The ultimate aim of this session is to identify the key topics that should be considered when defining the FP7 Research Agenda. A preliminary list of research issues are drawn in the Annex 1 of draft NEM vision. You can subscribe at IST Event 2004 Networking to participate in the session and/or to express your interest on the Initiative.
Draft Programme • Where we are in the NAVSHP domain today? The portfolio. The overall DRM as a challenging example. • Is the European industry ready to commit on an enhanced Research Environment? Is profitable researching in Europe? Are R+D forces working on the same direction? Do we need reference architectures to progress and find synergies? • The broadcasting digitalization. Are the technological problems solved? Is HDTV the new opportunity? Integration DVB-S2, DVB-H. • Future Technological Challenges for Free to Air Broadcating • Will be the future based on Multimedia-ready networks? How important TV over DSL will be? Triple play (internet, TV and telephone) is now the standard offer for most Telecom operators. At present, the real profit comes from personal communication: Telephone and P2P are the basic business drivers and TV and other MM services (distribution services) are offered as an add-on. In order to have a profitable service, important developments are required, both in access and network control but also in content generation and interworking. They cover from network standardization to new content creation but also consider user education and societal changes. • Who will solve the equation audiovisual-broadband-new media-mobility-extended home-cost ? Digital convergence -- soon in a handset near you! • The DVB 3.0. More success? • The launch of Industrial Initiatives and Technology Platforms. Towards defining the FP7 framework. • Expressions of interest • Are new technologies necessary to make more efficient use of the network resources, especially in wireless scenarios at home? • What is the new sphere for home platforms? • Wrap-up. |
During the presentations of the themes included in the draft program, references to the environment will be made: economic impacts, market, SMEs, regulation, standardization, and globalization as crucial constrains when defining the long term research agenda. All the interested persons having participated in the New Media Council and the NEM are encouraged to actively participate in this networking session.
The format of the networking session is based on brief and concise messages for about 7 minutes from each speaker introducing the affair, stimulating about 3 to 5 minutes debate and summarizing the conclusions for about 1 minute.
There will be a report from the session including a summary of the expressions of interests made by the participants in the networking session as well as those expressed through the IST 2004 event website facilities.
