  1. Information Society Technologies APPLICATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 1st PROJECT CONCERTATION MEETING 4-5 MAY 2000 - CCAB, Brussels Wolfgang BOCH European Commission Head of Unit DGINFSO/B4

  2. IST - Environmental Applications Scope of presentation: (1) Objectives of the Concertation Meeting (2) The Environment Action in the Information Technologies Programme (1998-2002) - Results from 1st Call - 1999 (3) New call for environment proposals in IST - June 2000 (4) The vision: Ambient Intelligence, Industrial ecology (5) Events & Publications

  3. IST - Environmental Applications Objectives of the Concertation Meeting: (1) To provide a platform for information exchange between FP5-IST projects & beyond (2) To build links with corresponding RTD actions (e.g. ESD) and environmental policy frameworks (e.g. DG ENV, TEN-TELECOM) (3) To help identify potential clusters / cluster activities (4) To maximise the impact of the Union’s IST programme

  4. IST- KA1 -Environment Applications TEN-Telecom DG Environment (Policy) Environment and Sustainable Development (ESD) - KA 1, 3, 4 & Generic Activities IST - Environmental Applications Links with other Programmes / Actions ISTKA 2, 3, 4

  5. 1st IST Call: Launched: 15 March 1999 Closing: 16 June 1999 1999 Action Lines for KA1 Environment: Intelligent Environmental monitoring and management systems (AL I.5.1) Environmental risk and emergency management systems (AL I.5.2) Evaluation: July 1999 Negotiation: Sept. - Oct. 1999 Contract preparation & signature: Nov. - Dec. 1999 Project Start: Jan. 2000 IST - Environmental Applications

  6. IST - Key Action I - 1st Call 1999Environment “Intelligent environmental monitoring and management” (AL I.5.1) Objectives • Integrated management systems including environmental planning and early warning • Monitor slow chronic changes and pollution • Assess new business models for value-added environmental info-services • Contribute to European and global standards for Data Exchange • Contribute to preservation of natural resources

  7. IST - Key Action I - 1st Call 1999Environment “Environmental risk and emergency management” (AL I.5.2) Objectives • Support the emergency management cycle from prevention to follow-up • Contribute and establish European standards for emergency management tools • Focus on floods, forest fires, land slides and industrial accidents, severe weather, geological risks

  13. IST Workplan 2000 New Call for Environmental Applications • Publication Date: 15 June 2000 (indicative) - 4th IST Call • Objectives • improve environment quality and protection from environment risk • reliable information provision to the citizen

  14. Environment WP 2000 • 1a. Intelligent Environmental Management • generic* information & management • noise pollution management, indoor environments • 1b. Risks and Emergency Management • generic* emergency systems • flood management systems* environmental domain & location independent Priorities

  15. IST Workplan 2000 Calls for Environmental Applications Focus (1) Environment Management Systems, including e.g. indoorenvironments, noise pollution (2) Emerging Management Systems, covering natural and industrial risks - New systems involving high performance and distributed computing, advanced model simulation, UMTS and satellite networks, data mining, EO data, sensor networks, advanced simulation techniques and decision support systems - Adaptive models and tools for full life-cycle emergency and risk management - RTD to enhance industrial consensus on interoperability, environmental data exchange and procedures Description

  16. ISTAG Vision “Create an ambient intelligence landscape(for seamless delivery of services and applications)in Europe relying also upon testbeds andopen source software, develop user-friendliness,and develop and converge the networking infrastructure in Europe to world-class” Ambient intelligence = ubiquitous computing + Ubiquitous communication + Intelligent Interface http://www.cordis.lu/ist/istag.htm

  17. The vision: ISTAG-WG4 10 key technologies • Micro Opto Electronics • IP Mobile Wireless • Converging Access and Core Networks • Multidomain Network Management • Middleware and distributed systems • Embedded Intelligence • Multilingual and Dialog Mode • Multimodal and Adaptive Interfaces • Cross Media Content • Trust and Confidence

  18. Vision - IST Environment Ambient Intelligence paradigm applied to Environment • moving from “control & command” towards “market pull” • promoting industrial ecology concepts (preservation & sustainability) • promoting new business models for Value-Added environment information systems services • develop new smart sensor technologies (e.g. wearable) • ensure more efficient use of natural resources • address citizen’s needs on Environment and Health
