SmartSantander proposes a unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility in support of typical applications and services for a smart city. Tangible results are expected to greatly influence definition and specification of Future Internet architecture design from viewpoints of Internet of Things and Internet of Services. This unique experimental facility will be sufficiently large, open and flexible to enable horizontal and vertical federation with other experimental facilities and stimulates development of new applications by users of various types including experimental advanced research on IoT technologies and realistic assessment of users’ acceptability tests. The facility will comprise of more than 20,000 sensors. It will utilise the results of two major EU-funded projects, SENSEI and WISEBED, in creating a secure and open platform of heterogeneous technologies. The city of Santander was chosen in response to offer of full support received from regional Government of Cantabria with real cash contribution of 500,000 €. Thereby strengthening their chance of winning the 2016 election of the city as the Cultural Capital of Europe. To efficiently achieve the goals of SmartSantander, three phases of deployments have been envisaged. It is also planned to issue two Open Calls for the experimental facility to be used by researchers from outside the project and involvement of various types of users to develop new applications. Such a unique facility with practical experience gained and feedbacks received, enables better understanding and insight into issues of: 1) Required capacity, 2) Scalability, 3) Interoperability 4) Stimulation of faster development of new and innovative applications and 5) Influence specification of FI architecture design. The SmartSantander project will enable the Future Internet of Things to become a reality.

To understand what is required to support new innovative Internet applications, a solid understanding of Internet content characteristics (size, distribution, form, structure, evolution, dynamic) is necessary. The LAWA project (LAWA - Longitudinal Analytics of Web Archive data) will build an Internet-based experimental testbed for large-scale data analytics. Its emphasis is on developing a sustainable infrastructure, scalable methods, and easily usable software tools for aggregating, querying, and analyzing heterogeneous data at Internet scale. For decades, compute power and storage have become steadily cheaper, while network speeds, although increasing, has not kept up. The result is that data is becoming increasingly local and thus distributed in nature. It has become necessary to move more analysis to the data, not the reverse. The Internet is already, a long-scaled heterogeneous complex system. LAWA will federate distributed FIRE facilities with the rich centralized Web repository of the European Archive, to create a Virtual Web Observatory and use Web data analytics as a use case study to validate our design. The outcome of our work will enable Web-scale analysis of data, to unlock large-scale study of the content aspect of the Internet and bring this dimension on the roadmap of Future Internet Research. In four workpackages we will extend the open-source Hadoop parallel query management software by novel methods for data access and import, develop new methods of distributed storage with indexing, offer scalable aggregation, mine metadata and text along the time dimension, and advance the art of automatic classification of Web contents. LAWA adds value to the FIRE community by offering access to very large datasets across thousands of storage and processing nodes, with advanced methods and open-source tools for intelligently analysis at Internet scale enabling research for the Future Internet to take into account the challenge of content explosion.

FastFix will enable time- and cost-efficient maintenance and support services, by monitoring software applications, replicating execution failures, and automatically generating patches. Software maintenance and support services are key factors to customers’ perception of software quality. Customers are more demanding about these services, while contribution of maintenance to products total cost of ownership should be reduced. Reducing maintenance costs is even more crucial for SME’s. Their software products often cover specific niches. To take full advantage of this, SMEs must get access to global markets, what is usually hampered by the lack of an adequate on-site customer support. Software vendors need a system to remotely provide a high quality support service to their customers, improve user experience and facilitate corrective, preventive and adaptive maintenance – of both new and existing software products. FastFix results will include a platform and a set of open source tools to on-line monitoring of execution environments, gathering semantic information on application and user behaviour. This information is sent in real time to a support centre, taking special care on privacy and security issues. Using event correlation techniques, FastFix identifies failure symptoms, performance degradation or changes in user behaviour and allow for failure replication, patch generation and patch deployment, resulting in a self-healing software application. Main objectives are to develop (1) tools to gather context information on user and application, (2) a run-time with minimum impact on application performance, (3) a secure method to send this information to a centralized fault analysis platform, (4) a tool to detect software failures, undesirable execution trends and performance degradation, (5) a platform to replicate failure conditions within a virtual machine and (6) a tool to generate change strategies and necessary patches.

The idea of intelligent vehicles that cope with safety requirements and adapt their energy needs is a long-term strategy. We have started our work with successive European research projects in the last years by starting with the development of a drive-by-wire platform, but the combustion engine is still a drawback. eFuture wants to prepare the next generation of electric vehicle based on our first prototype by creating a platform which minimises its energy needs but can still optimise dynamically its decision between safety and energy efficiency. Our key issues will be the optimisation of this energy usage and its influence on the vehicle/driver. We have already seen that optimising each component separately is not enough, an overall concept is mandatory to look at the interactions between the components. The strategies to control the actuators will be integrated for safety issues, comfort driving and energy efficiency and the management of the transitions between these controllers. Second ADAS functions will be re-worked to manage these different aspects and a decision unit will base on the proposed time horizon to pre-compensate the transition between modes for energy optimisation. Beside the technical developments, a major aim of the project is to look at the driver who will be confronted with dynamical properties as this energy management will have a high impact on driving. At the end eFuture will be ready with a static (right configuration of components) and a dynamic (software based synchronization of command and execution layer) optimisations. Transitions between different vehicle behaviours (safety, performance, efficiency) will be designed and a strategy set for the priorities in terms of energy needs during requests collision will be developed. In addition the acceptance of the driver to this dynamical behaviour will be investigated.

The GaLA motivation stems from the acknowledgment of the potentiality of Serious Games (SGs) for education and training and the need to address the challenges of the main stakeholders of the SGs European landscape (users, researchers, developers/industry, educators). A foundational fault issue in this context is the fragmentation that affects the SG landscape. GALA aims to shape the scientific community and build a European Virtual Research Centre (VRC) aimed at gathering, integrating, harmonizing and coordinating research on SGs and disseminating knowledge, best practices and tools as a reference point at an international level. The other two key focuses of the project are (1) the support to deployment in the actual educational and training settings and (2) the fostering of innovation and knowledge transfer through research-business dialogue. The NoE organizations aim to integrate their activities and resources in a long-term view structuring the activities along 3 major axes: • Research integration and harmonization. o Strong integration among leading researchers, users and business; o Strong concern on the current standards of education, in order to favour a real uptake and scaling of the educational games initiatives. o Address sustainability. • Joint research activities. o Identify key issues and address them through multidisciplinary teams (putting always the users – learners and teachers - and stakeholders in the centre of the focus) that will be iteratively explored; o Promote Research and Development team forces – organized in thematic areas - that will do focused research (e.g. joint PhD and MSc projects on hot SG research projects, joint project proposals) and continuously inform the project about the latest developments in technology and education; • Spreading of excellence. o Dissemination of the NoE achievements as a flagship EU initiative in the TEL area o Strong coordination with EU TEL activities, offering a specialized focus and expertise on SGs.

The following list of questions describe the four main directions which I want to develop. 1) Topology of real uniruled manifolds. May the connected sum of two closed hyperbolic manifolds of dimension at least three be Lagrangian embedded in a uniruled symplectic manifold? Being able to answer to this question through the negative using the symplectic field theory introduced by Eliashberg-Givental and Hofer requires to understand pseudo-holomorphic curves in the cotangent bundle of such a connected sum. For this purpose, one needs some understanding of closed geodesics on such manifolds. Conversely, what are the simplest real three-dimensional projective manifolds which have hyperbolic or SOL manifolds in their real loci? 2) Enumerative problems in real uniruled manifolds. Is it possible to extract integer valued invariants from the count of real rational curves of given degree in the projective three-space (for instance) which interpolate an adequate number of real lines? Same question in dimensions greater than three for curves passing through points. 3) Lagrangian strings in symplectic manifolds. I would like to investigate the interactions between closed Lagrangian strings and open Lagrangian strings in symplectic manifolds. These strings -which I recently introduced- interact through holomorphic disks both punctured on their boundaries and interiors. What can be the analogous TQFT associated to coherent sheaves on complex projective manifolds? How are these strings related to Gromov-Witten invariants? 4) Volume of linear systems of real divisors. The theory of closed positive currents provides probabilistic informations on the topology of real hypersurfaces in Kähler manifolds. I want to push a work in progress as far as possible in this subject.

The goal of this proposal is to design and fabricate "smart" inorganic fluorophores, which could replace to replace currently used organic dyes for far-field sub-diffraction limited microscopy applications. Delicate band-gap engineering of the structure and composition of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals is suggested as a path to achieving the required nonlinear all-optical control over their luminescent properties. In conjunction with the inherent photostability, tunability and ease of excitation of these nanocrystals, this can pave the way towards greatly simplified instrumentation and techniques, implying dramatically reduced costs and significantly broader accessibility to sub-diffraction limited imaging. The proposed research is a concerted effort both on colloidal synthesis of complex multicomponent semiconductor nanocrystals and on time and frequency resolved photophysical studies down to the single nanocrystal level. Several schemes for photoactivation and reversible photobleaching of designed nanocrystals, where the localization regime of excited carriers differs between the electrons and the holes, will be explored. These include effective ionization of the emitting nanocrystal core and optical pumping of two-color emitting QDs to a single emitting state. Fulfilling the optical and material requirements from this type of system, including photostability, control of intra-nanocrystal charge- and energy-transfer processes, and a large quantum yield, will inevitably reveal some of the fundamental properties of the unique system of strongly coupled quantum dots in a single nanocrystal.

The main target of CREW is to establish an open federated test platform, which facilitates experimentally-driven research on advanced spectrum sensing, cognitive radio and cognitive networking strategies in view of horizontal and vertical spectrum sharing in licensed and unlicensed bands. The CREW platform incorporates 5 individual wireless testbeds (heterogeneous ISM @ iMinds-Gent, heterogeneous licensed @ TCD-Dublin, cellular @ TUD-Dresden, wireless sensor @ TUB-Berlin, outdoor heterogeneous ISM/TVWS @ JSI-Ljubljana) augmented with SoA cognitive sensing platforms from IMEC (Belgium) and TCS (France). CREW will physically and virtually federate components by linking together software and hardware entities from different partners using a standardized transceiver API, realizing advanced cognitive sensing functionality. In addition, the CREW federation will establish a benchmarking framework, enabling experiments under controlled and reproducible test conditions and providing methodologies for automated performance analysis, allowing a fair comparison between different cognitive concepts or between subsequent developments. Data sets created under benchmarked conditions according to a common data structure enable the emulation of CREW components in other experimental or simulation environments. The basic CREW federation will be operational at the end of the first year for external use. Through three open calls (at month 12, month 24 and month 36) external experimenters will be attracted for using the CREW platform, leading to an open and demand-driven expansion of the federation and its usage. Along with the federation activities, a strong interaction with the FIRE coordination and support actions will be realized, hereby ensuring maximal compliance of the CREW platform to the overall vision of the FIRE facilities. Finally, the CREW project will implement a sustainability business model for exploitation of the federated testbed from year 4 on and beyond the project.

The MIROR Project deals with the development of an innovative adaptive system for music learning and teaching based on the reflexive interaction paradigm. The platform will be developed in the context of early childhood music education. It will act as an advanced cognitive tutor, designed to promote specific cognitive abilities in the field of music improvisation, both in formal learning contexts (kindergartens, primary schools, music schools) and informal ones (at home, kinder centres, etc.). The reflexive interaction paradigm is based on the idea of letting users manipulate virtual copies of themselves, through specifically designed machine-learning software referred to as interactive reflexive musical systems (IRMS). By definition IRMS are able to learn and configure themselves according to their understanding of learner&apos;s behaviour. We propose to extend the IRMS paradigm with the analysis and synthesis of multisensory expressive gesture to increase its impact on the musical pedagogy of young children, by developing new multimodal interface. The project will be based on a novel spiral design approach involving coupled interactions between the technical partners and the psycho-pedagogical ones. The project will integrate both psychological case-study experiments, aiming to experiment cognitive hypothesis concerning the mirroring behaviour and the learning efficacy of the platform, and validation studies aiming at developing the software in concrete educational settings. The project will contribute to promoting the reflexive interaction paradigm not only in the field of music learning but more generally as a new paradigm for establishing a synergy between learning and cognition in the context of child/machine interaction. The project mostly addresses target c) concerning the development of adaptive and innovative learning systems. However, objectives of target d) are also pursued through the development of a novel music learning appliance.
