
But also in IST Call 4:
(instrument STREP only)
– Cognitive Systems (Dec 2004 – 22 March 2005), budget 50 M€
Advanced Computing Architectures
Research in computing architectures, compilers and operating systems
to address AmI application requirements in 10+ year frame

Objectives:
– Increase performance of computing engines by 2 orders of magnitude
while reducing power consumption
– Portable compiler and operating system technology for
high performance and code optimisation
– Devise building blocks for integration in heterogeneous platforms

Scope:
– From small wireless systems to large networked servers

Multidisciplinary Integrated Projects
– Industrial participation is sought to link with application requirements

Network of Excellence: research agenda, benchmarking & testing
Presence & Interaction
in Mixed Reality Environments
Convey the sense of being there and of
participating, acting, doing, influencing and changing things there

Objective:
– To further the understanding of Presence in order to create novel ICT
systems that match human cognitive and affective capacities and recreate
the experiences of presence and interaction in mixed reality environments

Focus areas:
– Understanding different forms of Presence
(i.e., aspects of perception, interaction, emotions and affect)
– Design and development of essential ICT Building Blocks capturing different
forms of Presence and based on a range of relevant HW and SW ICT
technologies (rendering, 3D representation, tracking, haptics, light control,
etc.)
– Building novel Systems supporting Presence & Interaction
(open system architectures integrating the essential building blocks, open
source authoring tools, open APIs)


Support the realisation of Challenging and Visionary Scenarios
Integrated Projects
Situated and autonomic communications
A world pervaded by ubiquitous communication facilities
with self-organising and self-preserving functionalities

Objectives:
 To define a self-organising communication network concept and technology
that can be situated in multiple and dynamic contexts
 ranging from sensor networks to virtual networks of humans
 defining decentralised optimisation strategies
 benefiting from cross-layer or non-layered approaches
– To study how strategic needs of social or commercial nature impact on future
communication paradigms, and how networks and applications can support
society and economy, enabling a service oriented, requirement and trust
driven development of communication networks
• to develop networking technologies (hardware/software combinations) that can
evolve and create maximal synergy with the other types of non-technological
networks that constitute their context

Integrated Projects and Networks of Excellence
Simulating emergent properties in
complex systems
Framework of mathematical and computational techniques
for simulation of complex systems

Objective:
– We can engineer components of systems: How can we predict aggregate
behaviour?
– How can we infer models from (often incomplete) data?

Research challenges:
– How to cope with uncertainty in simulation of engineered and natural
systems?
– How to describe systems acting on multiple scales?
– How to integrate simulations on different levels?
