Adaptive and Passive Flow Control for Fan Broadband Noise Reduction (FLOCON)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Air traffic is predicted to grow by 5% per year in the short and medium term. Technology ad-vances are required to achieve this growth without unacceptable levels of noise. FLOCON addresses this issue by reducing fan noise at source through the development of innovative concepts based on flow control technologies. FLOCON is aimed primarily at reducing fan broadband noise. This is one of the most ...

Anticipating the Network of the Future - From Theory to Design (Euro-NF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Future networks became a central topic with a large debate whether moving towards the new networked society will be evolutionary or disruptive. In the future networked society the physical and the digital worlds will merge based on the massive usage of wireless sensor networks. Objects will be able to identify and locate themselves and to communicate through radio interfaces. Self-organized edge n ...

valiDation of Radical Engine Architecture systeMs (DREAM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

"Since the publication of the ACARE goals, the commercial and political pressure to reduce CO2 has increased considerably. DREAM is the response of the aero-engine community to this pressure. The first major DREAM objective is to design, integrate and validate new engine concepts based on open rotor contra-rotating architectures to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions 7% beyond the ACARE 2020 ...

Foresight of Evolving Security Threats Posed by Emerging Technologies (FESTOS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The FESTOS goal is to identify and assess evolving security threats posed by abuse or inadequate use of emerging technologies and new S&T knowledge, and to propose means to reduce their likelihood. Almost all such knowledge can be abused or cause damage through inadequate use. In a free society this should not hinder free generation and exchange of knowledge. As the pace of science-based developm ...

Distributed Supervisory Control of Large Plants (DISC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Supervisory control is a formal approach for the control of discrete event systems that aims to solve logical problems of safety, resource allocation, liveness, and fault diagnosis that can be encountered in all systems with a high degree of automation. It provides a conceptual framework for developing methods and tools for system design.An open issue is the application of this methodology to thos ...

"Development of a high power ultrasound system for the low-cost, fast, effective and quality drying of fruit and vegetables" (ULTRAVEG)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,

"Dried food is a major element in modern food processing and a staple ingredient for an increasing variety of foodstuffs. Dried food offers many advantages for the mass production of commercially prepared goods, not least cheaper transportation costs, longer storage life and ease of use. However modern drying methods, such as Accelerated Freeze-Drying, prove costly, time consuming, labour and ener ...

4WARD - Architecture and Design for the Future Internet (4WARD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

Today's network architectures are stifling innovation, restricting it mostly to the application level while the need for structural change is increasingly evident. The absence of adequate facilities to design, optimize and interoperate new networks currently forces a convergence to an architecture that is suboptimal for many applications and that cannot support innovations within itself, the Inter ...
