European Initiatives

Within the context of the First Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Proactive projects under Horizon 2020 Framework Programme the GRACeFUL project started this year. From an application point of view the project develops scalable rapid assessment tools for collective policy making in global systems, and test these on climate-resilient urban design. From a technical point of view it provides domain specific languages that are embedded in functional programming and constraint programming languages. Within the project TASC is responsible for the constraint part. To interact with policy makers it uses some qualitative network model (see Figure 10) embedded with constraint programming models that also capture dependancy between potential actions as well as costs.
