The term “certification” has several different meanings in ICT. Software practitioners can earn a certificate for expertise in a certain hardware or software technology. The maturity of crucial IT processes, such as software development, can be and is often certified. Even individual software systems can be certified as having particular non-functional properties, including safety, security or privacy. However, the latter type of certification (e.g. Common Criteria) has had only a limited use to this day. Current trends in the IT industry suggest that software systems in the future will be very different from their counterparts today, due to greater adoption of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and the wider spread of the deployment of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). These trends point to large-scale, heterogeneous ICT infrastructures hosting applications that are dynamically built from loosely-coupled, well-separated services, where key non-functional properties like security, privacy, and reliability will be of increased and critical importance. In such scenarios, certifying software properties will be crucial. Current certification schemes, however, are either insufficient in addressing the needs of such scenarios or not applicable at all and thus, they cannot be used to support and automate run-time security assessment. As a result, today’s certification schemes simply do not provide, from an end-user perspective, a reliable way to assess the trustworthiness of a composite applications in the context where (and at the time when) it will be actually executed. ASSERT4SOA will fill this gap by producing novel techniques and tools – fully integrated within the SOA lifecycle – for expressing, assessing and certifying security properties for complex service-oriented applications, composed of distributed software services that may dynamically be selected, assembled and replaced, and running within complex and continuously evolving software ecosystems.

This project will investigate the hypothesis that dust clouds are a major source of charge separation and discharge processes in very low mass, extrasolar objects like M-dwarfs, Brown-Dwarfs, and planets. The aim is to model charging, dust formation and sedimentation in dusty media to understand how the atmospheric ionisation mechanisms change at the border from stars to planets in the M-dwarf--Brown-Dwarf transition region where radio emission starst to exceed X-ray emission, and to investigate the physics and the occurrence of intra-cloud lightning outside our solar system. Lightning is suggested to have triggered the occurrence of life on Earth. Dusty media are generally very common on Earth and in space, for example in volcano plumes that influence the local climate on Earth, on Mars where it blocks Mars-Rover's wheels, in dust-clouds in Brown Dwarfs and planets which determine their chemistry and their detectability, or in planet-forming disks. All have in common that dust of mixed composition is abundant in a turbulent environment in a variety of sizes. This project will perform a characterisation of dusty astrophysical plasma, systemically study charge separation processes and draw comparison to known scenarios in volcanos and Martian plasmas. The project determines stellar parameter and dust cloud characteristics (e.g. cloud height) for which dust cloud charging becomes important, and under which conditions lightning can occur. A charge conservation model will be coupled to a non-equilibrium chemistry to search for discharge-related molecules and for pre-biotic molecules that might occur during lightning. Applications to standard model atmospheres will be carried out to study the influence on the spectral energy distribution and the object's albedo. The long-term aim of this project is to solve the dust and charge conservation equations together with the magnetic field equations in order to study the development of radio emission in low-mass objects.

Mobile and embedded devices are rapidly evolving into powerful, ubiquitous personal assistants. As such, they will be involved in security-critical operations like authentication, payment, e-Banking and e-Government applications. Nevertheless, they have to be open platforms on which entertainment applications need to find their place. Being part of the Internet of Things, these platforms become an interesting target to attack and efficient security mechanisms are required to increase people’s and companies trust in them. The SEPIA project addresses these challenges and considers trustworthiness,security and protection capabilities of such devices as key enablers for new businesses and the integration of mobile platforms in the eEurope initiative. Establishing trust requires assessments from independent organisations. However,existing evaluation methodologies do not keep pace with the rapidly evolving mobile and embedded market. SEPIA will therefore focus on three topics: Security enhancements of mobile platforms,cryptography and privacy protecting technologies, delta-evaluation and certification methodologies. A major objective of SEPIA is to define a next-generation security-architecture for mobile and embedded systems, addressing topics such as isolated execution space, virtualization as well as secure protection of confidential data. Moreover, privacy protecting mechanisms based on strong cryptography and time- and cost efficient certification processes reducing the time from design to market will be researched in the project. In SEPIA, establishing trustworthiness is seen as an asset that is considered right from the design phase rather than being addressed as add-on feature.SEPIA will include theoretical and practical research as well as the development of proof-of-concept prototypes. All these efforts will result in the SEPIA reference platform which will be disseminated via demonstrators and as an open platform for further research and product development.

Go4Time will target the realization of a generic miniature timing module relying on the combination of an integrated circuit together with different MEMS resonators assembled hermetically in a single package. One of the main system feature is a temperature compensated low power real time clock mode with a power consumption below 1µW and a very tight frequency stability better than +-2ppm over an industrial temperature range. Owing to its combination with a higher frequency resonator and PLL techniques, the accurate reference is used to provide on-demand, a reconfigurable low jitter clock of high spectal purity at any frequency below 50MHz that could serve as a reference frequency for communication systems such as Bluetooth, GSM or wireless sensor networks. The project achievements will strengthen the global competitiveness of European industries in microsystems and smart miniaturised systems in the 3B$ timing market. The power aware scheme that is proposed will help meeting the green electronic challenge in consumer products and strengthen the competitiveness of the user industries by providing a generic solution with a much reduced bill of material.

SAIL’s objective is the research and development of novel networking technologies using proof-of-concept prototypes to lead the way from current networks to the Network of the Future. SAIL leverages state of the art architectures and technologies, extends them as needed, and integrates them using experimentally-driven research, producing interoperable prototypes to demonstrate utility for a set of concrete use-cases. SAIL reduces costs for setting up, running, and combining networks, applications and services, increasing the efficiency of deployed resources (e.g., personnel, equipment and energy). SAIL improves application support via an information-centric paradigm, replacing the old host-centric one, and develops concrete mechanisms and protocols to realise the benefits of a Network of Information (NetInf). SAIL enables the co-existence of legacy and new networks via virtualisation of resources and self-management, fully integrating networking with cloud computing to produce Cloud Networking (CloNe). SAIL embraces heterogeneous media from fibre backbones to wireless access networks, developing new signalling and control interfaces, able to control multiple technologies across multiple aggregation stages, implementing Open Connectivity Services (OConS). SAIL also specifically addresses cross-cutting themes and non-technical issues, such as socio-economics, inclusion, broad dissemination, standardisation and network migration, driving new markets, business roles and models, and increasing opportunities for both competition and cooperation. SAIL gathers a strong industry-led consortium of leading operators, vendors, SME, universities and research centres, with a valuable experience acquired in previous FP7 projects, notably 4WARD. The impact will be a consensus among major European operators and vendors on a well-defined path to the Network of the Future together with the technologies required to follow that path.

The WiserBAN project will create an ultra-miniature and ultra low-power RF microsystem for wireless Body Area Networks (BAN) targeting primarily wearable and implanted devices for healthcare, biomedical and lifestyle applications. The proposed research concerns the extreme miniaturization of the BAN with primarily the areas of ultra low-power radio SoC (System on Chip), RF and Low-frequency MEMS, miniature reconfigurable antennas, miniaturized SiP (System in Package), sensor signal processing and flexible communication protocols. The WiserBAN microsystem will be 50 times smaller than today’s radio modules for Personal Area Networks (PAN) solutions, e.g. Bluetooth, that can simply not be embedded in a variety of tiny implants and wearable applications. WiserBAN will thus enable significant take up by the European SME’s and industries in healthcare, bio-medical and lifestyle. WiserBAN will also create a major impact on the quality of life of the European Citizens, in particular for improving the comfort and access to ICT for impaired and disabled people of all ages carrying implants or wearing medical devices, hence reducing the risk of social exclusion.

Best-Reliable Ambient Intelligent Nanosensor Systems – e-BRAINS – represent a giant leap for outstanding future applications in the area of ambient living with the ultimate need for integration of heterogeneous technologies, high-performance nanosensor devices, miniaturization, smart wireless communication and best-reliability. e-BRAINS with minimum volume and weight as well as reduced power consumption can be utilized in ambient living systems. Successful market entry of such innovative ambient intelligence products will be determined by the performance improvement achieved and the cost advantage in relation to the total system cost. The basic requirement for robustness and reliability of the heterogeneous integration technologies and the nanosensor layers is in the focus of all e-BRAINS developments. The designated nanosensor systems represent a very promising innovative approach with the potential to enable high-performance and precise functions in new products. The application of nanotechnology will allow large improvements in functionality and will open a wide range of applications for European companies. Future e-BRAINS applications require significantly higher integration densities. Performance, multi-functionality and reliability of such complex heterogeneous systems will be limited mainly by the wiring between the subsystems. Suitable 3D integration technologies create a basis to overcome these drawbacks with the benefit of enabling minimal interconnection lengths. In addition to enabling high integration densities, 3D integration is a very promising cost-effective approach for the realization of heterogeneous systems. Besides the heterogeneous system integration the main criteria of e-BRAINS is the need for miniaturized energy storage/delivery systems, low power consumption, smart communication and methodology for reliability and robustness. e-BRAINS benefits from the established European 3D technology platform as major result of the IP e-CUBES.

The lighting industry worldwide faces a paradigm shift as a new era of lighting appears at the horizon: that is Solid State Lighting (SSL). Light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on inorganic semiconductors are mercury-free, have a long lifetime and instant on/off, can be colour tunable and most important: they will become the light source with the highest energy-efficiency in the near future. Thus, LEDs are able to outperform all existing light sources and reduce CO2 emissions significantly. Key success factor for the broad penetration of LEDs into the general lighting market is a solid state light source with high system efficiency &amp; high quality at moderate cost. This is the major objective addressed in this project which integrates research at major technological fronts: - New ceramic technologies for warm white LEDs with high colour quality - Innovative miniaturized multi-chip LED packages with high light output - Universally applicable &amp; highly efficient LED light engines and LED luminaires trough: a) Low-loss, small size electronics enabling colour steering and CCT-adapted dimming b) New concepts for no-noise active cooling c)Low-loss optics enabling perfect colour homogeneity and minimized colour fringes - Acceptance studies to define the term “quality” for LED solutions The concept of SSL4EU is to bundle various competencies across Europe with the aim to enable this new era of solid state lighting. The main objectives are: - Miniaturized LED packages with light outputs up to 4000 lm &amp; high colour quality white - Universally applicable LED light engines with: • System efficiency of &gt; 75% (&gt;100 lm/W in operation @ 3000 K) • Preferred emission spectrum with respect to application (home – shop – office) • CCT-adapted white light dimming •´Colour tunability (all colours to white, from 2000 to 6500K) These approaches will keep Europe at the forefront of the energy-saving SSL business and strengthen its position in the manufacturing supply.

iTEC is a large-scale pilot involving up to 1,000 classrooms focused on Learning in the 21st Century and the design of the future classroom. Partners include 15 Ministries of Education, leading ICT vendors, innovative SMEs, TEL researchers, teacher educators and experts in school validations and pedagogical evaluation. The key aim is to develop engaging scenarios for learning in the future classroom that can be validated in large-scale pilots and subsequently taken to scale. iTEC produces meaningful pedagogical scenarios (assisted by semantic web technology) for the future classroom and, from these, derives learning activities and new approaches to assessment that engage teachers, learners and stakeholders outside the school. These are then tested and evaluated in the largest pan-European validation with schools yet undertaken. The iTEC technology approach will make the technical components, (people, tools, services and content) required by the scenarios, interoperable and discoverable, so that teachers can more easily select and combine relevant components tailored to the future classroom scenario of their choice. This is in line with current trends in which teachers can choose from a wide variety of loosely coupled tools and where interactive whiteboards and other interactive, multi-touch technologies may be acting as a ‘gateway’ for teachers to start exploring the further use of digital technologies in their classrooms. Combined with this, iTEC will research the skills and competences needed by teachers in the future classroom and equip teachers, both within and beyond the project, with the pedagogical knowledge and skills needed to implement project scenarios. Having identified scenarios with the maximum potential to have a transformative effect on the design of the future classroom, the project will implement a mainstreaming strategy designed to ensure that work carried out in the large-scale pilots contribute to the educational reform process.
