14. Lessons learnt from previous calls Oversubscription in some fields Oversubscription in some fields – Need for more focus and more precision SMEs participation SMEs participation – Improving but can be strengthened Integration of the ICT research effort in an enlarged Europe Integration of the ICT research effort in an enlarged Europe – Participation of Member States that joined the EU recently and of Associated Candidate Countries below expectations International co-operation International co-operation – Domain-specific approaches are needed

15. IST WP2005-06: Focussing (1) Sharper descriptions of each SO Sharper descriptions of each SO Precisions on the use of the instruments within each SO Precisions on the use of the instruments within each SO Budget distribution between instruments adapted to each SO Budget distribution between instruments adapted to each SO

20. Main technology trends Increasing pervasiveness of ICT Increasing pervasiveness of ICT – Innovation from ICT “use” in different fields Increasing convergence Increasing convergence – Within ICT Communications/computing/media, fixed/wireless, etc.Communications/computing/media, fixed/wireless, etc. – Between ICT and other fields Info-bio, ICT-cogno, ICT-nano-materialsInfo-bio, ICT-cogno, ICT-nano-materials Higher levels of complexity Higher levels of complexity – Combination of skills and know how – Building increasingly complex systems

21. ICT “use“ : a driver for innovation Bringing closer services and technology developments Bringing closer services and technology developments – “Mobile service development platforms” shifted from “Applications and services for the mobile user” to “Mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G” – Micro-/nano-based subsystems: Focus on new application fields that drive innovation Trial of “Experience and Application Research“ Trial of “Experience and Application Research“ – Early user involvement – The “use“ is integrated into the research activity – eInclusion, collaborative working environments

22. Addressing the increasing complexity Support development of increasingly complex systems Support development of increasingly complex systems – Integration is an issue – Technology, Design tools, applications and generic systems research Examples Examples – SoCs and SiPs in Nanoelectronics – Network centric Operating systems (in Advanced Grid technologies, systems and services) – Embedded systems: design, cooperating objects, adhoc networks, etc.. – Managing complexity in Software and services – Complex systems in FET

Concentrate the research effort of Cognitive systems which was spread on several SOs into one SO in WP2005-06. This requires a refocus of the SOs on Multimodal interfaces, Semantic-based knowledge and content systems and Cognitive systems and some rebalancing of the budgets between these SOs.
