ICT

RESEARCH SUMMARY :

An autonomous sensor means that the sensor has its own power supply and is able to communicate automatically (or not) the information it collects to a database. The access to the database can be more or less restricted (internet). The sensor can be used individually or a part of a global network over a territory to establish a real-time mapping. The location of the sensor can be predetermined or known using a GPS for on-board systems. These sensors concern obviously many possible applications that everybody can easily figure out. We think that such a project could really touch the EU market and far beyond. Promising markets could be the ones meeting present social needs of exchanging information and/or sustainable development concerns. The discussion what we plan can be targeted towards one promising application but it would probably be more ambitious to think about the development of one standard plateform in terms of design and integration (i.e. focus on “autonomous” as a keyword) that could be later used for a large number of dedicated sensors.

Competitive calls: joining ICT ongoing FP7 projects

Some ongoing FP7 projects reserved a portion of their budgets for specific tasks to be carried out by a new beneficiary (or beneficiaries). These new beneficiaries will be selected from proposals submitted in response to a "competitive call".

The CREW - Cognitive Radio Experimentation World project will open a new call in September 2011.

The project consortium publish all necessary documentation and background information on their website: www.crew-project.eu/opencall

This biennial event has become a unique gathering point for researchers, business people, investors, and high level policy makers in the field of digital innovation.

ICT 2010 will focus on policy priorities such as Europe’s Digital Agenda and the next financial programme of the European Union for funding research and innovation in ICT.

At ICT 2010, you will find:

• latest research trends in information and communication technologies

• European priorities for 2.8 billion Euros research funding in ICT, 2011-2012

• Meet potential research and business partners at dozens of networking sessions

• an exhibition with over 5000 square meters of Europe’s latest cutting edge ICT research

Recent work on link mining and social networks has led to a convergence of methodologies for network modeling, incorporating classification, learning and reasoning with graphical models, frequent subgraph mining, relational representation, and link prediction, among other techniques. Many intelligent systems applications to information extraction, web search, and recommendation call for inferences to be made regarding the existence, type, or attributes of links. Some tasks, such as question answering using information networks, may require that inferences be based upon partial link information and made under uncertainty about participating entities and relationships.

The emphasis of this workshop shall be approaches based on relationship extraction from heterogeneous sources such as technical literature, news articles, social network profile data, and social media. Relevant media include, but are not limited to, forums, blogs, microblogging mechanisms such as Twitter and status updates, podcasts, video, and systems for rating and commenting. However, the scope is not limited to any particular approach to link analysis or any source of network information such as text corpora. Application areas that often exhibit a need for link analysis include:

* Bioinformatics and biomedicine: computational genomics, drug interaction, protein-protein interaction * Content-management systems: version control, wikification * Information security:attack graphs, information flow, mechanism design, trust networks * Knowledge and information management: data fusion, information integration, source attribution * Recommender systems for social networks:communities, experts, friends, products, reviewers, service providers * Spatiotemporal reasoning:epidemiology, link formation, meme propagation
