FET: identity
 IST’s
pathfinder activity and a nursery of new ideas
 Core
values
– Exploring “what’s next” scenaria
– Community building and mobilisation
– Interdisciplinarity - not for its own sake!
– Selective but open; unconstrained by mainstream
priorities
– Flexible, light procedures suited to basic research
FET: The OPEN scheme
 Widest
possible spectrum, bottom-up
– Primarily Research but also Support activities
 Any
innovative idea of quality
– high risk / high potential payoff research
– longer term foundational research
– embryonic research & proof-of-concept
FET: The OPEN scheme
 Research:
Implemented through STREPs
2-step process
– A short proposal submitted first, at any time
– Full proposals only if short proposal was successful
• Three evaluation cut-off dates per year (13 May 2003...)
– Evaluation: remote and in-Brussels
– Real-time process
 Support:
build research communities through
CAs and SSAs
1 step process
FET Proactive initiatives

Take an early lead in key future or emerging
technologies

Motivated by long-term visions and goals
– objective-driven

Implementation: one or more IPs (+ NoE?)

• Budget allows for new partners & tasks
• Dynamic re-adjustment of objectives & workplan
• Review on a continual basis
Roadmap for pro-actives 2003-2004

1st Call : Dec 2002
– Beyond robotics
– Complex systems research
– The disappearing computer 2

3rd Call (early 2003; subjects tentative!)
–
–
–
–
Quantum information processing
Molecular computing
Global computing
Life-like perception and cognition systems
Beyond robotics

Robot ecologies
– autonomous heterogeneous microrobot teams
– collective behaviour & intelligence

Robotic companions
– cognitive mobile aids to humans

Hybrid bionic systems
– augmenting human capabilities: perception of the
environment, motion etc, nervous system...

Build on NI and LPS work
 No “classical” robotics
Complex systems research
Use concepts and methods from complex system
analysis to develop novel IT systems
– scalable, robust, self-repairing and self-regulating
Areas



New design principles for dynamically evolving largescale information systems (IP)
Computational elements as metaphors of biological
complex systems (IP)
Ground complex systems research on a unified set of
concepts, methods and tools (NoE)
– Link information sciences to complex system research
– Relations to other proactive initiatives
Disappearing computer #2

Radically new architectures for ambient systems
– Universal and open
– Supporting an unbounded set of “building blocks”
• infinite configurations - unforeseeable functionalities

Representative scenaria of use
