2. What are European technology platforms? • European Technology Platforms (ETPs) help industrial and academic research communities in specific technology fields to co-ordinate their research and tailor it to a common “strategic research agenda” (SRA), which sets out R&D goals, time frames and action plans for technological advances that are relevant to industry and society. • ETP stakeholders agree to support their strategic research agenda financially and to monitor its implementation. • In the Commission’s view, each ETP should represent all major stakeholders, including small and medium-sized firms, provided that they are willing to pool their knowledge and resources and possess the requisite R&D expertise.

3. What are European technology platforms? • For industry and academia, ETPs can help to: - build partnerships to share risk, pool resources, and compete worldwide, - speed up innovation, thanks to knowledge and experience sharing, and - build consensus around technology development strategies and other measures needed to turn research results into marketable products. • For the European Commission, ETPs can help to: - improve the return on public and private research investment, boost industry’s competitiveness and meet society’s needs, - boost research investment in Europe, and - develop common approaches to accelerate technological progress and take-up of new technologies.

4. What are European technology platforms? • The European Commission does not: - set up ETPs specifically to advise it. The Commission is not bound by ETPs’ decisions or recommendations, but it does consider them, along with other inputs to policy-making, - “earmark” EU research budgets for ETP members. A research projects that supports ETP aims must be submitted for EU research funding in just the same way as any other. It will be evaluated in the same way, and if selected, will be co-funded by the Commission, in the same way as any other research project - give ETPs any form of “privileged access” to the European Community budget.

7. Services in IT - Market Expectations Service is something used but not owned • Lower the risks for customers and improve value and reliability • Increase process flexibility for businesses as well as public institutions • Accept complex world environments, and co-operate on standards, so the end-user value can be created for a huge number of people in Europe NESSI is about transforming the EU economy through Service Oriented business models

8. NESSI - mid 2004: The Birth • Software & Services: A very significant European market • More than 215 B€ revenue – 4.4% growth in 2005, more than 6% expected in the 5 coming years • More than one million specialists • An engine for growth in Europe • Software and Services have become a strategic capability • Technological changes • A shift from Software products to Services • Increasing complexity and connectivity • A Need for large distributed and increasingly transparent systems • 13 Industrial founders and the EC estimate that we need to foster • the ability of European industry to master IT for innovation and • growth

9. NESSI - September 2005: The Launch NESSI was launched as a Technology Platform on the 7th of September 2005 in the Presence of Commissioner Viviane Reding • NESSI ambition is to • develop a visionary unified European strategy • implement technologies for • services architectures • software and grid infrastructures • trustworthy systems and services • For industry • For governments and administrations • For citizens • The budget required to reach these goals is estimated at 2.5 B€ for the FP7 period.

10. NESSI: The Mission To develop a visionary strategy for software and services driven by a common European Research Agenda, where innovation and business strength are reinforced by: • providing European Industry and the Public Sector with efficient services and software infrastructures to improve flexibility, interoperability and quality; • mastering complex software systems and their provision as service oriented utilities; • establishing the technological basis, the strategies and deployment policies to speed up the dynamics of the services eco-system ; • developing novel technologies, strategies and deployment policies that foster openness, through the increased adoption ofopen standards and open source software as well as the provision of open services; • fostering safety, security and the well-being of citizens by means of new societal applications, enhanced efficiency of industry and administrations, and competitive jobs; • …hence transforming the European economy into a knowledge based economy and enabling the European Software and IT services industry to attain a stronger global position

11. Can internet interact? Can trust be real-time? Can internet react to events and generate experience? Can computers disappear? The Grand Challenge • “Transform the Internet to service your life” • “Internet” to be • Alive (through services) • Pervasive through Trust • Rich (due to knowledge) • Invisible (ICT)

12. Dreaming the “net economy” Implementing the “service economy” Implementing the “net economy” The evolutionary motivation • Internet: • Phase 1 = “connectivity” • 80’s-90’s internet as communication infrastructure (eg. email) • Phase 2 = “show room” (web 1.0) • 90’s publication of first web sites, internet as an advertising infrastructure • Phase 3 = “universal library” (web 2.0) • 00’s easy access to any kind of unstructured content (eg. Google), active role of users (eg. WikiPedia) • Phase 4 = “Transform the Internet to service your life”(web 3.0?) • 10’s …

17. NESSI SRA: FP7 Research Areas Recommendations • Software and Service Engineering • Because evolving business process is too long and costly to exploit new opportunities • Service oriented utility infrastructure • Because dealing with IT resources is an unnecessary burden • Trust, Security and Dependability • Because mechanisms are not in place to build trust between users and providers • Open Source, Open Standards • Because we need strong interoperability and to avoid Market evolution be locked-in by vendors • Legal, social and cultural and scientific issues • Because old habits are always in the way • Knowledge and behaviour representation • Because computers allow the input of data but not the expression of needs and users are not in control of systems behaviour • Business Processes collaboration • Because business processes are isolated and fragmented (private to organisation, discipline, …) forcing individual solutions

19. WG Introduction NESSI Working Groups (NWGs) are key to the future of NESSI… … and this lonely guy is not a working group!

20. Mission of NESSI WG • Provide input for the SRA:  breadth  depth  requirements • Establish NESSI presence in specific communities • Liaise with other research activities • “Other activities” (focused contributions to standards bodies, …)

21. ESFORS NWG TSD NESSI TSD WG • European Security Forum for Web Services, ESFORS • European Technology Platform: Networked European Software & service Initiative , NESSI NESSI SB SC

22. Motivation for security WG • Demand for Secure software is much higher than available security expertise • New complex scenarios (e.g. ambient intelligence) introduce security issues not addressed by conventional engineering processes • Security properties difficult to measure and it is also difficult to evaluate their “compositional effects” • Security segmentation and market definitions are blurring: infrastructure security (e.g. VPN), perimeter security (e.g. firewall), desktop security (e.g. antivirus), server security (e.g. authorisation), application security • Service adoption: by 2008, at least 30% of enterprises that expose WS will experience attacks* • Applications will need to utilise shared and co-owned services out of different domains of control that require to obey separate security policies and ask for diverse security and dependability qualities • What makes WS security different from other software components: trust is a driver for security requirements, accountability is a must !!!

23. National Technology Platforms: the case of Spain • INÉS (Spanish initiative for software and services) is the national technology platform in the area of systems, software services and Grid: • Consists of 100 actors, namely companies, research centres, universities and public bodies • Core management team includes Atos Origin, the government of Asturias (CTIC), European Software Institute, UPM and Telefonica. • Launched in Madrid on December 15th 2005 • SRA presented on March 28th 2006 • General Assembly to be held on June 29th 2006 • More info at http://www.ines.org.es

24. National Technology Platforms: the case of Spain • Differences NESSI - INÉS • The SRA is built up based on two items: • Pulling factors: Spanish national situation, current business priorities, expected evolution of the country (Spain now -> Spain in 2015-2020) • Pushing factors: current Spanish researchers’ advancement point, work lines of R&D depts in industry and academia
