• The Vision & Strategic Research Agenda

• Next Steps – meeting the global challenge

Key objectives of Technology Platforms

• The drawing up of a Strategic Research Agenda including long term vision

• Identify technology and non-technology barriers to development, deployment and the use of technology

• The achievement of the necessary critical mass for research and innovation

• The mobilisation of substantial public and private funding

• Projects in Framework Programme 7 will be carried out under the umbrella of the eMobility Technology Platform

Technology Platforms - The shared vision

• Support the renewed Lisbon Strategy for a competitive, knowledge-based society

• Drive future technology developments in mobile and wireless communications that serve Europe's citizens and the European economy

• Enhance cooperation between industry players, the research community and public authorities

• Mid- to long-term vision (2015+ ) to maximise the benefit of mobile and wireless communications, thus enabling economic and social advances in the EU

• Formulation of an action plan and time-table for the key developments

• Evolution of a consistent policy, spectrum and regulatory framework

Mission Statement

• Achieve full mobile access to applications for European citizens, building on European strength in wireless communication

• Develop the technology to provide optimal applications relying on the most promising technologies and network resources

• Focus European R&D resources to exploit the coming business opportunities in mobile and wireless to the benefit of the European economy, and ensuring eInclusion especially for new member states

Rationale for investment

• Mobile & wireless products and services have an economic impact greater than the INTERNET

• Public investments in other regions is growing rapidly (Asia, N. America)

• Job creation – from 4 Million jobs now to 10 Million in 2010

• Europe should ride the next wave of wireless innovation

• Mobile services account for about 3% of European GDP at present

Networking tomorrow will be as pervasive as microprocessors are today

Ubiquitous Services

• Mobile applications and services are no longer separate “add-ons”, but are an integral part of everyday life! This includes also personal service creation!

• Service creation technology is a key enabler to boost the services market in Europe

“Make service creation and delivery as easy as constructing and delivering Web pages”

Simplicity

Drive performance and efficiencybeyond today’s limits

New Approach to Efficiency

• Current practice:• Air-interface and system-level protocols not

designed together• System planning and protocols are designed

based on fixed average statistics (particularly freq. allocation) whereas mobile networks are dynamic in nature

• Future Approach:• Joint optimisation of link-level & system level• New system topologies• Adaptation (cross-layers) • Auto-planning (self-organisation)• Opportunistic Communications

– DSA (Network) & DSS (Terminal-CR)

Security, Privacy & Trust

Rationale• Technology convergence• Transactions across different networks • Context-based communications

– Demand high emphasis on provision of network security for user’s trust, confidence and security and security of user’s information for privacy.

Research Priorities• Secure Software Environment including O/S• Virus protection (virus, trojan, DoS attacks)/Intrusion

Detection• Secure exchange of user profile data• Safe Terminal Re-configurability• Secure Execution Environment• Secure SW Download

Interaction between Technology Platforms

• Sharing ideas - creating a larger space– Complementing areas - together addressing

the entire value chain of the industry

• Initial meetings between Technology Platforms “Core Groups”

– Identifying common technology and non-technology barriers to development, deployment and the use of technology

• Providing focus - maximising use of resources– Agreed areas of interest between different platforms provides means for good

efficiency and less duplication

• The Liaison officer’s responsibility– To carry out and initiate contacts identified

Europe is being challenged !

• Asian countries, such as China and Korea, are making substantial efforts to overtake Europe in this strategically crucial domain

• The USA dominates in the short-range wireless technology sector and invests its defense budget in supporting technological advances

Europe today accounts for around one third of global ICT sales, which are growing at 5% per year, with double-digit growth in emerging markets such as India and China

Scope of eMobility to address the challenges

• Competitive phase– Competition law has to be respected– Limited cooperation

• Semi-competitive phase– Specification and standardisation– Industry standards and proprietary solutions also

possible and relevant• Pre-competitive phase

– Collaborative research, much cooperation• Collaboration at European level must add

value

Potential topics beyond research

Market Development- How to meet the demand of the world markets

Regulations for growth- How to stimulate the internal European organisation/market

Standards and specifications for seamless services- How to create “seamless” eMobility

Infospace and services infrastructure- How to establish the capabilities required (Usage driven)

Developing the technology base for leadership- How to get the techno-economics right

Large-scale European approaches to system research and development

Impact of R & D will be on …

• eGovernance– Communication between state & citizen

• Environmental and personal security– Always-on sensing and monitoring

• Societal interactions – Interpersonal and person-business relationships

as well as behavior will change• Increased industrial efficiency

– Always-everywhere brings new business models, revolutionising value-chains

Meeting the Challenge

• Competing in a changing worldLeadership requires concerted efforts of all players including regulators and governments to provide the environment needed for growth

• Consensus buildingComplexity and need for global standards, requires cooperation beginning with research

• Europe’s industry is fully committed10-20% of turn-over are committed to R & D, where the collaborative R&D comprises less than 1%
