therapeutics. This scenario, however, is likely to change soon because several specific cancer therapies, targeting molecules that are altered in cancer, are being developed or are already undergoing clinical trials. Thinking ahead, our proposal focuses, on the one hand, on validating novel and specific therapeutic strategies, with particular emphasis on discovering (epi)genetic alterations that could act as novel targets for therapies, and, on the other, on defining the (epi)genetic markers that could determine the efficacy response or resistance to targeted therapies as well as the acquired resistance of the tumours to therapy. To reach our goals, we have designed an integrative and interdisciplinary approach involving leading European clinical scientists of international renown with prominent preclinical and basic research groups using high throughput and state-of-the art platforms for genomics and gene expression analysis. To date, no such comprehensive information exists. The results will be of great value for the stratification of lung tumours according to their genetic background for tailored treatments. The development of an (epi)genetic-based therapeutic prediction model will hopefully set the basis for future tailored treatment of LC as well as of other epithelial cancers.

IMC-AESOP will investigate a Service-oriented Architecture approach for monitoring and control of Process Control applications (batch and continuous process). Large process industry systems are a complex set of multi-disciplinary, connected, heterogeneous systems that function as a complex system of which the components are themselves systems. They link many components from individual groups of sensors to e.g. whole control, monitoring, supervisory control systems, performing SCADA and DCS functions. The future “Perfect Plant” will enable monitoring and control information flow in a cross-layer way. Components can be dynamically added or removed and dynamic discovery enables the on-demand information combination and collaboration. All systems will collaborate in an enterprise-wide system of systems, dynamically evolving based on business needs. IMC-AESOP deals with several key challenges that arise such as real-time web services, interoperability, plug and play, self-adaptation, reliability, cost-effectiveness, energy-awareness, high-level cross-layer integration and cooperation, event propagation, aggregation and management. Using SOA we will go to complex infrastructures linked in a cross-layer way from devices to enterprise systems. Transition from legacy systems will be studied for existing ones. The SOA-based approach proposed by IMC-AESOP will simplify the integration of monitoring and control systems on application layer. IMC-AESOP will demonstrate the application feasibility in pilots. The use cases provided from several end-users will be demonstrated in pilot applications. Engineering tools, application modelling and methodologies will be investigated and highlights on the future of the domain will be provided by research and academic partners. The IMC-AESOP partnership among important ICT players / stakeholders of the industrial value chain is a key aspect of the proposal that allows to foresee important contributions to relevant standardization bodies.

Quantum design, the ability to control the microscopic properties of a quantum system, has proven to be an invaluable tool in experimental physics. Carbon nanotubes are an ideal system to implement quantum design in the solid-state; their strongly interacting electrons, unusual spin properties, and unique mechanical qualities make them an excellent platform for studying quantum phenomena in low dimensions. However, for many years this potential has been hindered by the dominance of strong electronic disorder in this system. Fortunately, a series of recent breakthroughs in making nanotubes free of disorder has dramatically changed this situation, opening up a wide range of opportunities for high-precision experiments in these systems. In this work I propose to develop a new technology that will enable quantum design experiments in carbon nanotubes. This technology, which builds on my recent development of ultra-clean electronic devices in nanotubes, will allow us to create nanotube device-architectures that go far beyond those currently available. Specifically, we will be able to control the properties of individual electrons with microscopic precision (~100nm), manipulate their quantum states, and image their individual wavefunctions. This new toolset will be used to study previously unexplored realms in condensed matter physics, ranging from the correlated states-of-matter formed by electrons in one-dimension, to quantum information experiments with multiple electronic spins, and finally to mechanical studies of nanotube resonators in the quantum limit. These studies will address some of the most fundamental aspects pertaining to the physics of electrons, spins and phonons in low dimensions.

Project aim. Chronic diseases represent an important challenge facing healthcare systems. Research has consistently shown gaps between knowledge and practice for chronic illness care. Tailoring implementation interventions implies that the choice and content of implementation interventions are based on assessment of local barriers and enabling factors. It is widely believed that tailoring contributes to effective implementation, but little is known about specific methods and models for tailoring. The project ‘Tailoring implementation for chronic diseases’ (TICD) aims to develop better methods of tailoring implementation interventions to barriers and enablers for knowledge implementation in chronic illness care. Project plan. The 48-month project has been organized in 4 research work packages, a dissemination work package and a project management work package. WP1 will systematically review evidence on methods and models for tailoring implementation interventions. WP2 will test different methods and models for identifying barriers and enablers for implementation. WP3 will test different methods and models for matching implementation interventions to barriers and enablers. WP4 comprises of evaluations of the effectiveness of the resulting implementation interventions, and the influence of hypothesized barriers and enablers. We will perform comparitve evaluations, focusing on five chronic conditions: chronic heart failure, obesity, mental health, asthma and COPD, and multimorbidity. Deliverables of the TICD project are: scientific papers on the validity and effectiveness of specific tailoring methods and models, practical guidelines on tailoring for stakeholders, and specific evidence on improving medical care for the targeted chronic conditions.. The TICD consortium comprises of 7 research groups with extensive experience in implementation research, who have successfully worked together in different configurations for over 15 years.

The European Future and Emerging Technologies Conference and Exhibition 2011 (FET11), in an eighteen month work plan, has as strategic objective to coordinate the efficient and effective organisation and related communications of the European Future and Emerging Technologies Conference and Exhibition 2011, promoting the development of a FET community across diverse stakeholders. Through the methodical coordination of FET11, the CA seeks to: make a two-fold contribution to the systemic dissemination of FET activities, via a large-scale conference, and the communication and promotional activities required for the build-up of the event; reinforce the relationships between current contributors to FET; and extend the visibility and reach of FET beyond the existing community. Conferences are a key element for the spreading of scientific work and the regularity of large-scale events of this nature can be a promotional tribune and a sign of dynamism for a field able to communicate its work and attract talents and forces. Given the specific “non-mainstream” nature of FET research, the considerable success of the first FET Conference in Prague 2009 reveals an existing need and a growing public. FET11 will therefore deliver the advantages of a sustained promotional and dissemination activity structured around an efficiently organised conference at the service of the FET research community.

Security protocols are short distributed computer programs dedicated to securing communications on digital networks. They are designed to achieve various goals such as data privacy and data authenticity, even when communication channels are controlled by malicious users. Their increasing penetration in many important applications makes it a very important research challenge to design and establish security properties. In the last decade, formal approaches and automated verification techniques have been successfully applied for detecting potential attacks. However, the security guarantees obtained so far usually hold in a rather abstract model, and are limited to isolated specific protocols analyzed for a few set of specific security properties. Moreover new types of protocols are still emerging in order to face new technological and societal challenges. The goal of the project is to propose foundations for a careful analysis and design of large classes of up-to-date protocols. Proposing a secure environment for network-based communications has a societal as well as an economical prominent impact. To achieve this goal, we foresee three main tasks. First, we plan to develop general verification techniques for new classes of protocols that are of primary interest in nowadays life like e-voting protocols, routing protocols or APIs. Second, we will consider the cryptographic part of the primitives that are used in such protocols (encryption, signatures, ...), obtaining higher security guarantees. Third, we will propose modular results both for the analysis and design of protocols. As a particular outcome, each of the tasks will allow to characterize simple design principles that ease the analysis (thus the security) of protocols and discard families of attacks.
