6. Topic 1: Expected Outcome • Direct impact: health care, water management, climate change mitigation, natural resoruce manegement… • Indirect Impact: Poverty reduction • Specific science fields to be impacted will depend on the exact scope of the proposals.

7. Topic 2 Sustainable technologies for a Smarter Society To explore system solutions to build sustainable complex systems that are cost effective, energy friendly, affordable and based on open standards to address current society challenges for better living, supporting the emergence of smart services and applications.

8. Topic 2 - R&D in this topic would target: Technologies, components and systems for the deployment of sustainable ICT solutions Systems development platforms that are cost effective, energy friendly, affordable and based on open standards Integration and/or re-use of existing components (sub-systems) in a systems-of-systems engineering perspective Demonstration of the final platform in a particular application area (energy-efficient buildings, transport and traffic management, smart grids, safety and control of the food or water supply, environment monitoring and control, etc.)

9. Topic 2: Expected Outcome In General: Systems-of-systems engineering, mixed criticalities Direct impact: Electricity, water and other natural resources management Communications and transport Education and health Climate change mitigation Indirect Impact: International standardisation efforts Sharing of best practices

10. Topic 3 Smart services and appl. for a Smarter Society • To support the deployment of interoperable infrastructures exploiting new trends on future internet and open data (namely from sensors and social networks) to create context aware services and applications of relevance for citizens in domains such as management and monitoring of large crowds at large scale events, emergency situations, mobility, etc.

11. Topic 3 - R&D in this topic would target: • ●To explore data "mash up" processes which synthesizes new information by collecting, connecting, reusing, combining and semantically aggregating disjoint information extracted from a plethora of sources • ●To develop smart, open experimental platforms to enhance the quality-of-experience of urban living • ●To support the deployment of interoperable wireless infrastructures exploiting new trends on Future Internet and open data • ●The federation of experimental platforms will be encouraged where appropriate

12.

13. Topic 4: Hybrid Broadcast-Broadband TV Applications and Services • Hybrid broadcast-broadband TV applications and services taking advantage of the widespread Internet connectivity will be developed for commercial use, for educational or to achieve other public goals. • Although TV broadcast transmission standards are different in Brazil and Europe, there is an opportunity to foster the development of intuitive and attractive new servicesconnecting broadcast and broadband seamlessly, whilst enabling new business models.

14. Advanced Hybrid Media Experience • Key issue: develop and author applications, which can run on differentdevices and software platforms • Further relevant aspects: • Synchronisation of content from different A/V sources running on different distributed types of devices. • Intelligent search and navigation mechanisms • Identity management, trust and security • Hyperlinking of video content, especially for social TV applications
