PSCE. Research Initiative (SRI)  PSCE - Public Safety Communication Forum Europe ( (  SRI is engaged in aggregating and benchmarking research projects results of different research projects and initiatives into one cohesive vision for the European research roadmap and development strategy platforms addressing safety, emergency and crisis management.  This initiative will be the voice and space of the safety researchers to come to disseminate and cross-network with peers to define future first responders requirements, evolution of standards, evolution of Safety technologies

SRI Motivation  Diversity of multidisciplinary research efforts in the area of PSC  Lack of clearly defined evolutional roadmap in R&D  There is no established European targeted international research program or research agenda that will be focused on public safety communication  There is lack of research toward the use and optimization of existing technologies that will take into account private public safety user requirements  The common European user requirements and scenarios to be considered in R&D and has not been developed yet  There is need in educational and training activities that will be focused on increasing awareness of new PSC technologies and their efficient use in PS operations.

SRI objectives  To develop Vision of Future Public Safety Communication (PSC) in Europe and in the World.  To define the evolutionary path (Roadmap) in PSC technology development. To identify the key element and milestones in PSC Technology Development Road Map.  To facilitate and establish new R&D projects  To develop a research agenda for PSC and establish a dialog and consultations with national and international research programs on its implementation (FP, EURECA/Celtic, Security research programme, National R&D agencies)  To establish a permanent SRI WG within the PSCE  To organize workshops, conferences, educational and coordination activities

CELTIC Programme & PSC  Integrated Communication Systems Solutions  Security  Services and Application  Infrastructures  Pan European Laboratory are the very important research areas for PSC R&D are the very important research areas for PSC R&D

Key PSC research interests areas  PSC from system perspective  NGN and PSC (Heterogeneous networks incl. public, private and ad hoc networks)  Federated test bed for European PSC  Interoperability at network and information levels  Information centric PSC  Integration of CIIP and PSC systems  Improvements /modifications of existing systems

Workshop motivation, objectives  To discuss potential for projects contribution to PSC  To identify common research problems and complementarities between projects  To establish cooperation between projects  To discuss new projects and initiatives  To identify necessary dissemination activities and coordination actions
