A paper by Lieven Trappeniers, Marc Roelands, Marc Godon, Johan Criel, Philippe Dobbelaere Bell Laboratories Alcatel-Lucent. Antwerpen, Belgium (lieven.trappeniers at alcatel-lucent.be):"With continuing trends towards miniaturization and lowpower connectivity, an abundance of connected smart objects - the Internet-of-Things [1] is expected to emerge. As a consequence, also the market for applications leveraging this swarm-of-nodes is huge. However, as traditional "operated" network infrastructure will gradually be complemented with these huge amounts of connected smart objects, a gap still exists for application enabling technology platforms.

"Objective This horizontal ERA-NET proposal is cutting across several themes in the Cooperation Programme: Theme 2 (Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology), Theme 3 (Information and Communication Technologies) and Theme 6 (Environment including Climate Change). The overall strategic objective - also beyond the time frame of the ERA-NET proposal - is a contribution to increase quality, effectiveness and efficiency of national research programmes within Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Robotics for a competitive, sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture."

"I think we both understand that this is the key; "A further step would consist in setting up a more permanent collaboration mechanism (forum? Network?) for integration/coordination of efforts between different initiatives" The hard part is figuring out how it may be implemented so it brings together (the secretariats of) so many publicly funded initiatives; both in Europe and on other continents. E.g. Paradiso's terena's, geant's, NEM's, epractice's, global plaza's, etc, etc. Fundamentally, we have this problem with publicly funded initiatives that there is little coordination to be SEEN going on between NCP."
