Life expectancy increases, and the wish to prolong independent living remains strong. The objective of the MOBISERV project is to develop a proactive personal service robotics for supporting independent living. The project will develop a personalized system, orchestrating vital signs recording and analysis, warnings, and alerts to health and emergency assistance networks. Existing solutions are closed to external developers and address only few problems pertinent to the elderly. MOBISERV will deliver a robotic prototype of an open standard-based personal platform capable of sensing the user’s personal environment and adapting to the user’s patterns of behaviour. By early detection of threatening environmental and/or emerging medical conditions, harmful consequences will be mitigated by issuing warnings and providing guidance; in case adverse events cannot be evaded, alarms will be issued. The platform will be an integration of innovative components delivered by the project and of existing standards-compliant technologies. Innovative wireless (bio-) sensor-actuators, localisation and communication technologies, smart textiles and clothing and a wearable solution hosting monitoring equipment will be integrated into an existing robotic platform capable of self-learning and able to support elderly in indoor contexts. Tele-alarm applications will be developed to enhance health and integrated care services. A user-centred participatory design process will be adopted, with iterative design and evaluation. The system will be evaluated under real life conditions.

QoSMOS is a 3-year Integrated Project that aims at researching, developing and integrating a Cognitive Radio (CR) framework to enable mobile broadband systems to improve utilisation of licensed and/or unlicensed bands, by adding dynamic exploitation of under-utilised spectrum. The technical focus is on opportunistic use of spectrum combined with managed Quality of Service (QoS) and seamless mobility. Efficient use of spectrum and energy, co-existence with and protection of other services, a good and affordable user experience, and opening up of the mobile markets are the driving forces behind QoSMOS. A new two-tier process is proposed for spectrum management to simplify, and hence reduce the cost of, the access network management system and yet provide managed QoS. New dynamic spectrum sensing and usage metrics are required so that decisions can be taken on spectrum occupancy. Mobility is enhanced by new hand-off processes that can include pre-assignment of resources. System simulations and test-beds will be used for proving and assessing the cognitive algorithms and wireless hardware technology innovations. The result will be the availability of a CR framework with rules that can be adapted for different regulatory regimes and stakeholders prepared for its exploitation. QoSMOS is timely because spectrum policy is becoming increasingly liberalised and stakeholders are pressing for its exploitation. Regulators, government, manufacturers, network operators, service providers and users are expecting an impact from the technology. The 2011 World Radio Conference is mid-way through the project where exploitation decisions for Europe will be taken. The framework and mechanisms developed in QoSMOS will adapt to the different regulatory domains across Europe. Barriers to new mobile markets will be lowered, enabling new business opportunities right across the value chain from vendors to service providers, which will be equally beneficial to all European countries.

Governments struggle to regulate an increasingly interdependent and complex world, as the financial crisis has shown. At the same time, citizens are becoming more vocal in monitoring and influencing policy decisions. Future scenarios are likely to show greater complexity and citizens’ involvement. Current ICT tools for collaborative governance and policy modelling start to show great opportunities for decision-making in a complex world, but they still remain an exception rather than the rule, and research is fragmented between academic fields, application areas, and approaches to innovation (theory vs. practice led). CROSSROAD will deliver a research roadmap on ICT for governance and policy modelling, in order to orient towards a common goal the different communities of research actors, domains and sectors. It will create a shared vision and an operational tool to support research policy and research implementation in this field. The roadmap will be based on a cross-analysis of present research directions and future scenarios of collaborative governance, including possibilities for disruptive scenarios of extreme collaboration. It will be presented as a self-standing report and as an online, dynamic knowledge base. The CROSSROADS partners, with unparalleled experience in e-government and e-governance, web 2.0 and roadmapping, will involve a wide pool of expertise through an open, iterative, multi-method approach including in depth desk research, restricted workshops and large scale web consultations, in order to reach out to specialist research activities beyond the traditional e-government stakeholders and beyond Europe.

UncertWeb will create the Uncertainty enabled Model Web by allowing interoperability between data and models with quantified uncertainty, building on existing open, international standards. In particular UncertWeb will develop encoding standards, service interface profiles, discovery and chaining mechanisms and open source implementations, and generic tools to realize a 'model Web' that takes uncertainty in data and models fully into account. The developments in UncertWeb will be validated by scenarios from four environmental application domains: biodiversity and habitat change, land use and policy modelling, local air quality forecasting, and individual activity in the environment. In each application domain prototype service chains will be built using UncertWeb technology. To further evaluate the discovery and chaining mechanisms UncertWeb will integrate the air quality and activity modelling to produce novel service chains that quantify individual exposure and the effects of individual's activity choices on emissions with quantified uncertainty. The project will deliver encoding standards, interface profiles and open source software implementations to allow continued development of the Uncertainty enabled model Web beyond the funding.

IPTV provides telecommunication operators the opportunity to better serve the video market and better compete with the industry transition to HD (High Definition) and unicast video (e.g. Video on Demand), both creating challenges to the existing CATV (Cable TV) and SAT (Satellite) providers. One of the main challenges in IPTV is the line rate of the access lines, which is predominantly ADSL. OptiBand will focus on optimizing the bandwidth of IPTV for the delivery of multiple HD streams over a single ADSL line, and by that enabling multiple HD channels per household. OptiBand will conduct in-depth research and development regarding the efficient distribution of video content using smart data drop algorithm within the telecommunication aggregation networks, while preserving quality of experience according to both objective and subjective metrics. While preserving existing IPTV networks models and leaving existing infrastructures intact, OptiBand will introduce innovative technology of encoding, streaming and transporting of video content from head-end sites, through the entire IPTV network, down to the home networks. The consortium will conduct design, development, integration and demonstration of the video content data dropping algorithm. The video content data dropping algorithm technology will be introduced through simulations, lab integration and trial by real IPTV users in Telecom Italy. In the global economy environment, cost optimization and investment protection are mandatory requirements for any business decision. Therefore, leveraging the European and worldwide existing ADSL deployments and providing seamless integration to existing solutions and encryption schemes are keys to the success of OptiBand. OptiBand consortium gathers leading operator, vendors and research entities in order to consider the entire IPTV network, including economical aspects, of delivering premium video content over existing installed base.

The vision of the GAMES project is for a new generation of energy efficient IT Service Centres. With the unprecedented digitisation of business and government processes across Europe, energy efficiency of IT Systems and IT Service Centres is dramatically emerging as one of the most critical environmental challenges to be dealt with. A first yet partial answer to the energy challenges is offered by the emerging IT Service Centre paradigm, in which the available computing resources are shared by several different users. However, current tools and methods for assessing and managing energy efficiency at the IT Service Centre level were designed to operate in isolation, not taking into account all the interrelations between the different layers (business/applications, infrastructure, facility) and the effect of these interrelations on energy consumption. The GAMES project aims at developing a set of innovative methodologies and Open Source ICT tools for designing and managing energy efficiency in IT Service Centres, by combining all the three above layers. This will be done by: 1) delivering a methodology and a web toolset for the holistic design of green IT service centres, trading-off Quality of Service, performance, virtual and physical resource allocation and overall energy efficiency, 2) enriching the GAMES toolset by implementing advanced algorithms for closely aligning applications&apos; demands for power with the resource availability, and combining these algorithms with data mining technologies; 3) complementing these tools and methodology with a run-time environment for integrated sensing, monitoring and adaptive control, capable of assessing in real time to a what extent the implemented course of actions will improve energy efficiency. The main expected outcome will be to increase energy efficiency in IT Service Centres by up to 25%. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions will be validated through extensive real life testbeds located in Italy and Germany.

MONARCA will develop and validate solutions for multi-parametric, long term monitoring of behavioural and physiological information relevant to bipolar disorder. It will combine those solutions with an appropriate platform and a set of services into an innovative system for management, treatment, and self-treatment of the disease. The MONARCA system will be designed to comply with all relevant security, privacy and medical regulations, will pay close attention to interoperability with existing medical information systems, will be integrated into relevant medical workflows, and will be evaluated in a statistically significant manner in clinical trials.The MONARCA system will consists of 5 components: a sensor enabled mobile phone, a wrist worn activity monitor, a novel “sock integrated” physiological (GSR, pulse) sensor, a stationary EEG system for periodic measurements, and a home gateway. It will combine GPS location traces, physical motion information, and recognition of complex activities (nutrition habits, household activity, amount and quality of sleep) into a continuously updated behavioural profile. Physiological information from the “GSR sock”, the periodic EEG measurements, voice analysis from mobile phone conversations, and motion analysis will provide an assessment of emotional state and mood. Combining this information with patients medical records and established psychiatric knowledge quantitative assessment of patients condition (expressed in Psychiatric Rating Scales like BRAM or HAMD) and prediction of depressive and manic episodes will be implemented. Closing the loop between the system and the patient an interface for self assessment (on the basis of the above information), provision of warnings and risk profiles and a coaching concept for self treatment will be implemented. For the medical staff, interfaces for interpreting the data, therapy assessment and therapy planning tools (scheduling visits, planning medication) will be developed.

Over the last few years successful coordination activities have been undertaken within the academic and industrial robotics communities (EURON and EUROP), but both communities still struggle with overcoming some remaining gaps: the community-internal gaps of confusion about terminology, suboptimally coordinated transfer of research visions, technology and people, and the limited coordinated communication with both the general public and professional audiences. This includes the popular science media, European Commission, national funding bodies, and representatives from neighbouring technology and market domains, such as cognitive science, mechatronics, automotive, aerospace, security, computer vision, embedded control systems. This projects ambition is to create sustainable solutions to all of the above-mentioned gaps, following a policy of targeted stimulation of relevant grass-roots initiatives that both communities have already experimented with during the last couple of years, but that have previously seen little success because of a lack of committed, professional and coordinated support. The driver behind these stimulations will always be the robotics industry (since its needs for innovation and strong positioning in the worldwide robotics market are greatest), but the academic research community will be heavily involved via a system of flexible, targeted expert contributions whose short-term benefits are easy to identify and communicate. The following activities are planned: improved industry-academia cooperation by giving more structure to commonly organised events (administration, annual meetings, web portal on Robotics in Europe, advanced training, roadmapping, and entrepreneurship advocacy) and by coordinated communication to the general public (press releases, visibility at major robotics events worldwide, robotics competitions related to the shared research and development roadmap, laymans explanation of robotics technology in combination with semantic search support on the web portal).

ETICS aims at creating a new ecosystem of innovative QoS-enabled interconnection models between Network Service Providers allowing for a fair distribution of revenue shares among all the actors of the service delivery value-chain. To this end, we will propose and analyze new business and regulatory models for converged infrastructures, taking into account applications’ QoS constraints and incentives for carriers to invest and collaborate to the deployment of advanced high quality network interconnections. This will provide new market and revenue opportunities enabling innovative blended services and new high performance demanding applications. To achieve these objectives, ETICS will analyse, specify and implement new network control, management and service plane technologies for the automated end-to-end QoS-enabled service delivery across heterogeneous carrier networks. ETICS includes a large number of partners that, participating to several key projects, have matured strong expertises. ETICS prototypes on control, management, and service planes will also leverage an important background on implementations and performance assessment. They will allow demonstrating and testing the effectiveness of new business models as well as how agile network service creation, activation, monitoring and billing for interconnected fixed and mobile operators will improve time to market of new services and reduce operational costs and complexity. Therefore, increasing the economic efficiency of access and transport infrastructures, the transition to new generation equipments will be incentivized. ETICS validated new business models, architectures and protocols will be demonstrated and disseminated at key scientific and industrial workshops, conferences and standard bodies on technical, business, regulatory and socioeconomic aspects, providing a clear opportunity for Europe to take the lead on future converged infrastructures based on Internet/NGN evolutions.
