They include acquisition of information both within the 
programme and from the IT community at large, as well 
as measures to create awareness of opportunities and 
availability of results, and to develop synergies between 
participants and with the IT community at large. (Amendment No 15) 
Last paragraph, third sentence 
They include acquisition of information both within the 
programme and from the IT community at large, 
programme-related training measures to increase skill 
levels of researchers and engineers, as well as measures 
to create awareness of opportunities and availability of 
results, including standardization-oriented results, and to 
develop synergies between participants and with the IT 
community at large. 
Area I: Microelectronics 
(Amendment No 16) 
First paragraph 
(new) 
In microelectronics, which provides the technology 
foundation for information technology and telecommu­
nications, the three main strategic actions will be to: 
contribute to the strengthening of a European 
technology base on which future manufacturing 
capability of a broad range of leading-edge ICs can 
be based. This will be done by stimulating the exploi­
tation, and building on and extending the work 
which has been performed in the previous phases of 
Esprit and in the national programmes. Strategic 
work on submicron CMOS technologies will be 
carried out in conjunction with the joint European 
submicron silicon project (Jessi), 
strengthen the capabilities in the Community with 
respect to the chain of designing, manufacturing, 
testing and applying advanced and reliable integrated 
circuits,

draw on all resources available, ensuring wide 
participation of the largest number of potential actors 
(large and small industries, both producers and users, 
universities and research centres) in the Community. 
First paragraph 
Emphasis will be on application specific integrated 
circuits (ASICs), including notably multifunction circuits, 
high speed circuits, optoelectronic circuits, advanced 
power circuits ('smart power'), new equipment, manufac­
turing technology and materials for integrated circuits 
and, in conjunction with other initiatives in the 
Community such as the joint European submicron silicon 
project (Jessi), the advanced technologies linked to 
submicron silicon. (Amendment No 17) 
First paragraph 
Emphasis will be on application specific integrated 
circuits (ASICs), including notably multifunction circuits, 
high speed circuits, optoelectronic circuits, advanced 
power circuits ('smart power'), new equipment, manufac­
turing technology and materials for advanced circuits. 
Sixth paragraph, last sentence 
Work on high-density ICs will be carried out in 
conjunction with Jessi. (Amendment No 18) 
Sixth paragraph, last sentence 
Work on high-density integrated circuits will be carried 
out in conjunction with Jessi, taking into consideration 
the different research activity characteristics performed 
by Community programmes and Eureka, the need to 
avoid overlaps, and the need to safequard the cohesion 
requirements and subsidiarity principle. 
Ninth paragraph (Amendment No 19) 
Ninth paragraph 
The longer-term, most innovative aspects of the work in 
microelectronics will be carried out taking into account 
the achievements and the objectives of the basic research 
area, thus securing overall coherence in this sector, 
within the programme. 
Technology transfer, training and other accompanying 
measures will be undertaken where there is a specific 
need for action; special emphasis will be put on prenor-
mative work on a standard CAD framework with 
interfaces allowing for an effective integration of CAD 
systems. Measures to tackle specific skills deficits that 
can only be addressed in cooperation with industry (for 
instance, those that require access to industrial facilities) 
will be undertaken. Measures to promote uptake of 
ASIC technology in innovative products, especially by 
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will also be 
undertaken. Technology transfer, training and other accompanying 
measures will be undertaken where there is a specific 
need for action to establish closer links and access to 
sources of IC supply in Europe. In particular a set of 
measures will be established, building on the 
achievements of projects addressing ASICs and bringing 
coherence to initiatives undertaken to provide support 
and stimulation for small and medium-sized enterprises 
in the use of microelectronics; specific skills deficits that 
can only be addressed in cooperation with industry (for 
instance, those that require access to industrial facilities) 
will be tackled.

Area 2: Information processing systems and software 
(Amendment No 20) 
First paragraph, seventh and eighth sentences First paragraph, seventh and eighth sentences 
Operating systems allowing information sharing between 
existing systems and newly emerging parallel operating 
systems will be addressed. Technical and scientific work­
stations with very high performance will be based on 
parallel architectures. Operating systems allowing information sharing between 
existing systems and newly emerging parallel operating 
systems, and languages will be addressed. Enabling 
research for high-performance technical and scientific 
workstations based on parallel architectures will be 
performed. Together with the substantial increases in 
computing power, there is a need to manage and process 
great increases in the volume of information currently 
available. Current data management technologies are 
estimated to be able to cope with only 5 % of the infor­
mation available to the average organization, yet infor­
mation is increasingly an organization's most critical 
asset. New technologies based on a convergence of 
knowledge-base techniques and highly parallel archi­
tectures are needed. These must deal with volumes and 
data rates several orders of magnitude greater than those 
currently managed. The ranges of data types and media 
should be substantially increased. 
(Amendment No 21) 
Second paragraph, add to last sentence 
(new) 
Such interfaces will employ not only conventional tech­
niques with improved integration but increasingly the 
understanding of direct speech, the use of animated 
graphics and the introduction of new techniques of inter­
action using movement and gesture. Furthermore, 
systems are increasingly required to interact with their 
external environment in a fully automatic manner via 
vision, acoustic and other sensory elements. The need for 
automatic inspection and scene interpretation is growing 
rapidly and covers applications ranging from improved 
industrial robotics, through environmental monitoring to 
medical imaging. Of particular relevance are archi­
tectures that will include a range of sensory devices, cope 
with an increasing range of signal types and rates and 
deal with real-time interpretation.

It includes the integration of mobile terminals into 
business information systems. In this context, systems for 
cooperative work play an important role. They allow 
cooperation through the provision of, e.g., the following 
facilities: cooperative writing, file processing, project 
management, decision making, informal interaction, 
problem definition and conferencing. The improvement 
of working conditions and job-level qualifications are of 
major concern. (Amendment No 24) 
Third paragraph, from second sentence 
It includes the integration of mobile terminals into 
business information systems, where close links need to

cooperative work play an important role. They allow 
cooperation through the provision of, e.g., the following 
facilities: cooperative writing, file processing, project 
management, decision making, informal interaction, 
problem definition and conferencing. Another stra­
tegically important research direction is open systems for 
the integration of heterogeneous software components 
supporting different applications, including multimedia 
systems. The improvement of working conditions and 
job-level qualifications are of major concern. 
Sixth paragraph 
The peripherals technology activities include R&D 
aspects of specific peripheral technologies for printers, 
displays, input and storage devices. Special emphasis will 
be put on flat panel display technologies, magneto-
optical storage systems, non-impact printing techno­
logies, and scanning technologies. (Amendment No 25) 
Sixth paragraph 
The peripherals technology activities will focus on 
selected areas where there are routes to exploitation and 
where there is a chance of industrial viability. The work 
will inlcude R&D aspects of specific peripheral techno­
logies for future generations of peripherals. Special 
emphasis will be put on flat panel display technologies, 
magneto-optical storage systems, non-impact printing 
technologies, and scanning technologies.
