In the Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, and Germany, national networks exist of collaborating excellent research groups in the areas of multimedia content analysis (MCA) and social and peer-to-peer (SP2P) networks. The Network of Excellence PetaMedia brings these four strong national networks together, at first to form a European network of national networks, and eventually to establish a sustainable European virtual centre of excellence to which research groups throughout Europe can connect. The four core partners of the project represent and coordinate the respective national networks; they are responsible for linking up EU national partners to the NoE. The purpose of joining four national networks is to achieve larger momentum, to integrate available resources, and to further develop complementary expertise necessary for pushing new paradigms in enabling efficient and effective access to multimedia content in emerging network structures. The collective research effort that thus comes available will be directed towards integration of existing MCA and SP2P technologies, and towards identification and exploration of potentials and limitations of MCA/SP2P combinations. A particular scientific challenge that binds the partners is the synergetic combination of user-based collaborative tagging, peer-to-peer networks and multimedia content analysis. Solutions and collaborative research field trials will be built on the coordinating partner’s open source P2P software Tribler. The NoE will foster the linking up of researchers in the area of MCA and SP2P, resulting in a closer and harmonized collaboration at both European and national level. It is the ambition of the NoE to become an internationally renowned research centre with impact on national and European research funds in the MCA/SP2P area. The centre also takes up the challenge to create international research proposals based on complementary expertise of partners in national research networks (www.petamedia.org).

Smart-Vei project aims to design, develop a portable “predictive-adaptive” learning system. Vehicles equipped with the Smart-Vei system will be able to provide an intelligent driver-assistance; the Smart-Vei will be a portable devices able to detect and report characteristics and attitudes related to the driver’s profile. The system will be a learning system as it will build the user profile (reported in the VEI-Pod device) by storing, monitoring, and analysis the user’s behaviour while driving. The intelligent component of the system will use descriptive and explicative models for the car driver behaviour and profile building. The Smart-Vei will be able to provide innovative control strategies based on the best input and cues (or other classes of services) to be provide to the specific user. The decision support system of the Smart-Vei will merge information from the users (real time state and behaviour track record) together with the information from the road environment and the vehicle itself. Smart-Vei has been designed to be an effective driver-assistance system. In fact driver-assistance system has to continuously monitor not just the surrounding environment and vehicle state but also the driver’s behaviours. That way, if a dangerous situation occurs that requires intervention, the vehicle can recognize it and accurately alert the driver. Moreover an intelligent driver-assistance should provide support to the driver in a smart way: a rich and user-friendly informative environment without adding the driver’s workload. In developing systems that proactively assist drivers (and occupants), human intent is a critical piece of information for determining whether the system’s actions will help or hinder the user. By design a system with a lighter alerting mechanism in some instances, an alert might not arrive when the system encounters a situation beyond its design specifications.

Individuals in the Information Society want to protect their autonomy and retain control over personal information, irrespective of their activities. Information technologies hardly consider those requirements, thereby putting the privacy of the citizen at risk. Today, the increasingly collaborative character of the Internet enables anyone to compose service and contribute and distribute information. Individuals will contribute throughout their life leaving a life-long trail of personal data. This raises substantial new privacy challenges: A first technical challenge is how to protect privacy in emerging Internet applications such as collaborative scenarios and virtual communities. A second challenge is how to maintain life-long privacy. PrimeLife will resolve the core privacy and trust issues pertaining to these challenges. Its long-term vision is to counter the trend to life-long personal data trails data without compromising on functionality. We will build upon and expand the sound foundation of the FP6 project PRIME that has shown how privacy technologies can enable citizens to execute their legal rights to control personal information in on-line transactions. Resolving these issues requires substantial progress in many underlying technologies. PrimeLife will substantially advance the state of the art in the areas of human computer interfaces, configurable policy languages, web service federations, infrastructures and privacy-enhancing cryptography. PrimeLife will ensure that the community at large adopts privacy technologies. To this effect PrimeLife will work with the relevant Open Source communities and standardisation bodies, and partner projects. It will further organise workshops with interested parties such as partner projects to transfer technologies and concepts. This will also validate the project’s results on a large scale. European industry will be strengthened by providing building blocks for trustworthy treatment of customers’ data.

CompanionAble adresses the issues of social inclusion and homecare of persons suffering from chronic cognitive disabilities prevalent among the elderly, a rapidly increasing population group. Those people need support of carers and are at risk of social exclusion, yet this problem not well addressed by ICT technology, but would lead to a social and economical pressure for staying at home as long as possible. The main unique selling point of the CompanionAble project lies in the synergetic combination of the strengths of a mobile robotic companion with the advantages of a stationary smart home, since neither of those approaches alone can accomplish the demanding tasks to be solved. Positive effects of both individual solutions shall be combined to demonstrate how the synergies between a stationary smart home solution and an embodied mobile robot companion can make the care and the care person’s interaction with her assistive system significantly better. Starting with a profound requirements engineering for ICT-supported care and therapy management for the care persons, basic technologies for multimodal user observation and human-machine interaction will provide the fundamentals for the development of a stationary smart home assistive system and a mobile robot assistant, building the cornerstones of the overall system integrating the promising solutions of both parts. Substantial support comes from the research activities focusing on an architectural framework, allowing such a complex care scenario solution be achievable. After the realization of the respective scenarios, long lasting field experiments will be carried out to evaluate and test the system, and both scenarios can be evaluated to show their strength and weaknesses. This will initiate the development of an overall, integrated care scenario (smart home with embedded robot companion). The realization of this integrated care concept is to be seen as the in-principal vision of CompanionAble.

ANSWER is a new approach to the creative process of film and game production. Musicians and choreographers have long been able to express their intentions using logical symbolic structures (music notation and dance notation), yet those working in the movie industry and the games industry have to rely on cartoons and verbal description, and the only record of their artistry is the result itself. The film and games industries are converging in the way that their creative content is perceived by consumers; ANSWER will produce a notation system for describing the creation of multimedia content, thus offering a bridge between digital media production and animation for game design. Development of a successful notation becomes appropriate today because of its dependence upon the parallel development of effective notation-based tools to support the artist in visualisation of their intention, communication to other members of the production team, and analysis of the production process, whilst still maintaining control of their creative intention. To achieve our objective, in addition to the development of DirectorNotation to symbolically describe creative intention, ANSWER will develop tools for automatic generation of animated pre-visualisations for film and game pre-production from the notation itself and from metadata which is extracted from the Director's initial input. An interface will be created to allow the Director to work imaginatively with the notation as it is authored, and an iterative scheme is introduced to ensure that developments of ideas and the realities of the actual production are reflected in the final notation description. Professional users from the film production and games production industry are integral partners in the project, which will ensure that we work together towards a common goal and are not dominated by technological considerations before artistic needs.

As miniaturization of the CMOS technology advances designers will have to deal with increased variability and changing performance of devices. Intrinsic variability of devices which begins to be visible in 65nm devices already will become much more significant in smaller technologies. Soon it will not be possible to design systems using current methods and techniques. Scaling beyond the 32 nm technology node brings a number of problems whose impact on design has not been evaluated yet. Random intra-die process variability, reliability degradation mechanisms and their combined impact on the system level parametric quality metrics are becoming prominent issues. Dealing with these new challenges will require an adaptation of the current design process: a combination of design time and runtime techniques and methods will be needed to guarantee the correct functioning of Systems on Chip (SoC) over the product’s lifetime, despite the fabrication in unreliable nano-scale technologies. The objective of this project is to develop design techniques and methods for real-time guaranteed, energy-efficient, robust and self-adaptive SoCs. The technological challenges to be tackled are: (a) Increased static variability and static fault rates of devices and interconnects; (b) Increased time-dependent dynamic variability and dynamic fault rates. (c) Build reliable systems out of unreliable technology while maintaining design productivity; (d) Deploy design techniques that allow technology scalable energy efficient SoC systems while guaranteeing real-time performance constraints. In order to tackle these challenges we focus our effort along two main axes: (a) Analysis of the system in terms of performance, power and reliability of manufactured instances across a wide spectrum of operating conditions. (b) Solution techniques to mitigate impact of reliability issues of integrated circuits, at component, circuit, and architecture and system design.

The project GAP focuses on the area of « Patient safety and risk assessment » of the challenge 5 of FP7-ICT. It addresses, via specific workshops and studies, all aspects of risk prediction, evaluation of risk factors, evaluation and management tools designed for the preparation of means that allows an intervention in real situations. The project will evaluate insofar as possible all current solutions resulting from civil and military research on computerized decision-making on the topic of crisis management and, more specifically, major health crises. The results of the project will add to the decision-making potential of the unit of information collection on health crises (Emergency Operations Facility of the Directorate General of Health and Consumer Protection) which brings together a range of computerized tools for the collection and transmission of information (H.E.O.F). The primary goal of this project is to bring together the emergent concepts which will permit us in the near future to predict, study, control and remedy the most complex of crises, those that jeopardise health. The challenge is to build a genuine system of health and social defence, and its components (concept, organisation, personnel, equipment, training..), at the European and world levels. The project results should facilitate the creation of this system. At the same time, the partners are aware of the importance of the political decision and commitment. For this reason , GAP is driven from High level representatives of HealthCare Ministries of EU countries and Associated States (Israel). The consortium and the experts associated with the Support Action GAP represent both of the complementary poles of excellence for the successful execution of this mission.

Many point tools exist to optimize particular aspects of embedded systems. However, an overall design space exploration framework is needed to combine all the decisions into a global search space, and a common interface to the optimization and evaluation tools. The MULTICUBE project focuses on the definition of an automatic multi-objective Design Space Exploration (DSE) framework to be used to tune the System-on-Chip architecture for the target application evaluating a set of metrics (e.g. energy, latency, throughput, bandwidth, QoR, etc.) for the next generation embedded multimedia platforms. To support both the static and the run-time design exploration flow, the MULTICUBE project will develop a multi-level system specification and modeling framework to provide static and dynamic evaluation of the system-level metrics. The design methodology will be implemented at system-level in a set of open-source and proprietary EDA tools to guarantee a large exploitation of the results of the MULTICUBE project in the embedded system design community. The overall goal is to support the competitiveness of European industries by optimizing embedded hardware/software systems while reducing the design time and costs. The MULTICUBE project is strongly industry-driven: two European industrial partners (STM-Italy and DS2) and STM-China will define the requirements of the design tools and validate step-by-step the results of the exploration tools to design a set of target industrial applications. The integration of design tools and the commercial exploitation of the tools will be done by an European SME, ESTECO. ALARI will be mainly in charge of the dissemination and exploitation activities. The research and technological development will mainly be done by IMEC, Politecnico di Milano, Universidad de Cantabria and the Institute of Computing Technology - Chinese Academy of Sciences. Politecnico di Milano will play the role of project management and coordination

The WINDS-Caribe project aims at contributing to the building a cohesive Information Society in the Caribbean region by deepening strategic cooperation between Europe and the Caribbean in ICT RandD issued; it will help to involve Caribbean actors in a multinational community that will involve all the relevant stakeholders (researchers, policy makers, users) that deal with ICT and that will define the key issues on which cooperation should focus through an open consultation process. The project will: 1. Build the observation and analysis capacity required to identify issues of common benefit on which EU-Caribe collaboration should focus and excellence actors from the Caribbean region be involved in EU-funded research; 2. Guarantee that information on and results of European IST research are shared, disseminated, adapted and transferred to a number of research, policy and practice actors dealing with technology applications in the Caribbean; 3. Build a web-based collaborative exchange, learning and working environment for high-level research, industry and government administrators, civil society, the research community at EU and Caribe); 4. Raise awareness of policy makers in the EU and in the Caribbean about ICT cooperation and results and facilitate dialogue among policy makers, companies, civil society and the research community; 5. Establish, through an open consultation mechanism, a roadmap for future technology research in a EU-Caribe long-term collaboration perspective. The project will complement an ongoing project named WINDS Latin America, that runs the same activities focusing on the Latin-American region, and will extend to the Caribbean region the impact of WINDS-LA, by adapting all the existing services (culturally, linguistically and technologically) to the Caribbean needs and state of the art. The fact that the two projects share the coordinators and one EU partner will ensure synergies both in terms of costs and of policy relevance.
