Cross Programme Themes

1

• Cross Programme Themes
• in the IST programme
• - Cross Programme Actions
• - Cross Programme Clusters

2
CPAs - what are they?

• Address topics common to several Key Actions
• themes of strategic nature that reflect the IST
  vision
• bringing together fragmented areas
• supporting aspects of integration and convergence
• Provide an additional perspective to proposers
• Defined by Action Lines in the workprogramme
• Section 5 of workprogramme
• Resources available . 12 of the IST budget

of which at least10 for cross-programme
themes, and a minimum of 2 for integrated
application platforms(400 MEuro)
3
CPAs - where do they come from ?

• Linking to IST Advisory Group vision
• Home environments (ambient intelligence at home)
• Natural interactions and dialogue modes
  (enjoyable)
• Mobility (mobile services..)
• Survivability of large scale systems (trust and
  confidence..)
• Smart cards (seamless services..)
• Next Generation Networks (convergence of
  infrastructure)
• Socio-economic (usability, acceptability,)
• Statistical tools, methods, (Information Society
  indicators)

CPAs in WP 2000 - more details

• CPA1 Extended Home environments
• convergence of media and integration of
  broadcastingand interactive services
• seamless interconnection and interoperability
  between networked appliances (household
  devices,..)
• CPA2 Human factors, multilingual and
  multi-modal dialogue modes
• integration and use of multiple modalities,
  including language, gestures, emotions,
  augmented, synthetic and virtual reality
• e.g. next generation mobiles, personal
  assistants, devices used in homes, cars,
  schools and at work

6
CPAs in WP 2000 - more details

• CPA3 Ubiquitous and intelligent info-mobility
  and geo-information systems
• new / improved user friendly info-mobility
  services fortransport / travel, business,
  tourism, leisure and other applications
• CPA4 Large scale systems survivability
• technologies to cope with vulnerabilities of
  large-scalemulti-jurisdictional and unbounded
  systems
• relying on self-organising, self-diagnostic
  capabilities,and on middle-ware mediating
  between services

7
CPAs in WP 2000 - more details

• CPA5 Smart cards
• security, mobility, interoperability,
  multi-functionality and harmonisation of smart
  card systems.
• fostering European-wide deployment across
  activity sectors (e.g. health, retailing, finance
  banking, electronic business)
• CPA6 Next generation networks
• novel infrastructures that results from the
  convergence of IP (internet protocol), fixed,
  mobile wireless technologies and architectures
  from a technological and service perspective.

8
CPAs in WP 2000 - more details

• CPA7 Socio-economic analysis for the Information
  Society
• understanding of the challenges, impacts and
  opportunities associated with the deployment and
  use of new IST solutions
• identifying their potential implications for
  future policy activities
• design requirements for usable and effective IST
  solutions
• CPA8 Statistical tools, methods, indicators
  and applications for the Information
  Society
• statistical datamining, statistical modelling,
  representationand analysis of non-numerical data
• socio-economic statistical indicators for the
  Information Society.

CPAs - some advice on proposals

• Proposals DO NOT have to ..
• address all Key Actions
• disqualify themselves from other Action Lines
• be broad and extra-multidisciplinary
• Proposals SHOULD .
• have clear focused objectives aligned with the
  CPA
• submit proposal to CPA (1st choice)
• identify related workprogramme Action Lines
• identify a centre of gravity of the work
• CPAs are not a back-door to closed Action Lines

10
CPAs - a normal procedure

• CPA support
• teams of Project Officers from all Key Actions
• Call evaluation
• as any other IST Action Line
• evaluation panel with programme-wide expertise
• CPA roadmap for 2000
• Call 3 CPA4, CPA5, CPA7, CPA8
• Call 4 CPA1, CPA2
• Call 5 CPA3, CPA6
• Selected proposals
• negotiation, contracting follow-up in Key
  Actions
• allocation to Key Actions with closest affinity
  to work
• CPAs may provide an opportunity for clusters

Clusters

• Thematic clusters of projects
• Initiative lies with projects
• Make use of the PIM (IPPA) reports
• Project fact sheets on IST-Web
• Cluster activities based on
• The needs of projects
• Generation of added-value
• Creation of mutual awareness
• Create fora to exchange ideas / results
• Debate issues of common interest / concern
• Find common ground / establish guidelines, etc
