Generalizing Truth-Functionality (GETFUN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The Fregean-inspired Principle of Compositionality of Meaning (PoC), for formal languages, may be construed as asserting that the meaning of a compound expression is deterministically (and often recursively) analysable in terms of the meaning of its constituents, taking into account the mode in which these constituents are combined so as to form the compound expression. From a logical point of vi ...

Phonon-Assisted Processes for Energy Transfer and Sensing (PAPETS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

There is mounting experimental and theoretical evidence that suggests that coherent electronic and vibrational dynamics are essential to understand physiological processes. This project addresses this newly emerging frontier between biology and quantum physics by aiming to determine the role of coherent vibrational dynamics in the efficiency of energy storage in natural and artificial light harves ...

Beating Landauer’s Limit in the Quantum Regime (QUANTUMLANDAUER)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"Irreversible processes, such as resetting a logical register in a computer, result in heat dissipation. Landauer’s principle, linking information theory and thermodynamics, states that there is a minimum amount of heat dissipation, proportional to the reduction in the entropy of the logical register, imposed by the laws of thermodynamics. To possibly beat Landauer’s limit, we must first gain a be ...

Quantum Technologies for Europe (QUTE-EUROPE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Research in Quantum Information and Communication Technologies (QICT) has since many years gained an important European dimension. The number of research groups active in the field as well as the number of publications testify to the vigorous and scientifically proliferate state of the community and show that QIPC research in Europe is well on par and highly competitive with comparable activities ...

Virtual Embodiment and Robotic Re-Embodiment (VERE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

VERE aims to carry out research on the fusion of the human body with virtual or physical surrogates. By fuse we mean that human participants would operate under the illusion that the virtual body is their own, or that they are actually in the physical space of the real world in a robotic body that they perceive as their own. As well as providing a radical extension of traditional virtual reality ...

Networked energy-aware visual analysis (GreenEyes)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The potential of the Internet of Things is leading to a paradigm shift with an ambitious long-term vision, in which battery-operated sensing nodes are empowered with sight and are capable of complex visual analysis tasks. Unfortunately, this is out of reach with the current technology. GreenEyes will develop a comprehensive set of new methodologies, algorithms and protocols, to empower wireless se ...

Operating ICT basic switches below the Landauer limit (LANDAUER)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The scientific objective of this project is to test the fundamental limits in energy dissipation during the operation of physical switches representing the basic elements of logic gates. We address the physical limits arising from a generic switch mechanism that is common to any digital device, with specific reference to the fundamental limit arising from the decrease of information in the computa ...

Realistic Virtual Humans (GOLEM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

GOLEM will share knowledge between relevant partners in Industry and Academia in order to carry out multidisciplinary research to streamline the production pipeline for virtual (digital) characters. It will radically improve their appearance and animation, while keeping them affordable and easy to customize. A unique aspect of GOLEM is that its technological and engineering advances will be used t ...

Live Immerse Video-Audio Interactive Multimedia (3D VIVANT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

The aim of the project 3D VIVANT is to capture events automatically in 3D and deliver them for realistic, interactive and immersive play back to home users-viewers. This will require the project to create, develop and integrate a comprehensive range of components from the generic technology of 3D imaging. Real and virtual 3D content will be homogeneously combined/mixed producing a novel form of ri ...

Fully-Converged Quintuple-Play Integrated Optical-Wireless Access Architectures (FIVER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

FIVER project proposes and develops a novel integrated access network architecture employing only OFDM signals for the provision of quintuple play services (Internet, phone/voice, HDTV, wireless -WiMAX, UWB and LTE femtocell- and home security/control). FIVER architecture is completely integrated: The optical access FTTH, the in-home optical distribution network and the final radio link become par ...
