SUCCESS targets to develop a technology platform and best-practice design methods to enable the breakthrough of silicon mm-Wave SoCs for high-volume applications. Silicon technology (CMOS, SiGe) has made tremendous progress towards ever higher device cut-off frequencies. Nowadays all RF components for mm-Wave sensing applications up to 120 GHz can be realized in silicon. Silicon technology hence allows integration of mm-Wave circuitry and digital logic for the realization of a true “mm-Wave System-on-Chip” (SoC). The mm-wavelengths allow mm-size antennas which potentially enable miniaturized wireless sensors systems with the size and form factor of an IC package. However several challenges make it difficult to arrive at real low cost. Firstly no true low-cost mm-wave packaging technologies with antenna-integration are available. Furthermore challenges in mm-wave SoC design arise in form of imprecise modelling and device variations. In addition production testing at such high-frequency is extremely expensive, time consuming, and error prone. SUCCESS is an initiative of 9 major industrial and excellent academic organisations. It represents a vertically integrated consortium bringing together semiconductor foundries, design houses, high-frequency packaging experts and industrial end users. The consortium encompasses universities, research institutions, SMEs and large industrial entities. Three topics will be addressed in the project: 1. Development of a low-cost System-In-Package (SiP) technology and design platform with integrated antennas 2. mm-Wave System-on-Chip (SoC) design methodology 3. mm-Wave Built-In Self Test (BIST) and novel SiP test methodology The results will be demonstrated in a 122 GHz miniaturized sensor system, realized as surface mount component using plastic package technology.

I²GPS will develop a novel, integrated approach to the use of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR- data from GMES) and GNSS for use in the monitoring of subsidence, tectonic changes or other environmental hazards, which can only be identified by millimetric precision survey techniques. I²GPS proposes to deliver a fully integrated unit and end-to-end application for generating co-registered SAR interferometric and GNSS precision survey results by: • integrating the antenna of a GNSS receiver with a Compact Active Transponder antenna to ensure millimetric co-registration and assure a coherent cross reference between the two precision surveying techniques, with unit verification confirmed at the mid term review ; • developing the integrated application processing and conduct field trials to confirm the effectiveness of the technique, to be reported at the final review; • preparing a business plan for exploiting the resulting product and reporting the results to the user community, thereby increasing the use of GNSS & GMES. The project responds to an identified user need; the Geological Survey of Slovenia needs an early warning system for landslide hazards, such as that which “erased” a village and resulted in 8 casualties. The work plan captures the user requirement and encompasses field trials to validate the prototype unit and application processing development. Integration of a C-band CAT)with GNSS technology progresses beyond the state of the art but, because of the expertise of the team assembled, is sufficiently close to existing equipment & processing to give a high likelihood of success within the budget proposed. The partners believe that I²GPS will increase the market for both GNSS and GMES and are committed to the exploitation of the unit and application after the conclusion of the project.

PREVE is a Support Action identifying ICT research directions for disease prevention. The proposal focuses on primary prevention, because the market for PHS based services in secondary prevention is already emerging. Also, the focus will be on the ways and means by which an individual can be a producer of health with the support of health professionals (when needed). The work will be guided by a tentative intervention model that comprises: (1) entry points or trigger events that provide a window of opportunity for starting prevention actions, (2) a personal profile based on life stage, behavior, risk factors etc., (3) a personalized intervention strategy that engages individuals as it guides, enables and motivates them in health management. Issues that will be considered in identifying the ICT research directions include: 1) prevalence of preventable diseases; 2) best practices for disease prevention; 3) user segmenting based on life stages, preferences, behavior / motivation, clinical risk factors; 4) ICT systems used in uncontrolled environments; 5) validation (proof of value); and 6) sustainable business models. The work plan comprises three phases. In Phase 1 the most prevalent diseases are selected. These are analysed for the established best practice in their primary prevention. In Phase 2 personalization needs of the intervention model (e.g. user segmentation by different criteria and motivational issues) are analyzed. This includes also an analysis of past and ongoing PHS projects and the market to learn from their secondary prevention ideas and solutions. In Phase 3 implementation issues are studied, i.e. how the response ability of individuals in primary prevention can be facilitated with ICT. This includes an analysis of business models for ICT supported disease prevention, value network relations between the actors and stakeholders and ways for value creation and validation of value.The final deliverable is a White Paper outlining ICT research directions for primary prevention. A multidisciplinary Advisory Panel has been assembled. It will be used to comment and critique the deliverables of the project in their draft stages. The intermediate results will also be discussed and evaluated in three workshops with invited experts.

Over the last decade, there has been an exponential growth in the number of cardiac implantable devices, in their electronic and software complexity widening their function and application. However, due to their limited processing capabilities restricted by their size, CIEDs need to be supported with software running on the data centers. Currently, the data center processing is standalone with their custom software and proprietary interfaces. iCARDEA will expose CIED data through standard interfaces to develop an intelligent platform to semi-automate the follow-up of CIED patients with context-aware, adaptable computer interpretable clinical guideline models. The computer interpretable guideline models to be developed will be designed from re-usable building blocks to facilitate personalization of the patient care and follow-up workflow. The CIED data will be exposed through standard interfaces based on the HL7, ISO/IEEE 11073 standards and the IHE IDCO Profile. EHR interoperability will be achieved by exposing legacy EHR systems through standard HL7 CDA interfaces so that information about patients’ medical history such as the non-cardiac conditions denoting contraindications to the proposed therapies can be obtained from the patient EHR data and used in the clinical follow-up workflow. The clinical guidelines will automate the risk assessment and hence support medical professionals by automatically assessing the situations and generating alarms. iCARDEA will introduce outcome indicators with the related steps of the clinical guidelines to measure the success of the care process so that it can be combined with expert feedback to achieve a closed-loop system. The patients will be empowered with Personal Health Records (PHR) to enable informed and responsible participation in the process and for their education. iCARDEA platform will provide comprehensive security and privacy mechanisms and will be validated in a hospital in Austria with CIEDs from two major vendors.

The European antenna research received great benefits from the structuring efforts provided by the Network of Excellence ACE (2004-2007). The ACE NoE produced a long list of outstanding results, such as the Antenna Expert Groups (AEG), the European School of Antennas (ESoA), the European Conferences on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP), the Antenna Virtual Centre of Excellence (VCE) and the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) joined by over 300 European institutions and 1700 researchers etc. (see www.antennasvce.org). In this frame, the CARE Coordination Action is aimed at reinforcing the existing cooperation among the antenna research teams across Europe and provides the framework for a better collaboration among the research projects dealing with antennas and wireless technologies in Health, Transport, Security and Space applications. In particular the CARE objectives are: • to improve the knowledge exchange, by secondments among the AEG and in the ESoA • to promote good practices in antenna software and measurements standardisation • to support the dissemination, by sessions convened by the AEG in the EuCAP Conference • to keep alive the Antennas Virtual Centre of Excellence for information spreading. Moreover, CARE will continue the existing coordination, started during ACE, with the National Societies in antenna research (CIRMA, IET, ITG, REsA, SEE, SIEm, SITEL etc.) in order to create synergies with the national research projects and to improve the European excellence in antenna research. The Consortium is composed by top level institutions of the European antenna research area. Each CARE Participant will also act as the national or regional hub for the distribution of the CARE results.

The driving idea behind DRAGON is to research and use new design methodologies and architectural innovation based on reconfigurability and state-of-the-art digital CMOS technology to break the barriers imposed by the lacking scaling properties of analog components. Radio transceivers serve as an exemplary case with high impact value. With this concept we seek to achieve distinct reductions in cost, size and energy consumption for multi-standard cellular handsets, and other products employing similar technology, while meeting higher demands on data rate. Increased data rates require the energy consumption per transmitted or received data bit to be reduced, both to save energy and to avoid thermal problems. When successful, wireless data services become an attractive low-cost alternative for novel applications. Always connected should be an option for everyone. With increased integration levels and with a low thermal and energy budget, both system-in-a-package and system-on-a-chip become reality and, SMEs and other non-wireless European industries will be able to develop radio-based products and services. In DRAGON we will develop a design platform comprising multi-standard (EDGE, WCDMA, LTE, and, 4G) transceiver specifications and novel flexible architectures as a tool to meet them. The number of required external components, like analog filters, will be reduced by the use of reconfigurable digital CMOS circuitry; and critical building-blocks will be implemented to demonstrate proof of concept, both of the architecture and design methodology, including: a highly linear combined channel filter and receive ADC, RF digitisation receiver, a transmitter DAC, a switched-mode PA with adaptive digital predistortion and adaptive matching networks. All critical building-blocks will be fabricated, tested, and demonstrated in state-of-the-art CMOS technology. The project results will also be provided to standardisation bodies to allow alignment of requirements to technology limits.

The needs of people with sensory or dexterity impairments are generally not well considered when designing user interfaces (UIs) for mainstream consumer products. The majority of existing interfaces and controls rarely fulfil the accessibility requirements of users suffering from visual, hearing, and dexterity impairments. It is also common for an individual to have multiple impairments than just one; this is particularly prevalent among older people. A combination of these impairments creates a far greater problem when interacting with a product than just one. The audience for VICON will be older people who have age-related (mild to moderate) impairments (age-related hearing loss, macular degeneration, etc) rather than those with profound impairments. This group of people do not want (or require) ‘specialist’ assistive devices but mainstream consumer products. However they fully benefit from consumer products, when their UIs incorporate accessible multimodal interaction capabilities providing good usability. It is unrealistic for a mainstream manufacturer to have a detailed understanding of these issues and design appropriately, due to the complexities of singular and multiple age-related impairments. Therefore their inclusivity knowledge has to be supported from a third party solution. VICON will conduct extensive user research to build an advanced Virtual User Model that will reflect the requirements of this group, when designing a product or UI. The Virtual User model will accompany the entire design process and support the client throughout, so that the needs of this audience are address at every stage; conceptualisation, product and UI specification, virtual testing and prototype evaluation.

The proposal objective is to investigate new approaches to the design and development of humanoid robots with advanced perception and action capabilities, showing robust, adaptive, predictive and effective behaviour in the real world. The proposed new approaches are strongly based on the concept of human sense of movement by Alain Berthoz, a key partner in this proposal. There are two main ideas related to this concept, which are relevant to robotics: 1) the vestibular unified reference frame, as set by the vestibular system in the centre of the head; 2) Expected Perception (EP), or the capability to make predictions of consequences of actions, which is at the basis of the human predictive control. The expected robot behaviour is the capability to follow a visual target by coordinating eye, head, and leg movements, with head stabilization, walking smoothly and effectively in an unstructured environment, with a robust reactive behaviour, improved by predictions. This behaviour is a fundamental, but quite novel, capability for humanoid robots, and it may result in a truly robust and effective behaviour in many helpful tasks in real-world scenarios. The proposed project will use the existing and fully operational biped humanoid robotic platform named Sabian, available at SSSA. It is a copy of the Wabian robot developed at WUT. The legs have functional hip and waiste DOF that allow to de-couple the leg and head movements. This unique feature guarantees a truly human-like walking behaviour with head stabilization. IST has developed and has in its lab the same head as the Sabian robot. It is strong belief of proposers that the service robotics markets needs a new generation of robotic systems with a better behaviour in real world, in terms of sensory-motor performance, adaptability, robustness, and that understanding the principles underlying the biological brain sense of movement can lead to the design of robots that represent one important step in this direction.
