European Initiatives

• Title: Preparing industry to privacy-by-design by supporting its application in research.

• Type: COOPERATION (ICT).

• Instrument: Support Action (SA).

• Duration: October 2013 - September 2015.

• Coordinator: Trialog (France).

• Others partners: American University of Paris (France), Atos (Spain), Fraunhofer SIT (Germany), Galician Research and Development Center in Advanced Telecommunications (Spain), Inria (France), KU Leuven (Belgium), Trialog (France), Trilateral Research (UK), Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain), University of Ulm (Netherlands), Waterford Institute of Technology (UK).

• Abstract: the general goal of PRIPARE is to facilitate the application of privacy by design. To this aim, PRIPARE will support the practice of privacy by design by the ICT research community (to prepare for industry practice) and foster risk management culture through educational material targeted to a diversity of stakeholders. The project will specify a privacy by design software and systems engineering methodology combining a multidisciplinary expertise involving legal, engineering and business viewpoints. The project will also provide best practices material and educational material focusing on risk management of privacy for different target audiences (general public, policy makers, users, ICT students and professional). The project will also pave the way for future research by identifying gaps and providing recommendations for a research agenda for privacy by design.

• Title: Privacy preserving infrastructure for surveillance.

• Type: COOPERATION (ICT).

• Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP).

• Duration: January 2013 - December 2015.

• Coordinator: Trialog (France).

• Others partners: AIT (Austria), Inria (France), KU Leuven (Belgium), Trialog (France), Universidad de Malaga (Spain), Université de Namur (Belgium), Thales (France), Visual Tools (Spain).

• Abstract: PARIS will define and demonstrate a methodological approach for the development of surveillance infrastructure which enforces the right of citizens for privacy, justice and freedom and takes into account the evolving nature of such rights (e.g. aspects that are acceptable today might not be acceptable in the future), and the social and ethical nature of such rights (e.g. perception of such rights varies). The methodological approach will be based on two pillars, first a theoretical framework for balancing surveillance and data protection which fully integrates the concept of accountability, and secondly an associated process for the design of surveillance systems which takes from the start privacy (i.e. Privacy by Design) and accountability (i.e. Accountability by Design).

• Title: Future Internet Ware.

• Type: COOPERATION (ICT).

• Defi: PPP FI: Technology Foundation: Future Internet Core Platform.

• Instrument: Integrated Project (IP).

• Duration: May 2011 - April 2014.

• Coordinator: Telefonica. (Spain)

• Others partners: SAP (Germany), IBM (Israel, Switzerland), Inria (France), Thales Communications (France), Telecom Italia (Italy), France Telecom (France), Nokia Siemens Networks (Germany, Hungary, Finland), Deutsche Telekom (Germany), Technicolor (France), Ericsson (Sweden), Atos Origin (Spain), Ingeneria Informatica (Italy), Alcatel-Lucent (Italy, Germany), Siemens (Germany), Intel (Ireland), NEC (United Kingdom), Fraunhofer Institute (Germany), University of Madrid (Spain), University of Duisburg (Germany), University of Roma La Sapienza (Italy), University of Surrey (United Kingdom).

• Abstract: The goal of the FI-WARE project is to advance the global competitiveness of the EU economy by introducing an innovative infrastructure for cost-effective creation and delivery of services, providing high QoS and security guarantees. FI-WARE is designed to meet the demands of key market stakeholders across many different sectors, e.g., healthcare, telecommunications, and environmental services. The project unites major European industrial actors in an unique effort never seen before. The key deliverables of FI-WARE will deliver an open architecture and implementation of a novel service infrastructure, building upon generic and reusable building blocks developed in earlier research projects. This infrastructure will support emerging Future Internet (FI) services in multiple Usage Areas, and will exhibit significant and quantifiable improvements in the productivity, reliability and cost of service development and delivery - building a true foundation for the Future Internet.
