ISTAG Vision - “orientations for WP 2000 and beyond” ”Create an ambient intelligence landscape (for seamless delivery of services and applications) in Europe relying also upon testbeds and open source software, develop user-friendliness, and develop and converge the networking infrastructure in Europe to world-class" g. t/istag. htm. co is. w. cordis. lu/ist/ http: //ww 10

IST vision - examples n In the car n n At home n n Route optimisation & navigation (efficiency) Interpretation and reaction to obstacles (safety) Communications (mobile office) Natural interactions (voice, gesture) Services accessible everywhere (convenience) Security (protection), comfort (control) and care (illness) In the office n Where is my office ? Where is my integrated toolset ? other examples equally applicable ……. . Government Environment Health Media Learning Business 11

IST vision - building blocks The technology is all around us but almost invisible Ubiquity Dialogue Commonplace appliances-seamless services, . . . laid-back mode, enjoyable, . . . Networking Distribution Embedded • Fixed/mobile integration • Interworking/interrupt. • Embedded internet Interworking/interrupt. • Broadband/all-optical • Light weight OS’s • Mobile processes • Mobile IP • Scalability Interaction Convergence • Multi-modality • multilingual • personalised • Integration of on-line and broadcasting KA 3 KA 4 Trust generation • Security • Privacy • Dependability KA 2 KA 1 12

WP 2000 - presentation n Sharper action line description n n “Objectives” and “focus” format Clearer format n n Type of action specified for each Action Line Separate Take-up action lines in each KA Links with previous (WP 99) explained n Further programme level integration n More CPA’s (now 8) Introducing “test-beds” 13

WP 2000 - priorities n n n n Integrated approach to natural interactivity and user-friendliness Networked embedded devices (mobile and fixed) Convergence of infrastructure ( Mobile, IP, . . ) Integration of interactive and broadcasting services Supporting dynamic business value chains Reconsidering service development and provision Strengthening trust and confidence 14

Main highlights : Key Action I n Stronger focus on advancing the state-of-the-art for improved services: n n System integration, specific targeted components Ubiquitous/mobile access and advanced interaction modes Strong industrial/user participation desirable n New n n n Health : Best practice and testbeds in regional healthcare Administrations : smart government Elderly & disabled : Intelligent assistive systems & interfaces Environment : data fusion and smart sensors for demining Transport : Best practice in electronic fee collection 15

Main highlights : Key Action II Emphasis on medium to long-term n Further integration : n n Number of action lines reduced but refocused Introduced Action lines spanning the Key Action Take-up across the Key Action Trust and confidence reinforced n New n n n Mobility and ubiquity in e-commerce and e-work Dynamic value constellations 16

Main highlights : Key Action III n Emphasis on: n n n Take-up included throughout the Key Action n n Natural interaction Integration of interactive and broadcasting services to strengthen user-supplier interactions trails/best practice : on-the-job training in SME’s trails/best practice : multilingual e-commerce and e-service New n n Content-processing for domestic & mobile multimedia Cross-lingual information management and knowledge School of tomorrow Information visualisation 17

Main highlights : KAIV n Strengthening infrastructure convergence n n n IP/Mobile/fixed Broadcasting and communications Higher visibility to networked embedded devices, and related architectures n Embedded devices, Software, real-time systems Highlighting Openness of software and systems n Includes a comprehensive range of take-up measures n Two-phase perspective n n n Integration in short to medium term Higher performance and adaptivity in longer term 18

KAIV: New activity highlights n Software : n n n User centred interaction and functionality design enhancing creativity and early stages of software development best practice/trials : open source software and embedded systems Mobile systems : n n Interfaces : n n fourth generation systems and network concepts for wireless communication reconfigurable interfaced appliances Microelectronics : n Research training - accompanying measures 19

Cross-Programme Actions (pulling the pieces together) n Eight Actions n Natural interactions and dialogue modes (enjoyable…) n Home environments (ambient intelligence at home) n Survivability of large scale systems (trust and confidence. . ) n Mobility (mobile services. . ) n Next Generation Networks ( convergence of infrastructure) n Socio-economic (usability, acceptability, …) n Smart cards (seamless services. . ) n Statistical tools, methods, indicators & applications for the Information Society 20

Future & emerging technologies Open Scheme (continuous submission) n Two new proactive initiatives: n n n Disappearing computer Neuro-informatics Research Networking Interconnection n Advanced experiments: n n End to end experiments Integration Future networks 21

Cross-programme clusters n “Thematic” clusters of projects n n n Initiative lies with “projects” Make use of the PIM report Cluster activities based on … n n n im. htm. u/ t/ t/p is. lu/ist/cpt/ c. cord s http: //www. 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 22

IST Support Activities n n n Project clusters Networks of Excellence and working groups Channelling of Standardisation and Interoperability initiatives Improving Human Capital in IST-Research Enabling RTD Co-operation with Newly Associated States Enabling RTD Co-operation with 3 rd Counties Note - Continuous submission for accompanying measures (Support measures that are specific to a Key Action are called under the fixed deadline scheme) - Submission to DG-Research calls … + SME cooperative research & exploratory awards + Marie Curie training fellowships and bursaries for developing countries 23
