eEurope
Objectives
• Bringing every citizen home and school, every business and administration into the digital age.
• Creating a digitally literate Europe supported by an entrepreneurial culture.
• Ensuring the whole process is socially inclusive.
Action plan aiming at 2002. • Actions on Commission and member states
Underlying objective of creating an Information society for ALL has longer term perspectives...
eEUROPE Action Plan Objectives:
• A cheaper, faster and secure Internet
• Investing in people and skills
• Stimulate the use of the Internet
Some of the actions of the 1st Objective are:
• Give increased priority to supporting the development of information infrastructure and projects.
• Move towards full conversion to IPv6 through pilot implementation in Europe.
• Work towards introducing greater competition in local access networks.
• Achieve significant reductions in internet access tariffs.

WP2001 General features
Budget: from 950 (in 2000) to 850 MEuro: Need for further concentration
‘Ambient Intelligence’ remains the focus
• Additional precision with the Key Enabling Technologies
Emphasis on high-risk/high-reward and medium to long term
Reduction of the number of action lines Same overall structure and Al’s format as in 2000
KA4: Outline 19 RTD, 4 separate take-up, 1 training
• 23 +12 in WP2000
Further focus by reducing the number of Als and the description of each AL
New ALs spanning the Key Action:• Design of networked embedded systems
• Multiservice networks - middleware for seamless access to services
Better integration of fundamental/basic research
Streamlining/grouping of take-up activities
KA4 main themes
Networked embedded systems and devices in adaptive networks
Interoperability among heterogeneous networks and their increased capacity, agility and functionality
Systems-on-a-chip and reuse of IP blocks for ICT terminals, sensors, communication systems and networks
Seamless access to and provisioning of services Augmented human/system interaction
CPAs - Focus
Address topics common to several Key Actions• themes of strategic nature
• bringing together fragmented areas
• supporting aspects of integration and convergence
Provide an additional perspective to proposers
Defined by Action Lines in the workprogramme• Section 5 of workprogramme
Resources available …. ~12% of the IST budget
CPAs: Action lines Home environments Multi-sensorial, multi-modal and multilingual interaction GIS Dependability Smart cards Next Generation Networking Socio-economic impact and indicators eLearning for youth in the digital age Grid computing and challenging applications Regional pilot actions and demonstrations for the new economy Nanotechnology and applications in health, environment,..

Call 6 Call 7
IV.1.2 Multiservice networks - middleware for seamless access to services
Issue: generic requirements on infrastructures and technologies for seamless service delivery
Aim: make service access independent of underlying network, user location and terminal
Scope: fixed, mobile, wireless, satellite networks
signalling, mobility management, QoS, link-optimisation
bandwidth + resource optimisation
adaptive and ad-hoc networks (self-aware, self-organising)
protocol interworking, inter-networking handover
Issue: seamless interoperability among heterogeneous networks
Aim: improve capacity of networks to interoperate and support advanced (interactive, nomadic,..) services and applications
Scope: network gateways and protocols
integration: fixed/mobile, hybrid fibre/cable
interoperability: access/core, home/access
QoS support, Service Level Agreements, accounting
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability, interworking and management (i)
Issue: flexible control over networks and network services
Aim: dynamic optimisation of network resources to assure service transparency in a multi-domain context
Scope: active network management
harmonised approach to network management
dynamic reconfiguration of network elements for service deployment and support
IV.2.2 Network and services interoperability, interworking and management (ii)
Juxtaposition : IV.1.2 and IV.2.2
Context: Heterogeneity and the need for interoperability
