Cross Programme Themes in the IST programme - Cross Programme Actions - Cross Programme Clusters

CPAs - what are they? Address topics common to several Key Actions Address topics common to several Key Actions –themes of strategic nature that reflect the IST vision –bringing together fragmented areas –supporting aspects of integration and convergence Provide an additional perspective to proposers Provide an additional perspective to proposers Defined by Action Lines in the workprogramme Defined by Action Lines in the workprogramme –Section 5 of workprogramme Resources available …. ~12% of the IST budget Resources available …. ~12% of the IST budget “… of which at least10% for cross-programme themes, and a minimum of 2% for integrated application platforms” (~400 MEuro)

CPAs - where do they come from ? Linking to IST Advisory Group vision Linking to IST Advisory Group vision –Home environments (ambient intelligence at home) –Natural interactions and dialogue modes (enjoyable…) –Mobility (mobile services..) –Survivability of large scale systems (trust and confidence..) –Smart cards (seamless services..) –Next Generation Networks (convergence of infrastructure) –Socio-economic (usability, acceptability,…) –Statistical tools, methods, (Information Society indicators)

CPA1: Extended Home environments CPA2: User friendliness, Human factors CPA3: Ubiquitous and intelligent info-mobility CPA4: Large scale systems survivability CPA5: Smart Cards CPA6: Next generation networks CPA7: Socio-Economic analysis CPA8: Statistical tools, methods, indicators Cross Programme Project Clusters CPAs - as an integrating mechanism

CPAs in WP more details CPA1: Extended Home environments CPA1: Extended Home environments –convergence of media and integration of broadcasting and interactive services –seamless interconnection and interoperability between networked appliances (household devices,..) CPA2: Human factors, multilingual and multi-modal dialogue modes CPA2: Human factors, multilingual and multi-modal dialogue modes –integration and use of multiple modalities, including language, gestures, emotions, augmented, synthetic and virtual reality –e.g. next generation mobiles, personal assistants, & devices used in homes, cars, schools and at work

CPAs in WP more details CPA3: Ubiquitous and intelligent info-mobility and geo-information systems CPA3: Ubiquitous and intelligent info-mobility and geo-information systems –new / improved user friendly info-mobility services for transport / travel, business, tourism, leisure and other applications CPA4: Large scale systems survivability CPA4: Large scale systems survivability –technologies to cope with vulnerabilities of large-scale multi-jurisdictional and unbounded systems –relying on self-organising, self-diagnostic capabilities, and on middle-ware mediating between services

CPAs in WP more details CPA5: Smart cards CPA5: Smart cards –security, mobility, interoperability, multi-functionality and harmonisation of smart card systems. –fostering European-wide deployment across activity sectors (e.g. health, retailing, finance & banking, electronic business) CPA6: Next generation networks CPA6: Next generation networks –novel infrastructures that results from the convergence of IP (internet protocol), fixed, mobile & wireless technologies and architectures from a technological and service perspective.

CPAs in WP more details CPA7: Socio-economic analysis for the Information Society – –understanding of the challenges, impacts and opportunities associated with the deployment and use of new IST solutions – –identifying their potential implications for future policy activities – –design requirements for usable and effective IST solutions CPA8: Statistical tools, methods, indicators and applications for the Information Society – –statistical datamining, statistical modelling, representation and analysis of non-numerical data – –socio-economic statistical indicators for the Information Society.

CPAs - some advice on proposals Proposals DO NOT have to ….. Proposals DO NOT have to ….. –address all Key Actions –disqualify themselves from other Action Lines –be broad and extra-multidisciplinary Proposals SHOULD …. Proposals SHOULD …. –have clear & focused objectives aligned with the CPA –submit proposal to CPA (1st choice) –identify related workprogramme Action Lines –identify a “centre of gravity” of the work CPAs are not a back-door to closed Action Lines CPAs are not a back-door to closed Action Lines

CPAs - a normal procedure CPA support CPA support –teams of Project Officers from all Key Actions Call & evaluation Call & evaluation –as any other IST Action Line –evaluation panel with programme-wide expertise CPA roadmap for 2000 CPA roadmap for 2000 –Call 3: CPA4, CPA5, CPA7, CPA8 –Call 4: CPA1, CPA2 –Call 5: CPA3, CPA6 Selected proposals Selected proposals –negotiation, contracting & follow-up in Key Actions –allocation to Key Actions with closest affinity to work –CPAs may provide an opportunity for clusters

Clusters “Thematic” clusters of projects “Thematic” clusters of projects –Initiative lies with “projects” –Make use of the PIM (IPPA) reports –Project fact sheets on IST-Web Cluster activities based on … Cluster activities based on … –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
