FP7-ICT-2007-1 ICT Challenge 1: Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures

February 16th, 2007

Now it cannot be said that the EU do not provide you with information, they do, in fact sometimes so much that it’s hard to find out anything.
Given that FP7 ICT Call 1 is around the cornerI’ve been reviewing the general work programme and the given challenges set forth for this call.
For today I’m going to give a little insight to ICT : Programme : Challenge 1 – Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures
For Call 1 there will be 5 topics to be addressed
1. The network of the future
2. Service and software architectures, infrastructures and engineering
3. ICT in support of the networked enterprise
4. Secure, dependable and trusted infrastructures
5. Networked media
Wow a little look into these topics and the areas are still very far reaching. But what are the targets?
Well how would

Anywhere, anytime, any device
seamless, ubiquitous
broadband, mobile
reconfigurable to load/use/context

grab you?
Or

Trillions of devices connected

“Built-in” security and trust

Highly dependable software and systems

Full support to distributed value chains and to the networked enterprise

Ahh now I’m just getting confused, looks like attendance at the ICT Challenge 1: Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures Information Day on the 26th of Feb. 2007 is needed.
