Projects & Initiatives
_________
NOTE:
EU research bodies currently fund hundreds of different Future Internet projects and initiatives. The items listed below are a small but representative sample.
_________
Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme
The Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL JP) is a funding activity running from 2008 to 2013, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life of older people and strengthening the industrial base in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
_________
APOLLON
The APOLLON Project merges Living Lab research and innovation process with the local, development. The Project will seek to demonstrate the positive impacts of cross-border, domain-specific Living Lab networks by setting up an advanced pilot composed of 4 thematically focused, European-wide, Living Lab experiments.
_________
Cloud for Europe
The Cloud for Europe project aims to build trust in European cloud computing by applying pre commercial procurement (PCP) as an instrument for industry innovation and simultaneously enhance cloud adoption in the public sector. The Project is funded by the European Commission under its Framework Programme for Research and Innovation and brings together 24 partners from 11 countries.
_________
EARTH (winner FI Award)
The overall goal of the EARTH project is to devise an Integrated Solution which will decrease the energy consumption of wireless devices by 50 % without degrading quality of service.
_________
EIT ICT Labs
EIT ICT Labs’ mission is to drive European leadership in ICT innovation for economic growth and quality of life.
_________
FInest
FInest (an EU FP7 Future Internet PPP use case project) aims to leverage Future Internet technology to the benefit of transport and logistics businesses and organisations.
_________
GEN6
Piloting IPv6 upgrade for eGovernment services in Europe. The pilot GEN6 will have 4 different national experiments (also called pilots), some of them replicated in a complementary way in different countries, considering different existing approaches with IPv4.
_________
GEYSERS
The GEYSERS project seeks to construct a virtual infrastructure representation layer for optical network and IT resources.
_________
I2Web
I2Web is a research project that aims to enable an accessible Future Internet for people with special needs.
_________
INDENICA
the INDENICA project aims to develop virtual, domain-specific platforms which will be fully open and interoperable. The project will provide methods, architectures, components, tools and assets for reuse-based creation of the adapted platforms.
_________
MAINS
The MAINS project will design, develop and implement a novel metro architecture supporting sub-wavelength granularity. It addresses the expanding requirements of the Network of the Future at a metro level by proposing a novel solution leveraging combination of ring and mesh sub-wavelength switched metro network technologies, fully controlled by and advanced control plane.
_________
MONARCA
The MONARCA aims to develop and validate solutions for multi-parametric, long term monitoring of behavioural and physiological information relevant to bipolar disorder. It will combine those solutions with an appropriate platform and a set of services into an innovative system for management, treatment, and self-treatment of the disease.
_________
OPENi
The OPENi project aims to deliver a consumer-centric, open source mobile cloud applications solution that will be the catalyst for mobile application innovation advancement.
_________
SeaDataNet 2
he overall objective of the SeaDataNet 2 project is to upgrade the present SeaDataNet infrastructure into an operationally robust and state-of-the-art Pan-European infrastructure for providing up-to-date and high quality access to ocean and marine metadata, data and data products extracted from member states.
_________
SIMPLI-CITY
The SIMPLICITY project will develop a holistic framework which structures and bundles potential services that could deliver data from the various sources to road user information systems as well as allows road users to make use of the data and to integrate it into their driving experience.
_________
SmartenIT
The SmartenIT project seeks to design an incentive-compatible cross-layer network management for providers of overlay-based applications, network providers, and end-users to ensure a QoE-awareness
_________
SmartSociety
The SmartSocity project’s goal is to move towards a hybrid system where people and machines work in tandem to build a smarter society. The project envisions a new generation of Collective Adaptive Systems centred on the two foundational notions of compositionality and diversity.
_________
SUPERHUB
The SUPERHUB project (SUstainable and PERsuasive Human Users moBility in future cities )provides a user-centric, integrated approach to multi-modal smart metropolitan mobility systems. It will design and test an open platform able to combine in real time all mobility offers from the relevant stakeholders together with a set of enabling mobility services able to address users mobility needs, to redesign transport route options and to foster behavioural changes.
_________
TrendMiner
The goal of this project is to deliver innovative, portable open-source real-time methods for cross-lingual mining and summation of large-scale stream media. TrendMiner will achieve this through an inter-disciplinary approach, combining deep linguistic methods from text processing, knowledge-based reasoning from web science, machine learning, economics, and political science.
