HDTV

• A series of projects in ITEA / ITEA 2 (MAGELLAN,
  HD4U, HDTVNext) contribute to the development of
  key components for the HDTV chain. HDTV is now
  ready for deployment in many European countries
  over DTT, satellite, cable and IPTV links.
• EURO1080 Belgian satellite TV operator has chosen
  MPEG4-AVC for satellite transmission with four
  HDTV channels commercially launched using
  technology developed in HD4U.
• As another result, the French broadcaster TF1 in
  close collaboration with the HD-Forum has
  convinced the French audiovisual authority to
  adopt HDTV for DTT three free-to-air HDTV
  channels on only one multiplex will be
  transmitted from mid 2008 and a fourth channel
  will probably be added once technology will allow
  transmission of more channels.
• Furthermore, IPTV operator Maxisat in Finland has
  also shown that 93 of its subscribers can
  receive HDTV at home using ADSL2 networks with
  new MPEG4-AVC technology based on HD4U.
• HD4U also provided industrial partners with the
  opportunity to develop prototypes for encoding,
  modulation, IP encapsulation, STBs and LCD
  screens and deploy commercial products a year
  after the end of the project. This includes a
  second-generation MPEG4-AVC encoder that targets
  a 50 gain in compression compared with MPEG2,
  making it possible to increase the number of
  channels transmitted over a DTT network from
  three to four.
• EUREKA labelling made it possible to obtain
  funding to develop the necessary tools and
  products. Moreover it allowed us to work closely
  with complementary partners in the complete
  chain.
• Patrick Schwartz, Thomson, France Project
  leader HD4U.

Product line software engineering

• Another key achievement within ITEA has been the
  invention of the product line engineering
• methodology. Important projects for this
  achievement were Café, ESAPS Families.
• The product line engineering approach is one of
  the best ways to exploit business opportunities
  in rapidly changing markets. It reduces
  development duplication at the expense of
  management of variability, which takes less
  effort. It leads to a substantial reduction in
  development costs, product lead times and
  maintenance.
• Project partners reported the following
  improvements to support the productivity and
  quality improvements
• Product cost reductions of 60 to 70
• Improved productivity by a factor of two to
  six times higher output
• Investment reduction by an average 50, and up
  to 90
• Product lead-time reductions by an average
  50, and up to 95
• Maintenance cost reduction
• Portfolio complexity reduction
• Training time reduction
• Better product planning and use of roadmaps
• Product defect density 50 or less and
• Reuse of test cases from 40 to 60.

Automotive

• One of the first success stories of ITEA resulted
  out of the project EAST EEA. The ITEA Embedded
  Electronic Architecture paved the way to a
  standardized platform for automotive
  applications, the Automotive open Systems
  Architecture AUTOSAR.
• Today, AUTOSAR is a worldwide industrial
  initiative that currently is bringing together
  more than 100 OEMs suppliers of the global
  automotive industry - the initial ITEA partners
  being still the majority in the current core
  group.
• Thanks to the EAST-EEA approach, vehicle
  manufacturers will be able to use an integrated
  framework for software and communication
  interfaces, tool environments and rules.
  Suppliers will benefit from standard solutions
  and re-use will become possible. New vehicle
  models will be developed faster and product
  quality will be improved.
• Until today ITEA 2 is actively contributing to
  this key area. E.g. the ITEA 2 TIMMO project is
  contributing to real time performance modeling
  and verification. The project results will be
  integrated in AUTOSAR in a later phase. A recent
  project in ITEA 2 Call 2, MODELISAR addresses the
  integrated design, test and management of AUTOSAR
  architectural components.

Emerging achievements
11
Digital media

• Within the digital media domain ITEA / ITEA 2 are
  contributing to the trend of changing the media
  studio from a format/ hardware-centred approach
  toward a network/software-centred one based on IP
  technology.
• The use of IP technology in studios is something
  that helps to get the job done simply and
  reliably, but also makes the studio ready to
  move into a future where all contents will be
  digital and every possibility of digital
  processing is easily accessible in the studio.
• For example, based on the technologies developed
  in the PELOPS project, one of the partners
  developed a new product called Networked Digital
  Studio. The first pieces of equipment are
  already in place at some alpha and beta customer
  sites, showing that IT-based solutions are
  finding acceptance in the broadcast community and
  paving the way for a market with high potential.
• The successful co-operation in the PELOPS
  consortium is expected to carry on inside the
  TVProdNext project. TVProdNext addresses the
  field of content acquisition and processing for
  the benefit of content creators, e.g. by making
  it possible to enlarge the studio area by using
  an IP telecommunications network to connect
  distant cameras to the studio.
• The extension of the digital studio to the home
  has already been addressed in the project
  Passepartout. It coupled new developments in
  digital media to consumer electronics devices,
  HDTV, and a media orchestration platform based on
  blu-ray technology.

12
Web of Objects

• SIRENA successfully demonstrated that present-day
  technology does allow applying the
  Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm in
  the device space. The project demonstrated a
  technological breakthrough that paves the way for
  novel architectures in many areas and for many
  purposes.
• The core of the SIRENA Framework is the Devices
  Profile for Web Services (DPWS), a
  device-oriented subset of the Web Services
  protocol suite. The generic toolkit delivered by
  the SIRENA project is the worlds first
  implementation of DPWS for embedded devices.
• The importance of this achievement comes from the
  fact that todays Internet is connecting a
  billion of people but, in the near future,
  Internet technology will network-connect hundreds
  of billions of devices.
• The SIRENA project, led by Schneider Electric,
  anticipated this evolution and has demonstrated
  the feasibility of implementing SOA using Web
  Services in simple devices with applications in
  industrial automation, home, automotive and
  telecommunications sectors. It implements all the
  DPWS protocols except WS-Security. The first
  implementation of DPWS was a proof-of-concept,
  built by a proprietary DPWS Toolkit of Schneider
  Electric.
• Meanwhile, through the successor project SODA,
  the implementation of the DPWS stack has been
  made available in Open Source (http//www.soda-ite
  a.org) and more than 100 downloads have been
  made. Moreover, more than 50 companies have been
  trained to its use, and are now developing
  applications in collaboration. The SODA project
  focuses on building a complete service-oriented
  ecosystem based on the SIRENA results.
• An important step to becoming an industry
  standard is the fact that Microsoft natively
  incorporated DPWS in VISTA, which provides a very
  interesting Plug and Play solution just by
  connecting any DPWS device to a Vista PC, it is
  automatically discovered, identified, and a first
  level of monitoring and diagnostic is provided,
  without any tool or software installation.
• Through this connection of devices we establish a
  new kind of a Web of Objects (controlled by
  these connected devices).

13
Web of ObjectsApplication in the Home domain

• Whereas SIRENA gave a proof of concept through a
  proprietary implementation of the DPWS stack,
  the SODA project provided an Open Source
  implementation of the DPWS stack. Now ANSO
  extended these results by including security and
  reliable messaging, which resulted in a DPWS base
  driver.
• The ANSO result the infrastructure surrounding
  the base driver hides the complexity involved
  in the distribution and heterogeneity from the
  developers and provides integration into the OSGi
  context and ADM solution. This part has been
  contributed to and accepted by the OSGi
  standardisation body as a part of the OSGi
  plug-n-play technologies.
• These results were first applied in the Home
  domain, for example in controlling connected
  devices in the home by using a DVB-MHP enabled
  set-top box or TV.

14
Service creation and management

• Service innovation is a key area for European
  economy. ITEA has addressed this area for a long
  time in a series of projects, for example SUMO,
  OSIRIS, S4ALL, LOMS, while addressing
  applications in, for example ANSO and NUADU.
• The SUMO project addressed continuous mobile
  access to services. The major result has been
  automation of access, inter-technologu roaming
  with real-time service continuity (WiMax, 2.5 G,
  WLAN, DVB). Two main types of services have been
  focussed on rich media streaming and transparent
  access to corporate applications.
• The OSIRIS project has created an Open Source
  infrastructure for run-time integration of
  services, and the The S4ALL project simplified
  service creation and sharing by using simple
  graphical tools and natural language processing.
• In the LOMS project, the long tailof services
  has been addressed the business landscape is
  defined in terms of roles (platform operator,
  service operator, service provider) and a set of
  tools, templates and guidelines, together with a
  comprehensive run-time system for easy creation
  of services for various small target groups. The
  total platform (excl. a propritary billing
  system) has been published in Open Source. The
  results have been piloted by regional publishers
  in Limburg (B) and Karlsruhe.

Specific Project Results
16
Mobile NFC services

• The SmartTouch project is the largest effort on
  piloting Near Field Communication technology in
  the European Union. SmartTouch communication is
  based on radio frequency identification (RFID)
  technology and the NFC short range wireless
  connectivity interface and protocol.
• The project is examining the role of Near Field
  Communication Technology (NFC) and RFID in City
  Life, Home, Wellness and Health.
• After several field tests in European cities such
  as Oulu and Strassbourg, and the standardisation
  in ETSI, this technology is now ready for
  country-wide roll-outs. This is demonstrated by
  the following quote of Gemalto on a project in
  Taiwan
• After multiple mobile contactless trials in Asia
  and in the rest of the world and through its
  experience in the telecommunications, transport
  and financial sectors, and based on co-operative
  RD developments made in the scope of the ITEA
  Sm_at_rtTouch project, Gemalto successfully
  developed a secure solution fulfilling the
  specific needs of its partners and end-users. It
  will allow Taiwan Mobile to register, issue,
  manage and terminate mobile NFC services
  over-the-air (OTA). Taiwan Mobiles subscribers
  will be free to securely purchase goods, top-up
  their transport pass and proceed to coupons
  management just by using their mobile phone in a
  contactless mode. As most people always keep this
  personal device with them, the mobile
• contactless technology clearly brings them more
  freedom and convenience. This comprehensive
  solution will be commercially rolled out
  nation-wide by the end of 2008.
