WP2001 General features
Budget: from 950 (in 2000) to 850 MEuro: Need for
further concentration
 ‘Ambient Intelligence’ remains the focus

• Additional precision with the Key Enabling
Technologies
Emphasis on high-risk/high-reward and medium to
long term
 Reduction of the number of action lines
 Same overall structure and Al’s format as in 2000

KA4: Outline

19 RTD, 4 separate take-up, 1 training
• 23 +12 in WP2000

Further focus by reducing the number of Als and the description
of each AL

New ALs spanning the Key Action:
• Design of networked embedded systems
• Multiservice networks - middleware for seamless access to services

Better integration of fundamental/basic research

Streamlining/grouping of take-up activities
KA4 main themes

Networked embedded systems and devices in adaptive
networks

Interoperability among heterogeneous networks and their
increased capacity, agility and functionality

Systems-on-a-chip and reuse of IP blocks for ICT terminals,
sensors, communication systems and networks

Seamless access to and provisioning of services

Augmented human/system interaction
CPAs - Focus

Address topics common to several Key Actions
• themes of strategic nature
• 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

IV.1.2 Multiservice networks - middleware for
seamless access to services
Issue: generic requirements on infrastructures and technologies for
seamless service delivery
Aim: make service access independent of underlying network,
user location and terminal
Scope: fixed, mobile, wireless, satellite networks
signalling, mobility management, QoS, link-optimisation
bandwidth + resource optimisation
adaptive and ad-hoc networks (self-aware, self-organising)
protocol interworking, inter-networking handover
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability,
interworking and management (i)
Issue: seamless interoperability among heterogeneous networks
Aim: improve capacity of networks to interoperate and support
advanced (interactive, nomadic,..) services and applications
Scope: network gateways and protocols
integration: fixed/mobile, hybrid fibre/cable
interoperability: access/core, home/access
QoS support, Service Level Agreements, accounting
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability,
interworking and management (ii)
Issue: flexible control over networks and network services
Aim: dynamic optimisation of network resources to assure
service transparency in a multi-domain context
Scope: active network management
harmonised approach to network management
dynamic reconfiguration of network elements for service
deployment and support
Juxtaposition : IV.1.2 and IV.2.2
Context:
Heterogeneity and the need for interoperability
