Parallel Sessions
ARTEMIS & ITEA Co-summit 2011 - 25 October

Electric vehicles are expected to be an answer to the shortage of fossil fuel resources and for the complete deployment of renewable energy in a world where, at the same time, the number of electrically propelled vehicles is rapidly catching up with that of internal-combustion engine (ICE) powered ones and the production of energy from renewable resources is overtaking that from nuclear sources.

However this is still not enough to address other big problems in large urban areas: traffic congestion and road fatalities. The latter is still a primary cause of death and permanent injuries in OECD countries, while the former is the most important waste of time and an important source of stress.

Some 50 years of progress in ICT has improved our lives at home, in our offices and in our factories, and is expected to produce an even higher impact on the way we move. For instance, ICT is already speeding up our trips and making them more comfortable by smart seamless multimodality – already available on smart phones and integrated navigation services. Moreover, in the near future, it will allow our cars to drive by themselves, guided by the infrastructure or by artificial intelligence, and will make our vehicles cleaner, quieter, more efficient and less expensive. Finally, ICT will allow us full 3D mobility.

Featured speakers will discuss evolutions in ICT and the introduction of advanced personal transport systems ranging from urban electric means to driverless electric and ICE cars and personal aircrafts.

The global trends in healthcare will have a dramatic impact on society and healthcare markets. Demographics will change with an aging population and growth in the number of age-specific diseases.
Globally, economic standards are rising – especially in emerging countries – and the demand for affordable and high quality healthcare will increase worldwide. This growth will augment the shortage of professional staff. The expectation is that spending on healthcare costs will rise to 15% of gross domestic product (GDP) in many countries.

All this requires novel affordable solutions in the healthcare area throughout the healthcare life cycle – the so-called ‘Care Cycle’.

The goal of this session is to show the:

• Added value and contribution of ARTEMIS and ITEA 2 projects to tacking the societal challenges around the increasing costs of healthcare and offering affordable care to the aging population; and
• Growth of the ecosystem around healthcare within the software and systems community. 

We will address the total life cycle from being healthy and taking preventive measures at home, early diagnosis of diseases, detailed diagnoses and image-guided intervention and providing the right amount of monitoring during revalidation. The session will focus on the contribution of embedded systems to meeting healthcare challenges with several projects demonstrating potential solutions for the challenges ahead.

The projects involved will explain their approach and results, each covering part of the care cycle and showing the market opportunities for the results. More and more people want to stay independent – for example at home – as long as possible. The Chiron and Midas projects address solutions for home healthcare and support for the aging society. The Care4Me and Chiron projects address image-guided intervention and home monitoring during revalidation. The Aimes project addresses a novel solution for tracking equipment in hospitals.

Finally, we will have a discussion on how to become even more effective in finding solutions from the embedded-systems ecosystems around healthcare to address further the global trends in this market.

The objective of this parallel session is to produce a compelling analysis of trends in the field of ICT security from the viewpoint of European industry.

Security is becoming crucial for the digital world as the influence of ICT is spreading to many different industries and communities. ARTEMIS and ITEA 2 have already supported many projects on this topic. This session is dedicated to sharing a vision of significant trends in ICT security among our communities. The session viewpoint is of Europeanindustry and it covers different layers in the field including security policies, protocol security and hardware security.

To give this viewpoint, we intend to cover at least the following topics:

• A security landscape overview 
• Security in software protocols in the cloud
• Security policies management 
• Hardware security issues

Facilitator: Casper Garos,  Philips Healthcare

Speakers: 

• Mika Ståhlberg, VP Security Labs, F-Secure
• Juha Röning, University of Oulu 
• Thierry Winter, Bull/Evidian
• Hassan Triqui, CEO, Secure IC
