4. ICT Forever Yours The rationale and objectives “The mass diffusion of digital systems and their pervasiveness in our everyday lives increases our expectations on the dependability, security and longevity of these systems. This requires new built-in mechanisms for –enhancing confidence in their usage, –preserving them from the threat of ageing, –protecting them from malicious intents in the context of highly decentralised and incremental development and deployment practices.” designing for longevity, diversity and security

5. ICT Forever Yours Research Objectives Eternal systems Self-sustaining, evolving, minimal intervention Future proof Knowledge, diversity and time Exploiting locally maintained knowledge Building on external knowledge Secure and dependable software Secure programming ‘Assessability’ in context ‘Projects should focus on one or several of the following:’

6. ICT Forever Yours Research focus 1 Eternal Systems to develop a theoretical and practical framework for extremely long-lived systems, requiring minimal intervention and management to thrive in spite of changes in: usage, host device, network context or data- and data protection formats … Systems should be future proof, able to preserve and update their original functionality in a machine-independent way, and ultimately by being self-sustaining and evolving

7. ICT Forever Yours Research focus 2 Knowledge, diversity and time  New approaches for “eternal” and reliable access to knowledge assets,  knowledge parts are produced locally, but exploited globally, and are endowed with ‘a sense of time and context’  robust against ageing, diversity of use and evolving semantics.

8. ICT Forever Yours Research focus 3 Secure and dependable software (highly distributed and heterogeneous software or of ambient systems.) Methods and tools for high-level verifiably secure and dependable programming, new metrics to aid assessability of the security and dependability Secure programming Secure design assessability Verifiable security Interactions of systems systems

9. ICT Forever Yours Coordination Action Coordination Actions Consolidation of research communities Visibility Research agendas National/regional research programmes or activities International cooperation …

10. ICT Forever Yours Some expected impact The research should contribute to design systems versatile in their interaction with modules, systems, services in their environment: –adapting to change in the environment with minimal intervention; –harnessing dispersed and dynamic content by exchanging knowledge at a semantic level that is robust against diversity of origin and use; –preserving or adapting original functionality and properties over time; –providing security to their environment through verifiably secure programming models; –offering assessibility of security and dependability in the context of their environment.
