user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Conveying Agent Behavior to People:  A User-Centered Approach to Explainable AI' (CONVEY) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

From self-driving cars to agents recommending medical treatment, Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are becoming increasingly prevalent. These agents have the potential to benefit society in areas such as transportation, healthcare and education. Importantly, they do not operate in a vacuumpeople interact with agents in a wide range of settings. To effectively interact with agents, people need to be able to anticipate and understand their behavior. For example, a driver of an autonomous vehicle will need to anticipate situations in which the carfails and hands over control, while a clinician will need to understand the treatment regime recommended by an agent to determine whether it aligns with the patients preferences.Explainable AI methods aim to support users by making the behavior of AI systems more transparent. However, the state-of-the-art in explainable AI is lacking in several key aspects. First, the majority of existing methods focus on providing local explanations to one-shot decisions of machine learning models. They are not adequate for conveying the behavior of agents that act over an extended time duration in large state spaces. Second, most existing methods do not consider the context in which explanations are deployed, including to the specific needs and characteristics of users. Finally, most methods are not interactive, limiting users ability to gain a thorough understanding of the agents.The overarching objective of this proposal is to develop adaptive and interactive methods for conveying the behavior of agents and multi-agent teams operating in sequential decision-making settings. To tackle this challenge, the proposed research will draw on insights and methodologies from AI and human-computer interaction. It will develop algorithms that determine

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Concerted Action EPBD IV'.

assistant: **Concept**

The 'Concerted Action EPBD IV', supporting transposition and implementation of Directive 2010/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings, is an activity which aims to foster exchange of information and experience among Member States and participating countries with regards to the implementation of the specific Community legislation and policy on the energy performance of buildings. It involves the national authorities implementing the Directive, or those bodies appointed and entrusted by them to do so. It is carried out under the coordination of Danish Energy Agency, DEA. The CA consortium is composed of organisations designated by all 28 Member States plus Norway. The CA is financed by the EU's Horizon 2020 Programme. The CA is the continuation of the first Concerted Action, CA EPBD, which ran from January 2005 to June 2007, then continued as the CA EPBD II from December 2007 until November 2010 and then CA EPBD III from March 2011 to October 2015. The CA IV will organise 4 CA Plenary meetings and some supporting activities over a period 30 months or approximately one meeting every 7-8 months, similar to the CA III. The work will be organised in Central Teams, which includes:a) 3 Core Teams on 'New Buildings', 'Existing Buildings' and 'Certification & Quality of Inspection'; b) 3 Cross-Cutting teams on 'Technical Elements', 'Policy & Implementation' and 'Compliance, Capacity & Impact';c) 2 central functions on 'Collaboration with other actors' and 'Internal & External Communication'; and some additional functions and supporting measures. For each Central Team, issues are addressed on which the Directive does not require harmonised national implementation but where coordinated implementation would increase t

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Prototyping Collective Histories: Building Capabilities in Urban Heritage Transformation' (CoHisT) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Urban cultural heritage sites often undergo transformations driven by industrial shifts to tourism and sustainable development, but these changes frequently exclude local communities and fail to generate value at the local level. While participatory design addresses this exclusion by building local capabilities, it has largely overlooked the potential of engaging with the past - specifically through collaborative historical interpretation - to help communities reflect on long-term change and mobilise these reflections for collective action. Since narratives and experience of the past are often diverse and contradictory, a key challenge is how to bring together these different perspectives to strengthen local participation in future decision-making.CoHisT addresses this gap by designing a capability-building programme that innovates civic participation in urban heritage transformation by including often excluded, diverse local groups in cultural activities. By integrating methods from participatory design, critical heritage studies, and public history, CoHisT creates tools and spaces for communities to explore their past, reflect on current changes, and collaboratively envision future possibilities. The project contributes two key tools, history-craft and co-curate, to guide participants in interpreting and curating urban transformations. These efforts culminate in two exhibition prototypes – design platforms where community members can deliberate on the effects of transformation processes and learn about ways to shape their community’s future. The project is executed through a situated action in Hasselt, Belgium, focusing on the transformation of its historic Beguinage site.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Integrated site security for grids' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

SSeG aims to contribute to the consolidation of the European Grid infrastructure in the field of computer security, by creating and disseminating practical expertise on the deployment of Integrated Site Security (ISS), as a complementary action to EGGE Grid Security. The project audience being the research community at large, ISSeG involves actively six scientific disciplines and its dissemination actions target many others.ISS is a novel concept developed at CERN, where all Site Security components (technical, administrative, educational) are developed in a coordinated fashion. The ISSeG vision is that Grid Security, which focuses on inter-site security, middleware, and authentication, needs to be complemented by a comprehensive ISS strategy at every centre. The ISSeG consortium comprises three large scientific centres, CERN, CCLRC and FZK and one medium sized enterprise, CSSI, all involved in EGEE.The project objectives will be achieved by the creation and capture of raw expertise through full-scale ISS deployment at CERN and FZK, and by its dissemination through the provision of applicable recommendations and methodologies for further ISS deployments. The Expertise Creation will comprise a comparative external auditing by CSSI of the centres before and after the deployments. The dissemination will comprise the creation by CCLRC of training and dissemination information base as well as pilot sensitisation events.The main challenge for ISSeG is the antagonist requirements between the openness of scientific sites and the protection of their mission critical resources, an issue that will concern soon most organizations, scientific or not.ISSeG is a two-year project. It does not aim to achieve wide-scale ISS generalization - this may be the subject of a second phase - but

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Variable Stiffness Upper Limb Prosthesis' (2021-2027) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Losing a limb can profoundly impact a person's physical, emotional, and social well-being. While current upper limb prostheses restore users' basic motor capabilities, they fall short of replicating the natural appearance and functionality of a human limb. The innate compliance and controllable stiffness of the human musculoskeletal system allow individuals to adapt seamlessly to various tasks and environments. Intuitively, prostheses with user-controllable stiffness could mimic this behaviour, promoting safe and natural interactions. However, current upper limb prostheses feature rigid actuation, which limits their versatility. Within the VSoft Pro ERC Proof of Concept project, we propose to develop a transhumeral upper limb prosthesis featuring user-controllable stiffness and passive adaptability. The developed prostheses leverage soft robotics principles to closely replicate the morphology and functionality of a human limb, paving the way to a more natural limb restoration experience that could augment users acceptance rate. The project will also focus on the development of intuitive control, empowering users to manage their bionic limb as an extension of their own body. Preliminary investigations aim to assess users needs to tailor the design of prosthetic devices to their preferences. Further goal of this research is to evaluate the advantages of voluntary stiffness control over classical rigid prostheses during functional tasks and activities of daily living, informing the development of future advanced prosthetic solutions. Finally, the Proof of Concept project will be focused on building a clinically viable prototype, and demonstrating its application in relevant scenarios.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'NF-RAD:  Near-Field Radiation Absorption and Scattering by Nanoparticles on Surfaces' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The process of engineering, controlling and fabricating structures of 1-100 nanometers in size, which defines “nanoscale,” is a challenging endeavor. The unusual characteristics of such particles are due to their small sizes and high percentage of atoms in surface states, which yield unique properties that differ from those of the same bulk materials. Particularly, nanosize metallic particles and colloids can give rise to many unprecedented optical, electronic, and structural properties. With these new properties, these particles can be used for many novel and innovative engineering and biological applications. However, manufacturing of these nanosize building blocks requires careful control of their composition, structure, shape, and size distribution, which necessitates further understanding of the underlying  physics and chemistry. This would be possible if these particles can be visualized and measured in real time and non-intrusively. Recently, a new characterization methodology has been developed by the PI and his group using scattering of elliptically polarized evanescent waves by particles on a smooth surface. These surface waves can also be employed to manipulate particles. Again recently, the PI and his colleagues reported a novel directed self-assembly process to melt and fuse metallic of such particles.  The objective of the current proposal is to advance both of these approaches to the next level by understanding the influence of near-field effects on absorption, emission and scattering by nanoparticles, coagulates and surfaces in close proximity to each other. It is expected that a successful implementation of this research program will significantly help to the development of future nanomanufacturing platforms. The Marie Curie International Reintegration

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Optimisation of converters for building integrated photovoltaic systems' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

PROJECT OBJECTIVES The aim of the project is the development of configurations and techniques leading to the design and manufacture of efficient and reliable grid connected PV systems for building integration, at a lower cost than using currently available technology. The R&D will be based on an assessment of the most appropriate methodology for the implementation of network connection of photovoltaics and a system approach to the power conversion, quality and safety issues. Inverting elements are to be designed to be distributed throughout the array so as to reduce power wiring costs. It is believed that a combination of distributed inverters and a centralised grid interface, including protection equipment will be the most effective and cost effective. In addition it offers further possible benefits in terms of harmonic cancellation which would improve the power quality and thus increase the acceptability of the system to the local electricity supply company. TECHNICAL APPROACH The project will be carried out in a two-years time span with the combined efforts of three high qualified partners in the European Community : SEI in Italy, CREST in UK and CIEMAT in Spain. In the frame of this project the following points will be investigated in deep details : 1. The inverter, 2. The interface, 3. Maximum Power Point Tracking, 4. Safety, 5. Quality The project is focused in particular to the : - reduction of semiconductor losses by means of soft switching, - reduction of the dimensions of passive components by the use of high switching frequency, - use of advanced power components (IGBT), - innovative circuit technologies combining MPPT and ac conversion. Complementary targets are the achievement of a very high reliability, safety, efficiency of islanding protection, complianc

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Robotic Fruit Tree Harvester' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Fresh fruit tree growers worldwide are increasingly burdened by the scarcity of human labour, rising labour costs, and overall production costs. This phenomenon is becoming more acute in light of regulatory restrictions, as well as constraints on import and temporary employment from less developed countries. Moreover, human pickers inadvertently bruise some of the fruit picked during the picking process. The result is loss of yield and profit to the fruit grower by up to 30%.  The need for automation in agriculture in general and in fresh fruit harvesting in particular has never been greater and we intend to tap into this market with the launch of the FFRobot. We anticipate a market penetration rate of 3% of the TAM, amounting to potential annual revenues of €240M. The FFRobot is a revolutionary multi-arm fruit harvesting robot with specially developed computerized vision, image processing software and dedicated algorithms. The FFRobot can move automatically amongst the orchard rows and pick apples and a variety of different fresh fruit by emulating the human hand movement, all without human touch!  In the last submission we received a Seal of Excellence and a score of 13.88! We have since then reached a significant operational milestone. Our main objective for this Phase 2 project is to bridge the gap from TRL 7 to full commercialisation of the FFRobot.  To achieve this, activities for this project will centre on: demonstrating the operative functionality of the multi-arm FFRobot (including field trial tests); improving the cost effectiveness of the FFRobot; identifying and signing agreements with commercialisation partners; and devising a viable short and long-term commercialisation and scale-up plan. FFRobotics was founded in 2014 by Avi Kahani (CEO), with the vision

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The action mechanism of human antimicrobial peptide dermcidin' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have great potential as a new generation of antibiotics, but their function mechanisms are very elusive which hinders the design and application of this kind of new antibiotics in medicine or therapy. Different function models have been proposed, one of which is the oligomerization of AMPs and pore formation on the bacterial membranes. However, there are no atomic structures of AMP oligomers published and therefore no atomic details exist about how they act on membranes. Very recently, the first crystal structure of one AMP oligomer, the dermcidin oligomer, has been obtained by X-ray crystallography by one of our collaborators. We have performed preliminary molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on this structure and found some very interesting properties of the oligomer and some implications of their action mechanism. Briefly, it acts as a water and ion channel on the membrane with unique transport properties. Following the discovery of this new structure and the preliminary simulation results, in this proposal, we plan to perform further MD simulations to study its detailed action mechanism on membranes. We will perform potential of mean force calculations and the new computational electrophysiology simulations to quantify the ion selectivity, the permeation pathway selectivity and the preference orientation of the dermcidin channel on membranes. The relation between the channel orientation and its conductance will be studied. We will investigate the effect of membrane composition on the insertion and conduction properties of the dermcidin oligomer. All of these studies would be highly related to its function in vivo. The proposed project here can assist people to understand the action mechanisms of dermcidin and the AMP family, which will b

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for '‘The ostrich problem’: When and why people fail to monitor their goal progress and the development of a new focus for behaviour change interventions' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

One of the most significant challenges facing science and society is how to promote lasting changes in people’s behaviour. What kinds of interventions influence the behaviours that lead to obesity or persuade people to use less energy in their homes? The present proposal argues that one reason that people struggle to change is that they fail to monitor the relation between their current behaviour and their desired behaviour. For example, few people watch their weight, monitor their household energy consumption, check their bank balances, look at nutrition labels on food and so on. This active ignoring of information about one’s current standing relative to one’s goals – termed here ‘the ostrich problem’ – is part of popular culture, yet current scientific perspectives assume that people will actively monitor and seek information on their progress. As a consequence, theoretical frameworks fail to adequately describe and predict the outcomes of behaviour change efforts and current interventions fall short of promise.The aim of the proposed research is to challenge the assumption made by current theoretical frameworks and to investigate the nature and implications of the ostrich problem. The research will seek to explain why the ostrich problem exists and test avenues for intervention. The research will also (i) develop new methodologies that will open up future research in this area (namely, a self-report measure of the extent to which people monitor their current standing and a new measure of implicit attitudes toward such monitoring) and (ii) apply established theories and methodologies in new contexts (namely, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, evaluative conditioning, the formation of implementation intentions, and self-affirmation). By so doing, the proposed rese
