PlanetData aims to establish a sustainable European community of researchers that supports organizations in exposing their data in new and useful ways. The ability to effectively and efficiently make sense out of the enormous amounts of data continuously published online, including data streams, (micro)blog posts, digital archives, eScience resources, public sector data sets, and the Linked Open Data Cloud, is a crucial ingredient for Europe&apos;s transition to a knowledge society. It allows businesses, governments, communities and individuals to take decisions in an informed manner, ensuring competitive advantages, and general welfare. Research will concentrate on three key challenges that need to be addressed for effective data exposure in a usable form at global scale. We will provide representations for stream-like data, and scalable techniques to publish, access and integrate such data sources on the Web. We will establish mechanisms to assess, record, and, where possible, improve the quality of data through repair. To further enhance the usefulness of data - in particular when it comes to the effectiveness of data processing and retrieval - we will define means to capture the context in which data is produced and understood - including space, time and social aspects. Finally, we will develop access control mechanisms - in order to attract exposure of certain types of valuable data sets, it is necessary to take proper account of its owner&apos;s concerns to maintain control and respect for privacy and provenance, while not hampering non-contentious use. We will test all of the above on a highly scalable data infrastructure, supporting relational, RDF, and stream processing, and on novel data sets exposed through the network, and derive best practices for data owners. By providing these key precursors, complemented by a comprehensive training, dissemination, standardization and networking program, we will enable and promote effective exposure of data at planetary scale.

Virtualised service platforms and cloud computing hold great promise for delivery of large applications in e-Government. However, to date, the fundamental shared-resource nature of virtualisation technologies has raised legitimate security concerns for Government and other organisations with duties to protect confidential data. The PASSIVE project proposes an improved model of security for such virtualised systems to ensure that: * adequate separation of concerns (e.g. policing, judiciary) can be achieved even in large scale deployments * threats from co-hosted operating systems are detected and dealt with; * public trust in application providers is maintained even in a hosting environment where the underlying infrastructre is highly dynamic To achieve these aims, the consortium proposes: * A policy-based Secuirty architecture, to allow security provisions to be easily specified, and efficiently addressed. * Fully virtualised resource access, with fine-grained control over device access, running on an ultra-lightweight Virtual Machine Manager. * A lightweight, dynamic system for authenticaiton of hosts and applications in a virtualised environment. In so doing, PASSIVE will lower the barriers to adoption of virtualised hosting by government users, so that they may acheive the considerable gains in energy effiiciency, reduced capital expenditure and flexibility offered by virtualisation.

Europe relies on the availability and flawless functioning of distributed infrastructures, such as electricity, water, communication, transportation, and environmental management. This infrastructure is based on distributed networked IT systems for monitoring and control. Technological innovation offers opportunities for more efficient infrastructure. Innovation in infrastructures and the resulting improvement in quality of life are hindered by the danger of upgrades: • in a new version, some of the existing functionality can be lost; • incompatibilities between the old and new version can result in major service outages; As it is infeasible to update the entire infrastructure at once, periods of coexistence between old and new components are inevitable. As a result, infrastructure upgrades are done only once the existing infrastructure performs below acceptable levels. Lowering the risk of infrastructure updates will benefit society, infrastructure operators, and the European systems vendors. All existing validation solutions do not take upgrades into account. A solution for validating upgrades is in dire need because of shorter product lifecycles and increasing complexity and scale of networked systems. PINCETTE will develop the technology to ensure safe infrastructure upgrades by validating continuously evolving networked software systems. PINCETTE will 1) reduce the cost and time to market of upgrades by several orders of magnitude; 2) increase the level of confidence in the safety of upgrades; 3) enable certification of upgrades. The PINCETTE consortium is composed of the leading European research experts and prominent infrastructure providers. The PINCETTE technology will be validated at: • ABB produces and sells components and systems used in utility, industrial, and public transportation infrastructures. A major share of the European power grid is built on ABB equipment. • VTT provides the monitoring and maintenance robot system for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. • IAI operates autonomous aircrafts for environmental monitoring, deployed worldwide.

Data and knowledge management technologies are of strategic importance for industrial innovation, provided they are integrated in the company processes, in the organisational structure, and can be flexibly adapted to company evolution. In particular the Product Development Process (PDP) of manufacturing companies, requires the efficient management of huge amounts of data from different sources and their integration in the subprocesses that compose the product chain. The efficient use of information lifecycle, by the large adoption of virtual testing and by the inter-functional management of related data in the product management would become a strategic advantage for the innovation race. Present ICT solutions separately address parts of product development, but an integrated approach that includes data and services required for the whole Product Development Process does not yet exist.iProd will improve the efficiency and quality of the Product Development Process developing a flexible, service oriented, customer driven software framework that will be the backbone of computer systems associated with current and new development processes. To achieve these goals, iProd will rely on knowledge management (KM), knowledge based engineering (KBE) and process integration and automation technologies.iProd will assume the challenge of complexity, semantic diversity and richness of content establishing semantically rich, open and transparent methodologies that will enable knowledge workers from aerospace, automotive and home appliances industries to manage product and process complexity, managing higher value information like functional specifications, requirements, decision rationale and engineering and business knowledge in general. This knowledge base along with a reasoning engine will support information sharing, collaboration across companies, common understanding of PDP among different industries and will promote efficient decision taking.

The goal of ARROWS is to develop a microengineered platform for the analysis of ‘real-world’ samples from the food, drink and healthcare industries. The principle deliverable will be a chip-scale capillary electrophoresis/liquid chromatography mass spectrometer (CE/LC-MS) that matches the performance of today’s mainframe systems. The ARROWS innovation is to integrate and interface multiple chip technologies into a platform capable of analysing messy, sticky biological matrices like tissue, food, blood and urine. Our vision is to offer users from the food, environmental and clinical sectors ‘more for less’ by delivering the functionality of a laboratory-scale, high-end CE/LC-MS system, which today is the size of a filing cabinet, in a mass-deployable tool the size of a desktop PC. Next-generation micro-analytical devices from Tyndall, Microsaic, VTT and CSEM will be combined into powerful, multi-sensing tools capable of identifying trace quantities of the chemical species of interest (e.g. pesticides, disease biomarkers) in complex biological matrices such as tissue, food and drinking water. Microsaic Systems will develop a MS based on patented ionchip technology. CE/LC/MS is a universal technique and analytical applications are unlimited. Initially, ARROWS will focus on two applications: (a) detection of cancer biomarkers in fractional spots found on tissue, and (b) screening of imported food for contamination. End-users Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and DEFRA will evaluate the platform. ARROWS utilizes the consortium’s ‘best-in-class’ capabilities to exploit the scaling laws associated with microfluidics, chip-based chromatography and electrophoresis and microengineered advanced mass spectrometry to minimise analysis time, sample volume and reduce manufacturing costs. These scaling laws address the cross-cutting issue of sustainability by reducing solvent consumption, waste and power consumption by orders of magnitude.

The cosmoIGM proposal aims at investigating the role of the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) as a cosmological probe and at exploiting the many IGM-related sinergies between observational cosmology, galaxy formation and fundamental physics. The IGM is a unique cosmological observable as it probes 3/4 of the present age of the universe, it contains up to 80% of the baryons and is sensitive to scales that are not measured by other data. In the last decade, astronomical data sets have started to be widely used by the scientific community to address important physical issues such as: the nature of the dark matter and dark energy components and their evolution; the physical properties of the baryonic matter; variation of fundamental constants; feedback processes by galaxies, etc. For example, results obtained from astronomical data are nowadays comparable to those obtained by ground based physics laboratories (e.g. neutrino masses). This proposal will rely on observations of the IGM at high and low redshift and will interpret them by means of state-of-the-art computational facilities in order to firmly establish the (yet controversial) role of the IGM as a probe for cosmology and fundamental physics. Moreover, we aim at exploring the galaxy-IGM interplay at a crucial stage of the cosmic history when the universe was few Gyrs old and star forming galaxies were strongly affecting the dynamical, thermal and chemical properties of the IGM. The hosting institution, Trieste Observatory, and the Trieste Area (ICTP, SISSA and Trieste University) have a long-standing expertise on the topics above. We foresee that the present interdisciplinary proposal will have a strong scientific impact and will help the P.I. to consolidate its independence and to create his first research team.

The formation of dark matter structures in our Universe can be explained by the standard cosmological model, but the populations of galaxies observed in the distant and nearby Universe pose major challenges to our understanding of galaxy formation. There is increasing recognition that the visible, baryonic part of galaxies does not passively follow the hierarchical build-up of dark halos. A large part of the baryons can be accreted from cold gas flows along the cosmic web. The evolution of galaxies could then be mostly driven by their internal evolution, in addition to interactions and mergers. Many scall-scale processes with major effects on galaxy evolution have been unveiled. They have, however, been studied mostly one by one, ignoring the large-scale cosmological environment. Conversely, cosmological models do not resolve the small-scale internal processes properly yet. This dramatically limits our understanding of galaxy formation. The project is to develop an multi-scale understanding of galaxy formation. We will build comprehensive numerical models of the small-scale gas physics and star formation processes in, and incorporate them in large-scale cosmological simulations. Taking benefit from the best forthcoming computing facilities, this will develop a new understanding of the role of internal physics and external processes in structuring galaxies. Theoretical predictions will be confronted to observations, preparing and using the next generation of instruments along the whole duration of the project. Owing to a uniquely comprehensive approach including physical processes at different scales and an original combination of theory, simulation and observation, a new understanding of the evolution of the baryons through cosmic times can emerge from the project.

In this project, we will develop a smart miniaturized system which integrates optical fiber sensor technology, nano-photonic chip technology and low power wireless technology. The smart system will enable for the first time fully embedded structural health monitoring of composites used as structural parts in e.g. wind turbine blades, satellites, airplanes, civil constructions, oil and gas wells, boat hulls. Due to the innovative approach of integrating micro-technologies, SMARTFIBER will demonstrate a smart system so small (order mm&apos;s) that it can be embedded as a whole in the fiber reinforced polymer. As such, the system takes away the main technical roadblock for the industrial uptake of optical fiber sensors as structural health monitoring technology in composite structures: embedding of both fiber sensor and fiber interrogator omits the fragile external fiber coupling to an external interrogator. SMARTFIBER will drive ICT to make truly intelligent composites. The technologies to be integrated –optical fiber Bragg grating sensors, nano-photonic chip technology and low power wireless technology- have all proven practicability. SMARTFIBER envisages the high risk of integrating the technologies to a system that both complies with the composite manufacturing process and performs well when embedded in a fiber reinforced polymer. The technology will be integrated and demonstrated in a real production environment. The large industrial involvement in SMARTFIBER is significant. The value chain of the microsystem is fully covered by the partners’ activities. This strategy gives industrial take-up and commercial development of the technology a huge chance. The smart miniaturized systems will provide the user a continuous record of structural data which will inform decisions on maintenance, thereby obviating the need for expensive, periodic maintenance, as well as warning of potentially catastrophic mechanical failures, increasing safety remarkably.

European research cannot ignore key questions on energy consumption of communication networks, like: “Is the current growth of energy consumption in telecom infrastructures sustainable?”; “Can we generate and transport enough electricity to provide 100 Mb/s access to all in metropolitan areas?”; “Are optical technologies more energy-friendly than electronics?”; “Is the Internet protocol suite needlessly wasting energy?” The TREND NoE aims at integrating the activities of major European players to quantitatively asses the energy demand of current and future telecom infrastructures, and to design energy-efficient, scalable and sustainable future networks, considering both the backbone, and the wireless and wired access segments. Multi-lateral research activities in TREND will take a holistic approach to energy-efficient networking, by: • collecting data to assess the power consumption of terminals, devices and infrastructures, to quantify the current energy needs and their expected evolution and scaling laws; • identifying energy-friendly technologies, devices, protocols and architectures, and evaluating how they can be introduced in operational networks; • defining new energy-aware network design criteria, balancing the attention to optimal performance and resource allocation with the minimization of energy requirements; • experimentally proving the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. The TREND consortium comprises equipment manufacturers, network operators, and university research centers with complementary expertise, and with strong previous involvements and worldwide reputation in matters related to energy consumption in networking. Their synergistic work and dissemination activities in TREND will raise the consciousness on the environmental impact of network infrastructures, and will provide guidelines for an energy-aware evolution of the Internet, thereby reinforcing the leading European position in designing a sustainable future.
