  6. Workprogramme - principles • Focus and concentration • Selection of limited set of objectives based on inputs received: • Socio economic drivers, realising the vision, constituency readiness,.. • “Europe’s options”: SWOTs analysis conducted at all levels • Integration • Ensuring co-evolution of technologies applications • Efficient exploitation of technology breakthroughs • Challenging applications pulling technology development • Best use of the new instruments • Realising ERA in IST • Focus on work that needs to be addressed at EU level • Incremental build up of Europe-wide approaches to RTD in IST

  7. IST Workprogramme - approach • A two year WP to ensure concentration of effort and visibility for the research Community • More limited number of calls (three over two years) • Concentration on a limited set of « Strategic Objectives » • Selection and focus based on Europe’s options.. • 23 Strategic Objectives (S.O.) for the two years • Addresses technologies and applications • Instruments • ~70% of budget targeted to new instruments • per S.O: ~3 to 4 IPs, 2 to 3 NoEs and number of STREPS/SCA

  8. Strategic objectives in Call 1 Strategic objectives in Call 2 • Pushing the limits of CMOS,preparing for post-CMOS • Micro and nano-systems • Broadband Access for All • Mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G • Towards a global dependability and security framework • Multimodal interfaces • Semantic-based knowledge systems • Networked audiovisual systems and home platforms • Networked business and government • eSafety for road and air transport • e Health • Technology-enhanced learning and access to cultural heritage • Advanced displays • Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components • Open development platforms for software and services • Cognitive systems • Embedded systems • Applications and services for the mobile user and worker • Cross-media content for leisure and entertainment • GRID-based Systems and solving complex problems • Improving Risk management • eInclusion • Product design and manufacturing 2010 Call sequence IST 2003-2004

  9. Middleware technologies The ST&DS area FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE Applications Operation Requirements Architecture, Design Deployment Implementation, Testing Long-term foundational research Software Process and Open Source Related key technologies Development Environments / Platforms Information management & database technology

  11. SW Productivity Gap Source: Eureka/ITEA

  12. European Software industry - status • Tool and Packaged SW weak (-) • OS, PC platform, standards and interoperability dominated by US industry (-) • 70% SW development within secondary industry (telecom, automotive, aerospace, engineering, …) (!) • Traditionally strong academic research, but may be declining (+/-) • Strong Open Source Community (+) • Emerging market for value added services (mobile) (+)

  13. Strategy for competitiveness (1) • Use Europe’s industrial strength in telecom, automotive, aircraft, consumer electronics, chemicals, etc. • RTD actions (i.p. IP) aim at building collaboration between: • large industrial user/developers • software (tool, COTS, component, service) vendors • supported by academic research, leading to strong (often sectorial) industrial networks • Foundational research only through STREPs and CAs • Where appropriate, complementarity and co-operation with work under EUREKA/ITEA

  14. Strategy for Competitiveness (2) Open Source Software • To support open standards, formats and platforms • To stimulate competition in the software industry • To accelerate development of eGovernment services • To stimulate open discussion and variety in the Information Society

  15. Strategy for competitiveness (3) A Strategic Objective in IST for RTD in Software and Service technologies Building open development and run-time environments for software and services (WP 2.3.2.3) • Use of European industrial strength and OSS community in an RTD effort to create: • Platforms of methods, tools and middleware for SW production • Which are modular and open to extension to specific domains • Covering all phases of SW life-cycle • Applicable to broad classes of software systems and services • Keep support to longer-term foundational research

  16. Strategy for competitiveness (4) Research Focus • High level methods, esp. for early development phases, for system design and integration (MDA), addressing non-functional aspects, autonomy, composability and distribution • Open, Modular and Customisable development environments supporting evolving processes, consistency and traceability • Light methodologies, esp. for co-operative and distributed development • Open platforms, middleware and languages for modeling, interoperability, composability and integration of distributed SW systems (incl. P2P, agents, dynamic adaptability and evolvability)

  17. Strategy for competitiveness (5) Services everywhere • Middleware for services interoperability • Service creation environment • Tools for service development • Software as a service (“software on command”, application services)
