WP Main Objectives and Structure
  • A limited set of Challenges aiming at
  • overcoming technology roadblocks to achieve
    specific characteristics, and/or
  • end-to-end systems targeting specific
    socio-economic goals
  • A Challenge is addressed through a limited set of
    Objectives that form the basis of Calls for
    Proposals
  • An Objective is described in terms of
  • Target outcome
  • Expected impact

ICT WP 2007-08 Challenges
Network and service infrastructures
Future and Emerging Technologies
Cognitive systems, robotics and interaction
Technology roadblocks
Components, Systems, engineering

Ch 1 Network service infrastructures
  • Rationale
  • Networks and service infrastructures underpin
    economic progress and the development of our
    societies
  • 2 billion mobile terminals in commercial
    operation, 1 billion Internet users, 400 million
    internet enabled devices
  • Determining factor in business development in all
    sectors
  • Of a growing and changing demand
  • For more, and more user control of
    content/services, for interconnecting things ,
    for convergence in networks, services and devices
  • Current technologies can be, and need to be
    improved significantly
  • for scaling up, for more flexibility, for more
    security and dependability
  • Europe is in a leading position Industry,
    technology and use
  • Networks equipment and services, business
    software, security, GRIDs technology

5
Challenge 1 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • Billions of devices connected
  • Convergence emerging but
  • User handles separate networks, a multiplicity of
    devices, disparate services
  • Security and trust are add on characteristics
  • Robustness/dependability a key hurdle
  • Difficulty to cope with the fragmentation of the
    value chain

6
Challenge 1 Approach in the WP
7
Ch 2 Cognitive systems, robotics and Interaction
  • Rationale
  • Todays ICT systems cannot adapt to their
    context, can not learn from experience and can
    not act based on observation and learning.
  • Many ICT applications can not be developed
    further in case there is no new breakthrough in
    machine intelligence
  • Overcoming technology roadblocks opens the doors
    to a wide range of opportunities in new
    application fields
  • Service robots and health robots, Industrial
    robots, vision/sensing systems, Multimodal and
    multilingual interactions, ..
  • Europe has key assets to build on
  • A world leadership in industrial robotics,
  • Mastering of multiple disciplines (neuroscience,
    ICT, microsystems, ..)
  • A very good academic research in this field

8
Challenge 2 The targets
Today
5 15 years
  • Robots operating in  structured ,
     constrained  environnments
  • Industrial robots
  •  Programmed  service robots
  • Basic, but not full, understanding of
    computational representations of human cognitive
    processes
  • First applications in cognitive vision
  • Human-machine interactions that are rather static
    or passive
  • unable to adapt to human behaviours and unable to
    empower humans in their interactions
  • Robots exhibiting advanced behaviour
  • Adapting to context learning from observation
  • Machines and systems that understand their users
    and/or their environment
  • Systems that analyse and understand multimedia
    and multimodal digital information
  • operating in dynamic and open-ended environments

9
Challenge 2 Approach in the WP
  • One objective in the Work Programme addressing
    the basic technologies and their integration into
    systems with a budget of 193 million Euro
  • The objective is called twice in Call1 and 3
  • Rationale Enable this new constituency and in
    particular industry to build up its research
    activities and projects with two annual calls
    with 1 year difference.

10
Ch 3 components, systems, engineering
  • Rationale
  • Electronic systems underpin the 6 trillion Euro
    ICT markets
  • Electronic systems are embedded in all artefacts
    of life
  • 20 to 40 of the value of new products comes from
    embedded electronics
  • Increasing demand for lower cost, higher
    performance components
  • Europe is currently leading in electronics for a
    number of industries
  • E.g. car safety, engine control, avionics,
    telecom equipments, medical equipments,
    industrial automation
  • European firms also among top semiconductor
    manufacturers and equipment companies
  • Europe enjoys leading positions in emerging
    fields
  • photonics, plastic electronics, flexible
    displays, integrated micro/nanosystems and
    embedded systems.

11
Challenge 3 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • 45-nano-meter node,
  • In leading edge research
  • 300 mm wafers
  • Silicon and CMOS dominate
  •  Homogeneous  integration
  • Photonics applications emerging
  • Difficulty with reliable large-scale real-time
    embedded systems
  • Unable to analyse aggregate behaviours, predict
    and control systems
  • Below the 32 nano-meter node
  • 450 mm Wafers
  • New materials
  • Higher integration,
  • More heterogeneous (SoCs, SiPs)

    systems

12
Challenge 3 Approach in the WP
13
Challenge 4 Digital libraries and content
  • Rationale
  • We are confronted with a growing load of
    information and content,
  • It is estimated that in less than 10 years the
    average person will be managing terabytes of
    photos, music, videos and documents every day.
  • content production and consumption is moving from
    few-to-many to many-to-many models
  • We need to preserve better, develop and diffuse
    our cultural assets and these is an increasing
    demand for knowledge and skills.
  • Todays technology is not sufficient Progress is
    needed to make content knowledge more
    accessible, interactive and usable.
  • Europe, with its unique cultural heritage and
    creative potential, is well placed to take
    advantage of these technologies.

14
Challenge 4 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • An intense effort is still required to access,
    interpret, and learn from content
  • Content is not personalised
  • Interactivity is limited to smart menus.
  • Knowledge is badly exploited
  • Tools for the capturing and editing are still in
    their infancy.
  • Learning tools focus so far only on the delivery
    of content
  • Digital libraries are widely available
  • Multilingual cultural and scientific resources
    are produced, managed, transmitted, preserved and
    used reliably, efficiently and at low cost
  • Efficient editing and knowledge management
    systems
  • solid semantic foundations
  • mass-individualisation of learning experiences
    with ICT (mid term)
  • adaptive and intuitive learning systems (longer
    term).

15
Ch4 Approach in the WP
16
Challenge 5 Sustainable and personalised
healthcare,
  • Rationale
  • Healthcare is identified as one of the most
    important issues for EU citizens
  • By 2050, close to 40 of the Unions population
    will be over 65 years
  • Increasing citizens expectations for the best
    care available and equality in access
  • the need to respond to emerging disease risks
  • ICT can help us address the challenges
  • By 2010, ICT for Health spending may account for
    up to 5 of the EU total health budget from just
    1 in 2000.
  • Information processing is a major component of
    any health organisation.
  • ICT is also supporting progress in medical
    research, better management and diffusion of
    medical knowledge, and a shift towards
    evidence-based medicine.
  • European businesses many of which are small-
    and medium-sized enterprises have every
    opportunity to become leading global players in
    the new ICT for Health industry.

17
Challenge 5 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • Citizens, healthy or under treatment, can not
    monitor their health
  • No access to comprehensive and secure electronic
    health records.
  • E.g. needs of elderly people are not sufficiently
    covered.
  • Health professionals do not yet have fast and
    easy access to patient-specific data
  • to support diagnosis or plan clinical
    interventions.
  • Health authorities do not make sufficient use of
    information processing systems
  • Innovative systems and services for personalised
    health monitoring.
  • E.g. wearable/portable ICT systems
  • Efficient systems for point-of-care diagnostics.
  • Alerts and management support
  • Improved management of large scale health-related
    crises
  • Tools for patient-specific computational
    modelling simulation of organs or systems.
  • (longer term)

18
Challenge 5 Approach in the WP
19
Challenge 6 Mobility, Environment, Energy
  • Rationale
  • increasing demand for transport services
  • more congestion, high consumption of energy,
    pollutant emissions,
  • and above-all accidents causing fatalities and
    injuries
  • over 40.000 fatalities on the EU roads every year
  • with a cost of around 200 billion /year
  • an increasing demand for natural resources
  • (e.g. 1-2 per year for energy and growing water
    consumption)
  • natural and industrial disasters has doubled in
    one decade,
  • killing 500.000 people
  • ICT can help
  • better use the transport infrastructures, improve
    safety and limit waste
  • increase efficiency of energy production and use,
    and significantly improve the management of
    environmental risks
  • Europes industry in this sector is one of the
    most competitive
  • capable of developing and uptaking innovative ICT
    solutions

20
Challenge 6 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • Safety of vehicles and their energy efficiency
    have drastically improved.
  • But, the zero-accident scenario is still a
    distant goal.
  • current vehicle's active safety systems are still
    limited stand alone
  • Risk management systems provide isolated
    solutions
  • No co-ordinated ICT-triggered alert of rescue and
    security forces.
  • Infrastructures are not sufficiently energy
    efficient
  • e.g. buildings, production plants, transport and
    communications
  • Intelligent Vehicle Systems
  • secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastr
    ucture communication systems
  • optimised traffic management at large scale
  • Fully integrated management systems to monitor
    and react to environmental and other risks
  • Intelligent monitoring of energy production,
    distribution, trading and use

21
Challenge 6 Approach in the WP
22
Challenge 7 ICT for Independent Living and
Inclusion
  • Rationale
  • Between 1998 and 2025 the proportion of the
    population classified as elderly will increase
    from 20 to 28,
  • The fastest growing group of the elderly
    population is the very old, that is those aged
    over 80.
  • More people with high disability rates, fewer
    informal carers and a smaller productive
    workforce
  • Need for a paradigm shift in health and social
    care
  • Complexity and lack of accessibility and
    usability of many ICT-based products and services
    is a major barrier for many people
  • ICT offers important means to address the
    problems
  • This offer also a major economic opportunity for
    European industry.

23
Challenge 7 The targets
Today
5 10 years
  • Research on technology for independent living is
    in its infancy.
  • Progress in the areas of eAccessibility
    assistive technology
  • increasing complexity and limited usability of
    many products and services
  • lack of interoperability between existing
    inclusive systems
  • Lack of interoperability between assistive or
    health-support technologies and mainstream ICT
  • ICT solutions that will help substantially
    reduce the 30 of the population currently not
    using ICT
  • User friendly systems beyond the PC and current
    technologies
  • ICT based solutions extending independence and
    prolonging active participation in society
  • Cost-effective, multi-vendor solutions enabling
    seamless and reliable integration of devices and
    services
