The advent of the Data Web demonstrates how Web technologies can be employed to integrate dispersed, heterogeneous information. Most information – be it the product logistics status within supply chains, data warehouses of E-Commerce systems or offerings of the bakery shop next door – has a directly or indirectly associated spatial dimension. Integrating and efficiently using information with such a spatial dimension on the Web poses very particular challenges. First, we have to combine and reason about spatial and semantic features that use different vocabularies and representation techniques. Second, the wealth of pre-existing overlapping and complementary information sources in the spatial domain demands information management able to deal with billions of facts in a scalable manner. Third, only by dramatically lowering the entrance barriers extra value can be generated through the involvement of thousands of non-expert end users in authoring, curation and assessment. GeoKnow tackles these challenges and facilitates the transition from islands of isolated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to a Web of interlinked Geographic Knowledge Systems (GKS). GeoKnow focuses on two complementary application scenarios: (1) spatial-semantic collaboration and data integration along value-chains in supplier and customers networks; and (2) spatial-semantic travel E-Commerce data management. GeoKnow will contribute to the evolution of the Web from a medium for information exchange to a medium for (spatial) knowledge integration. GeoKnow aims to help realizing network effects by increasing quality and coherence of the Spatial Data Web. For enterprises, the GeoKnow Generator will provide a cost-efficient way to integrate a variety of heterogeneous information sources within an Enterprise Data Intranet.

Silicon with its mature integration platform has brought electronic circuits to mass-market applications - our vision is that silicon photonics will follow this revolution. Over the last years silicon photonics has seen a tremendous increase in research output, leading to commercial exploitation potential. Most of these efforts have been devoted to the development of elementary building blocks, rather than the fabrication of complete Photonic Integrated Circuits which are needed to support the large potential markets. Upgrading existing platforms to become compatible with industrialization is now essential and requires efforts on streamlining and stabilizing the design and process flows, by taking into account design robustness, process variability and integration constraints. Europe's silicon photonics community has demonstrated a worldwide leadership with both new scientific discoveries and excellent CMOS photonics R&D facilities. PLAT4M's objective is to bring existing silicon photonics research platform to a maturity level which enables seamless transition to industry, suitable for different applications fields and manufacturing volume levels. Progress on three fronts is needed: 1 Mature technologies and tools - Establish scalable Electrical-Optical co-design capability - Stabilize elementary building blocks, focus on process integration and common testing procedures - Develop packaging processes that support high volume manufacturing 2 Validate each platform with application-driven test vehicles - Fabricate representative demonstrators in various applications fields 3 Prepare and evaluate the next generation platform - Assess advanced processes with future technology nodes and scalability to high integration complexity PLAT4M gathers leading European R&D institutes and CMOS companies, key industrial and research players in design, packaging as well as end-users in different application fields in order to build the whole supply chain.

Interaction Computing (IC) takes inspiration from cellular processes rather than from evolution. BIOMICS aims to leverage existing cell metabolic and regulatory mechanisms as the ontogenetic basis of a model for IC. However, because the knowledge to properly mimic, exploit and adapt these systems to computer science is lacking, BIOMICS will also advance the state of the art in the mathematics of biocomputing. The mathematical structure thus uncovered feeds into two different and complementary directions. On the one hand, it will inform the automata theory formalisms for IC; on the other hand, it will be mapped through category theory to the logic foundations of the BIOMICS specification language. Whereas the automata theory research will focus on the structural properties of self-organising systems, the BIOMICS specification language will instead focus on the specification of self-organising behaviour. By end of Year 2 we will have developed the formal tools and frameworks from both points of view of the behaviour-realisation dichotomy to be able to effect their synthesis in the form of an environment which, through interactions, is capable of generating useful software systems that match the biological structure template – and are therefore themselves based on interactions. This foundational mathematical work of BIOMICS will be applicable to software systems of a radically new kind and to systems biology, creating a unified mathematical framework for understanding, predicting, manipulating, and dynamically synthesising algorithmic activity-in-context based on interactions (i.e. interaction computation) in both realms. This will be demonstrated not only by the application of the framework to the analysis of complex-adaptive biological systems beyond those studied in the course of its development, but also by proof-of-concept implementations of software systems (for example demonstrating security properties) as a potential new paradigm for unconventional computing.

VECTOR (Versatile Easy installable Connector incorporating new Technologies for accelerated fiber Optic network Roll outs in Europe) aims to develop and commercialize an innovative low-cost highly performing field installable connectivity system that will impact at a multi-million-euro scale the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and the operation expenditure (OPEX) of telecom fiber broadband networks and that will facilitate the achievement of the European 2020 objectives for broadband connectivity. The VECTOR connectivity system will comprise a ferrule-less connector granting ultra-high optical performance and a fully automated installation tool allowing for field installation by a general-skill technician. Disruptive fibre-handling techniques based on heat-shrinkable materials, advanced nano-textiles, and plasma-shaping will be developed and incorporated in the installation tool to ensure reliability, whereas high-tech gels and micro-mechanical alignment systems will be included in the connector to yield superior optical performance. Finally, micro-fabrication and replication techniques will be propose to ensure ease of volume production at low price. The use of connectors instead of permanent splices will grant flexible reconfigurability of the network. Overall, VECTOR aims to outperform the state-of the-art of ferrule-based connectors by optical performance, flexibility, reliability and cost. This will ultimately break the current paradigm of ferrule-based optical connectivity requiring extensive pre-engineering and highly specialized manpower for field deployment. In order to succeed in this ambitious goal, we created a consortium comprising the full portfolio of required technical knowledge, as well as the critical mass necessary to turn our connectivity system into a commercial reality that potentially can be deployed in the optical networks of whole Europe.

The LEXNET project addresses key factors of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) induced by wireless telecommunication networks and "low exposure" technologies. The wireless communication systems that are nowadays intensively used have induced fears to the general population about possible health impact. To date no adverse health effect has been established but recently the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Such context may curb the general public from using innovative wireless systems. The goal of the LEXNET project is to investigate technologies and architectures to reduce the total human exposure without compromising the user’s perceived quality in the frequency bands used for cellular and wireless local area networks (700 MHz to 6 GHz). EMF exposure is often assessed with access points and devices considered separately. The real exposure induced by a network requires assessing the averaged exposure encountered during human activities (working, travelling, etc.) and must consider jointly the up- and downlinks of different systems. The project will define a suitable index of exposure (Iexp), which will consider exposure as a composition of situations encountered in various scenarios (e.g. percentages at home, travelling, etc). The acceptability of such index will be discussed with stakeholders. To reduce the Iexp of existing and future networks, the LEXNET project will analyse different options (e.g. radio components, interference management, power control, cell discontinuous transmission, network selection and network nodes reconfiguration). The findings will be demonstrated through a deployment in a smart city and validation platforms for proof of concept. The project will contribute to scientific knowledge and initiate a specific symposium to discuss with stakeholders such as national authorities in charge of these aspects (e.g. CEPT, ANFR and OfCom).

The Service Platform for Green European Transportation provides transportation planners and drivers of transportation vehicles with the means to plan, re-plan and control transportation routes efficiently and in a manner that reduces CO2 emission. Currently, basic systems for transportation and route planning exist. The GET Service platform lifts these systems to the next major level, by: 1. enabling improved transportation and route planning, by incorporating transportation- and logistics-related tasks, such as transfer of goods and administrative tasks, into the planning; 2. facilitating more accurate transportation and route planning, by using real-time information from multiple information sources; 3. facilitating quick effectuation of changes to transportation plans, including the execution of necessary transportation-related tasks, such as (de-)reservation of necessary resources and unloading of already loaded goods; 4. enabling holistic planning, where transportation routes and placement of transportation resources is planned jointly to optimize resource usage. To achieve these objectives, the GET Service platform is developed, with subsystems for information aggregation, real-time planning, transportation control and transportation service development. The GET Service platform contributes to the state of the art, by providing: novel real-time transportation planning algorithms; a transportation-specific service development subsystem, transportation control and reconfiguration mechanisms; and automated real-time information aggregation mechanisms. A prototype of the GET Service platform will be implemented, along with a collection of information provisioning services and end-user services for transportation planners and drivers of transportation vehicles. With this prototype the platform’s practical applicability to reduce CO2 emission will be validated, by solving usage scenarios related to co-modality, synchro-modality and resource distribution.

Scalable end-user access to Big Data is critical for effective data analysis and value creation. Optique will bring about a paradigm shift for data access by * providing a semantic end-to-end connection between users and data sources * enabling users to rapidly formulate intuitive queries using familiar vocabularies and conceptualisations * seamlessly integrating data spread across multiple distributed data sources, including streaming sources * exploiting massive parallelism for scalability far beyond traditional RDBMSs and thus reducing the turnaround time for information requests to minutes rather than days. These objectives will be achieved by bringing together leading experts and cutting edge technology from diverse communities to develop an extensible platform that will provide a complete and generic solution to the data access challenges posed by Big Data. The platform will: (i) Use an ontology and declarative mappings to capture user conceptualisations and to transform user queries into complete, correct and highly optimised queries over the data sources; (ii) Integrate distributed heterogeneous sources, including streams; (iii) Exploit massively parallel technologies and holistic optimisations to maximise performance; (iv) Include tools to support query formulation and ontology and mapping management; (v) Use semi-automatic bootstrapping of ontologies and mappings and query driven ontology construction to minimise installation overhead. Development of the platform will be informed by and continuously evaluated against the requirements of complex real-world challenges, with two large European companies providing the project with comprehensive use cases, and access to user groups and TB scale data sets. Experience from the use case deployments will be used to develop high quality tutoring and training resources, and to engage in an aggressive dissemination and exploitation program aimed at achieving the widest possible uptake of Optique technology.

The goal of CYSPA is to address trustworthy ICT through a European strategy to protect cyberspace, with target audiences ranging from research communities and industry to public authorities and infrastructure operators. This goal builds on the analysis that the entire cyberspace which embodies our connected society has been created by technology but evolving towards trustworthy ICT requires taking into account all dimensions, from human to legislative, from infrastructure to information, from economic to societal. This means addressing the issue at European level and prioritizing the initiatives based on economically validated metrics. CYSPA is proposed by 17 partners and 4 supporting organisations from industry and research, extending across 10 countries and promoting a top-down approach, - starting from the economic and societal impacts of cyber disruptions - integrating the role and expected impact of on-going initiatives - detailing the capability needs through a solutions and technology observatory - evaluating the optimal uptake and deployment models to ultimately deliver and disseminate an integrated European strategy to protect cyberspace. In the short term, CYSPA is an ICT support action. In the mid-term, CYSPA is an alliance of stakeholders taking trustworthy ICT forward with a prioritised, evolving, industry and research supported, economically validated strategy and implementation lines. CYSPA delivers four major outcomes - cyber disruptions impact report and associated metrics - a technology & solutions observatory - integrated European strategy for the protection of cyberspace - structured community from providers to operators, making CYSPA evolve as a self-sufficient alliance beyond the lifetime of the CYSPA project. CYSPA innovates in moving from a bottom-up technological / legislative push model to a top-down, user / citizen pull model supported by refined and focused metrics.
