4 4 Introduction Introduction This brochure provides an extensive overview of EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group s research and development activities and of the goals of EITKIC_ project supported by the Research and Technological Innovation Fund. The EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group, the only EIT ICT Labs (associate) partner located in the Central and Eastern European region was established in The partnership consists of the Eötvös loránd Tudományegyetem (ELTE), the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Ericsson Hungary Ltd., Hungarian Telekom, Cisco Systems Hungary Ltd., Nokia Solutions Networks Hungary Ltd., GE Healthcare as well as several SMEs of the region. The physical Co-location Centre, a meeting point, where also many of the EIT ICT Labs activities are carried out was set up from the support of the EITKIC_ carrier project. Introducing EIT ICT Labs The European Institute of Technology (EIT) is an independent community body set up by the European Union to address Europe's innovation gap. European organisations are considered to deliver excellence in research and top-level scientific output, but lag behind in the ability of converting these into wealth-generating innovations and service ready for the market. EIT aims to rapidly emerge as a key driver of EU s sustainable growth and competitiveness through the stimulation of worldleading innovation by linking education, research, and business - the knowledge triangle - in Europe together. The institution s headquarter is located in Budapest and the organization's budget for the period reached up to EUR 300 million. Independent operational units, so-called Knowledge and Innovation Communities put the innovation web into practice. A KIC is a highly integrated, creative and excellence-driven partnership, which brings together the fields of education, technology, research, business and entrepreneurship in order to produce new innovations and new innovation models that inspire others to emulate it. KICs are driving an effective translation between partners in ideas, technology, culture and business models, and are creating new business for existing industry and for new endeavours alike. EIT ICT Labs, Climate KIC and KIC InnoEnergy are the first three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) created by the EIT in European IInstitute nstitute of European Innovation & Technology Te Technology ec Innovation Research Higher Education KIC IInnoEner InnoEnergy nnoenergy gy Climate-KIC Clima te-kic Climate KIC Business EIT ICT Labs KIC InnoEnergy

Willem Jonker, CEO of EIT ICT Labs at the Inauguration of the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Doctoral Training Centre EIT ICT Labs is a pan-european research-based innovation and education organisation founded on excellence. EIT ICT Labs mission is to drive European leadership in ICT innovation for economic growth and quality of life. By linking education, research and business, EIT ICT Labs empowers ICT top talents for the future and brings ICT innovations to life. The ecosystem is characterised by an open and collaborative way of working with partners representing global companies, leading research centres and top ranked universities in the field of ICT. Since 2010, EIT ICT Labs has consistently mobilised talents, ideas, technologies, investments as well as business across Europe andbeyond.

6 6 ICT and Innovation The HUF 1 Billion Research Program of Informatics Launched by the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group in 2013 The National Development Agency issued a call for proposals in 2012 on the promotion of Hungary s participation in the EIT KICs and its cooperation with the EIT KIC partners. The EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group with Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and Cisco Systems Ltd. as its members, has been granted HUF 1 billion funding by the state to set up the local Co-Location Centre and serve as a carrier for the research projects carried out between March 2013 and the first half of To promote the innovation of the projects presented, the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group follows the EIT s investment model in its structure of financing. EIT funding (the so-called catalyst 25%) is allocated to the value-adding actions leading to a particular innovation, whereas the non-eit funding (the so-called carrier 75%) covers the complementary research, educational, or business programs. The non-eit funding may be of different types, coming from national governments, industry or other EU sources. The Budapest Associate Partner Group s first significant research activities thus greatly benefit from the state funding awarded by the Research and Technological Innovation Fund and it also catalyses EIT funds. Conference on the establishment of the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group, 5 March 2013, ELTE Globe Aula The researchers worked on four main research areas: 1. Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 2. Mobility and the digital cities of the future 3. Human-computer collaboration 4. The security of critical systems The EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group is responsible for the complete scientific and financial management and co-ordination of this project and for ensuring the program s operational framework. The research projects of the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group are planned to produce 10 new prototypes, one patent, one new start-up, and to contribute to at least 10 international R&D projects initiated jointly by the members of the consortium. Prof. Zoltán Horváth, Director of the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group, Dean of the Faculty of Informatics, ELTE Apart from the technology based ICT research and development activities, the project explored what kind of solutions help to start businesses built on them. Not only the market opportunities of local startup companies were analysed, but structures and methods to support the new businesses at EIT ICT Labs Budapest were also established.

7 ICT and Innovation 7 The Project EITKIC_ s Connection to EIT ICT Labs Action Lines and Projects The EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group follows the EIT s investment model in its structure of financing. EIT funding (the so-called catalyst) is allocated to the value-adding actions leading to a particular innovation, whereas the non-eit funding (the so-called carrier) covers complementary activities, including research, education, and business. These catalysts are expected to create a specific innovation in all three main categories; business, education and research. In education for example special focus is put on teaching the know-how of business implementation of theoretical results by developing intensive entrepreneurship programs for students. EIT ICT Labs R&D&I activities affect education, business and research at the same time. These can be arranged in ten thematic categories (called action line): (1) Computing in the Cloud, (2) Digital Cities of the Future, (3) Networking Solutions for Future Media, (4) Health & Wellbeing (5) ICT-mediated Human Activity, (6) Intelligent Mobility and Transportation Systems, (7) Internet Technologies and Architecture, (8) Smart Energy Systems, (9) Smart Spaces and (10) Privacy, Secu- rity & Trust in Information Society. EIT ICT Labs supports the creation of new, commercially successful innovations at the above listed areas. The connection of the EITKIC_ program subprojects to the EIT ICT Labs projects are highlighted in the report.

8 8 ICT and Innovation Research Programs Managed as Part of the EITKIC_ Project I. Solutions for complex infocommunication networks II. Mobility and the digital cities of the future The benefits we gain from the digital world are based on services supported by a carefully built network. Networks are best rooted in internet infrastructures, whose system components are continuously adjusted to the needs of the market. Research and development in this area requires an experimental environment, where the applicability of the results may be effectively tested. Research and development further needs a consideration of the special needs of the medical services, for example. Earlier medical services were provided by a separate network; now we are faced with the challenge as how to integrate such services into the more general infocommunication networks. The services of the present day require greater data transfer and data load, which pose further challenges for the networks of the future. Research programs implemented within the project: 1. Distributed mobile computations for cyber-physicalsystems 2. Smart content delivery and storage 3. Large-scale network measurements and monitoring infederated virtual testbeds 4. Smart ubiquitous content 5. Analysing the P2P traffic 6. DroidLab smart experiments In the area of ICT applications and services, social media, in its many different forms, represents the most dominant trend. The concept of digital cities is an expansion of the concept social media : it implies a virtual community defined by its geographic boundaries. The digital city implies virtual skills and services, which improve quality of our life. To access the inhabitants individually, we also need to reconsider the concept of mobility. Intelligent mobility implies a network which provides context-depended services. Individuals need different services depending on their specific location, e.g. the type of building they are in. Therefore, in providing the right service, it is crucial to identify their location with great precision. The smart space concept points at solutions based on near field communication (NFC) technologies. Research programs implemented within the project: 1. Device-free localization 2. Personal traffic forecaster (Travel Dashboard) 3. Framework system to optimize combined traffic methods (INTCO) 4. Future forwarding solutions - Efficient content sharing 5. Future digital social fields and mobility This research area corresponds to three EIT ICT Labs thematic action lines namely, the Networking Solutions for Future Media, Health & Wellbeing and Internet Technologies and Architecture. This research area corresponds to three EIT ICT Labs thematic action lines namely, Smart Spaces, Digital Cities of the Future and Intelligent Mobility and Transportation Systems.

9 ICT and Innovation 9 III. Human-computer collaboration IV. The security of critical systems Infocommunication technologies play an important role in all spheres of life. We use mobile devices, equipped with a large number of censors, to network with other people and to generate Petabytes of data. As a result, the methods of teaching and learning have diversified, and life-long learning, on-the-job training, and the integration of marginal social groups have emerged as new opportunities. The aim of the related projects is to bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds. This requires groundbreaking human-computer cooperation based on artifical intelligence results, as well as new approaches in handling web, mobility and navigational data, and a new perspective on how individuals and the society work. To reach the above goals, computing in the cloud provides scalable algorithm techniques, and new approaches to connecting the human with the computer. Research programs implemented within the project: 1. EIT s cloud-based data intensive computing infrastructure (Stratosphere) 2. Context-based behavioural model - Computers as social actors (CASA) 3. Development and test games for children with special needs 4. Mobile and multimodal man - machine in- terfaces 5. Human-computer collaboration in (workplace) education As services, based on the continuous monitoring of the private spheres of our lives have become wide-spread, issues of security have come to the fore. Safety and privacy laws require technologies, where digital devices may effectively detect, record and monitor the individuals movements in the digital space or digital cities. Apart from the individuals, critical networks -such as the ones providing energy services - present further challenges. To preserve their security, we need an effective framework for safety, which effectively detects targeted ICT attacks against critical infrastructures, handles the problems that emerge from the attacks, and supports follow-up analysis. Research programs implemented within the project: 1. Security and privacy in critical systems 2. Privacy in self-tracking systems This research area corresponds to two EIT ICT Labs thematic action lines namely, Smart Energy Systems and Privacy, Security & Trust in Information Society. This research area corresponds to two EIT ICT Labs thematic action lines namely, ICT-mediated Human Activity and Computing in the Cloud.

10 10 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks I. SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEx INFOCOMMUNICATION NETwORKS 1. Distributed mobile computations for cyber-physical systems Enhance social well being through the usage of mobile devices and WIFI technology in medical environment. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our systems to ones that respond more quickly (autonomous collision avoidance), are more precise (robotic surgery and nano-tolerance manufacturing), are able to work in dangerous or inaccessible environments (autonomous systems for search and rescue firefighting, and exploration), provide large-scale, distributed coordination (automated traffic control), are highly efficient (zero-net energy buildings), augment human capabilities, and enhance societal wellbeing (assistive technologies and ubiquitous healthcare monitoring and delivery). Reliable, scalable, easy-tomaintain software, and methods for testing and monitoring are required in the CPS domain. Moreover, we are faced many interesting challenges. For example, how can we integrate medical services into infocommunication networks, and how can we recognize patterns in clients' personal data as measured by hospital equipment and to ensure that this data is verifiable? EIT ICT Labs action line Cyber-Physical Systems Medical CPS Environments activity, Data Mining Application. Mobil devices, including wearable and wireless technologies, will be able to help people with special needs by providing alternative control by means of head, gaze, or voice. Our project deals with context-dependent and real-time face recognition adapted to personal needs (such as emotion, cognitive state, and communication capabilities). Experiments are now proceeding with technologies such as gaze-controlled web-cameras, a movement analyzer working in 9 different angles, and smartphone-enabled eyewear that can project images onto our retinas Soſtware development methods for programming cyber-physical systems Introducing Réa, a language built for better controlling of distributed physical systems.

11 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 11 Cyber-physical systems running in a distributed computing environment are built from physical and software processes. Accordingly, a substantial part of their development is typically composed of synchronizing activities, managing errors, and ensuring reliable execution. The purpose of our research is to develop software development methodologies and tools to facilitate the development of certain types of cyber-physical applications. We have chosen to adapt task-oriented programming techniques to cyber-physical systems programming. The principle of the task-oriented approach is to describe an application as a system of the tasks that comprise it. One task's result can be used by another, and composite tasks can be constructed from simpler tasks, thus forming a hierarchical system. From this highlevel, abstract description, distributed processes are generated, such that communication between the processes provides the exchange and transfer of tasks' results. For constructing task-oriented programs, we propose a new domain-specific language named Réa. In the course of the project, we've experimented with various different solutions. We tested three language environments, all of which were based on the functional programming paradigm, and thus provide the right conditions for testable, provably correct software construction. The Erlang language provides excellent opportunities for describing distributed and fault-tolerant behavior. We implemented Réa's prototype as an embedding in an extended version of Erlang, using the RefactorErl tool for static program analysis and transformation, which was developed here at our faculty. One of the biggest challenges in developing mobile code technologies was that in Réa, it is possible to express calculations that require sending tasks across the network. Since the prototype implementation based on RefactorErl turned out to have a slow and cumbersome compilation environment, we developed a new solution, in which Réa has a self-contained (not embedded) compiler, and yet continues to emit Erlang code. The lack of a static type system in Erlang was to be ameliorated: experiments were carried out to implement Réa in Scala, a statically-typed language. We chose Akka, an Erlang-style environment, for this purpose. In addition to the Réa language, we explored how the Clean/iTask system can be further developed along the same principles that inspired Réa. In conclusion, we have developed and implemented a static program analysis method for investigating the processes of an Erlang program and their communication connections. Currently we're working on improving the results of analysis by integrating Réa-specific knowledge.

12 12 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 2. Smart content delivery and storage Develop energy-efficient and cost-effective networking solutions to support increasing traffic, new traffic types and devices. Being continously connected to, having access to and sharing the content of a network is an everyday practice today. Peer-to-peer (P2P) approach becomes increasingly interesting also for video streaming applications. In recent years theoretical and practical solutions have arised that allow to share multimedia content for millions of users at the same time. The performance of mobile devices allows them to participate in streaming and multimedia content distribution applications, but mobile devices typically have limited storage and limited computing resources. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects EIT ICT Labs action line Future Networking Solutions that focuses on cost effective and energy efficient networking solutions to support the increasing traffic, new traffic types and devices. In the "SmartUC" project an open source network coding library is developed, which supports P2P content distribution, particularly in mobile environments. It is examined, how network coding can be used to improve the transmission in P2P systems. In P2P video streaming systems, the streaming availability and continuity of the video hugely depends on the topology in which the joining devices are organized, and on the methods used by the devices for exchanging information: the strategy for selecting the blocks to download from neighboring peers, and the encoding of the blocks. The theoretical investigations are backed up by simulations. For this, a P2P streaming simulator is developed. In addition to further theoretical investigation and developing new methods for P2P content distribution, we are working on a prototype system for network coding based on P2P streaming.

13 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 13 Project presentation of Sándor Laki, Assistant Research Fellow at the Open Day of the Faculty of Informatics, ELTE on 21 November Large-scale network measurements and monitoring in federated virtualized testbeds Developing new measurement methods for federated testbeds in Future Internet facilities. Future Internet facilities have gone through a significant evolution during the past several years: on the one hand, previously independent testbeds are federated under one supersystem, and on the other hand virtualization became an important feature. Consequently, monitoring capabilities need to be reworked in state of the art testbeds to allow other service components and testbed-users to follow the current state of the network, and to enable intelligent, automatized decision-making of the system, e.g. during the embedding of a vir- tual topology. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The EIT ICTLabs project FITTING has directly been benefited from the results of our carrier subproject (Future Networking Solutions action line) In the project works are done on a universal monitoring solution for federated testbeds. The monitoring and network measurement framework developed in the carrier has been integrated into the PlanetLab Europe testbed and the MySlice testbed federation and resource browsing tool developed by UPMC and Inria. In this way, besides FITTING infrastructures, our SONoMA framework has become an integrated part of OneLab facility ( that is an umbrella of European Future Internet testbeds, services and tools. As next steps graphical user interfaces are being developed that will make easier to submit monitoring requests and retrieve the measurement results; analysing the effects of cross testbed measurements; implementing standard authentication and authorization methods that are fully compliant with the OneLab facility and introducing measurement policies to improve security and prevent malicious usage.

14 14 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 4. Smart Ubiquous Content Presentation of Dr. Csaba Simon, Senior Lecturer at the EIT ICT Labs Co-Location Centre Budapest Development of network coding solutions for testbeds of Android devices that helps efficient information collecting without human supervision. The solution proposed is to distribute sensor information in distributed peer-to-peer networks by the use of Network Coding techniques. The sensory data are typically small volume data and the data collecting strategies needs to take into account as well. It is expected that the application of network coding techniques will be largely adopted by the networking community. We develop an algorithm that directs collection of data and synchronizes the network. The solution is implemented into and demonstrated on a test network of Android devices. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The program is connected to the Smart content delivery and storage for mobile networks with network coding - TFMC (2013) project (Future Networking Solutions action line) The collection of NFC based sensory data will be of special interest for the operators of smart metering applications. Moreover, the developed open platform allows third parties to adopt our solutions. The next step is to integrate the test network with the theoret- ical solutions.

15 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks Analysing the P2P traffic Develop methods for optimizing P2P traffic for Internet Service Providers. The optimization of P2P traffic is important for Internet Service Providers because P2P applications do not use the network of Internet Service Providers efficiently. This is because P2P applications establish connections according to a logical network structure which is independent of the underlying physical network. In this project researchers investigated how outgoing and incoming P2P traffic of an Internet Service Provider can be optimized. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects This project is related to the Future Networking Solutions EIT ICT Labs project by the simulator program that is useful to generate such P2P traffic that have similar features like the one in the network of the Internet Service Provider. To minimize the P2P traffic the outgoing peer requests were served by a cache of finite size in the network of the Internet Service Provider. The cache is a temporary storage and it can be used to increase the number of data request which are served internally. The researchers developed a simulator program that generates P2P request sequence and serves this sequence from the cache if possible, according to the actual content of the cache. Different caching algorithms were implemented and their efficiency was examined. In the following step researchers will consider the optimization of a distributed set of caches in the network of Internet Service Provider.

16 16 Solutions for complex infocommunication networks 6. Droidlab smart experiments Balázs Lajtha, Ph.D student, researcher of the DroidLab subproject presents at the EIT ICT Labs Co-Location Centre Budapest Building a framework that allows the real-world testing of different networking applications written for Android devices. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The project aims at applications that do not run on standalone smartphones, but build on the ad hoc communication of a large set of devices. Testing the operation and efficiency of such applications is usually hard to implement; therefore, very often simulations are used, based on very simplified models, reducing thus greatly the credibility of the results. As opposed to this, with the help of the DroidLab framework real applications can run on real Android devices, generating real measurement results. DroidLab is therefore a very helpful test platform for innovative applications and services. The DroidLab subproject is part of the EIT ICT Labs FIT- TING (Future Networking Solutions Internet of Things) project, which aims at the federation of different national and international test networks (such as PlanetLab, SensLab, DroidLab) using a unified control and manage- ment framework. The DroidLab framework is ready for operation in pilot mode. It is available on Google Play Store, and the uploaded version will be refreshed after each significant update. The back-end is also operational in the Google AppEngine cloud, although with restricted security features. The sample module and sample plugin are also available, together with the developer documentation, based on which real plugins and real modules can be developed.

17 Mobility and the digital cities of the future 17 II. MOBILITy AND THE DIGITAL CITIES OF THE FUTURE 1. Device-free localization Develop a system that is able to detect human movement wihout the one being detected having a mobile device on. The aim of the project is to develop a passive positioning system, and to create a prototype system, which is based on our passive system. To demonstrate how the system works, a labyrinth game will be created. However, the system could also be used to save human life in buildings filled with fires and smokes, or detecting thiefs in big storehouses. In the recent period of the development of the passive localization system the former simple Master-Slave connection was extended. Furthermore, the positioning algorithm was implemented in MATLAB environment and a serial communication device between the two subsystems (data collecting and data process- ing systems) was designed. As a a next step of the project, the separated sub-systems sensor network, data collecting system, data processing and image processing system will be connected to each other, and the system will be tested in real-life circumstances.

18 18 Mobility and the digital cities of the future 2. Personal traffic forecaster (Travel Dashboard) Develop a GPS application to make city life easier and forecast traffic jams. In the urban area of a livable digital city intelligent mobility implies a network, which provides context-dependent services - depending on their specific location. Data had been collected from trucks and travellers, and a traffic forecaster has been developed that can predict to drivers in advance in a helpful and amusing way, what further disruptions are expected in the wake of an already existing congestion using patterns calculated on traffic measurements. This mobile GPS indicator determines thus not only the location of a congestion, but also the expected change with time in the traffic on the basis of the information collected on the obstacle (kinetic time series analysis) and it can propose an appropriate (personalized) alternative bypass.

19 Mobility and the digital cities of the future Framework system to optimize combined traffic methods (INTCO) Provide solutions to help complex decision making related to public transport. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The INTCO project aims at the specification and the realization of integration framework that can be used for the economical optimization of multimodal mobility and transportation. Works in the project cover Intelligent Mobility and Transportation Systems - Multimodal Mobility within EIT ICT Labs. The work on integration of data from various sources is supported by EIT (within Activity Multimodal Mobility). The Multimodal Transport program is designed to calculate the shortest route between two coordinates, taking into account the opportunities offered by the multi-modal transport. Our goal is to develop a framework that is able to optimize routing between places, considering different aspects (travel time, cost, fuel consumption, etc.), and the con- stantly changing nature of the system.

20 20 Mobility and the digital cities of the future 4. Future Forwarding solutions - Efficient content sharing An efficient and fast method to pretest and serve multimedia services and differentiate subscription groups. The ever growing share of multimedia serrvices, the increased importance of multimedia content within the social networking applications and the adoption of wideband wireless internet technologies the networks are loaded with large multimedia traffic. The proper selection, service and the dedicated handling of different user groups are important for the operators. These needs are addressed by the vendors by the introduction of various state representation solutions in the edge routers and media gateways. The proposal has a fast, dynamic and efficient answer to this issue, thus it is expected that the results will be adopted by both open software communities (Linux, Open WRT) and telecom equipment vendors. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The program is connected to EIT s Future Networking Solutions (2013) and Future Programmable Networks - FNS (2014) project. Round Robin based Bloom Filter (RRBF) with analytical methods were characterized, a theoretical model for RRBF based traffic classification has benn developed, and simulation and analysis of these theoretical models have been created. The next step is to examine the theoretical model, and it is planned to test in a real network.

21 Mobility and the digital cities of the future Future digital social fields and mobility Development of innovative transportation services applying crowdsource methods to reduce the negative impact caused by the daily urban transport. The main goal of this project is to take a closer look at the vision of "smart cities" and explore the possibilities of developing smart city applications based on crowdsourcing. In this case, the power of the crowd is exploited for data collection and environment monitoring via the participatory users' mobile devices instead of using expensive pre-established infrastructures. The collected information forms the basis to create smart city services such as live public transport information service or city parking assistants, just to name a few we have been implementing and investigating. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The project has a close connection to the City Crowd Source activity in the Urban Life and Mobility action line of EIT ICT Labs. The possibilities of developing localization and also a parking assistance system for the indoor environment were investigated and there is a plan to extend it to outdoor, cityscale environment. Moreover, a prototype smart phone application for Android platform, called TrafficInfo has been developed, which implements a crowdsourcing based live public transport information service. TrafficInfo visualizes the actual position of public transport vehicles with live updates of the given city on top of Google Maps, and gives support to crowdsourced data collection and passenger feedback. The next step is the development of an application to support downtown parking. Contact: Project leader: Dr. Károly Farkas, Associate Professor BME Department of Networked Systems and Services

22 22 Human-computer collaboration III. HUMAN-COMPUTER COLLABORATION 1. EIT s cloud-based data intensive computing infrastructure (Stratosphere) Develop a platform to analyise high-volume, high-velocity data of heterogeneous format. Lecture of Dr. András Benczúr, research group leader at the EIT ICT Labs Co-Location Centre Budapest The users of the framework come both from SMEs and the large scale industry who analyze Big Data, including telecommunication, mobility, corporate IT, social media, recommender systems and Web analytics. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The researchers participate in the development of a data analytics platform for high-volume, high-velocity data of heterogeneous format, with the innovative unique selling proposition to automatically optimize and parallelize complex data analytics programs that involve complex user-defined functions, iterative processing and shared state. The project is connected to the EUROPA project, a flagship activity within the EIT Future Cloud Action Line. A Stratosphere based iterative MapReduce jobs for graph based features has been developed, in particular for truncated PageRank variants and approximate neighborhood counting. The team worked over the Web classification task in close collaboration with Internet Memory Research. As part of the collaboration, the cross-lingual classification problem was solved as one of the business needs. In this task, researchers may rely on existing English training labels for classifying unlabeled collections in other languages as needed by Internet Memory Research customers. The team participates in the new open source release of Stratosphere with XQuery capabilities and are also collaborating with a new, Berlin based startup offering Stratosphere as a big data analytics plat- form. A hackathon was organised centered on Stratosphere at Gravity R&D premises in Budapest as an educational activity for participating students, teaching them distributed systems and processing of big data in parallel architectures. The event was an opportunity for networking and recruiting between the partner Universities and SMEs, with participants from Prezi and Virgo Systems.

23 Human-computer collaboration Context-based behavioral model - Computers as Social Actors (CaSA) HANDORINO (based on the idea of researchers of the Institute of Education, Szeged) is an internet based game developing children s inductive reasoning in a playful way. The subproject uses a gaming model for the general case. The game serves interactive teaching and supports remote interaction with teachers or parents. The aim is to learn and predict the meaning of individual personal reactions (facial expressions) in the context of the gaming and learning situation together with the appropriate reaction of the teacher, who can help, increase or decrease the level of the stress, whereas performance and development can be monitored. A large body of data have been collected when children played the game alone, with and without a frame game orwith and without options to interact with each other. The innovation is in the crowd sourcing nature of the data collection, the authoring tools, and the option of imitating the teacher for performance optimization. Inductive reasoning game, English as a 2nd language game, tale teller game and authoring tools have been produced together with ELTE s start-up. Tests have been carried out and results have been presented and discussed at international meetings: children liked the game and learned without noticing that they were practicing. Multi-player and multi-platform modes are ready, as well as authoring tools. Emotional feedback is feasible. Facial expression can be monitored and speedup for mobiles is in progress. We are working on the organization of the community who will use our games and create new ones.

Development and test games for children with special needs Special needs should be discovered as soon as possible in order to efficiently counteract them: games with screening capabilities are in need. Some special need children need special tools for gaming and communication. Intelligent tools, including controllable and movable mobile phones, intelligent talking boards and smart glasses were combined with real and gaming scenarios. Efforts were made to make Handorino, the entertaining educational game with value added, accessible. Tools of conversation like picture communication symbol boards were adapted for head driven, or limb driven control means and were tested on severely disabled, non-speaking but speech understanding children. Data collection is critical and cloud support is necessary, thus the title of the project is Playful Learning on the Cloud. Development of alternative smart communication tools makes the innovative part of the project that should meet the demands. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects Smart Spaces Action Line, Playful learning on the Cloud activity. Mousense, a webcam based head tracking tool that can be used to control the cursor was extended for Android and ios platforms. Smart glass was equipped with a 9-degree-of-freedom inertial motion unit to serve the same purpose: in this case the screen is the head-mounted display of the glass. Gazetracking cameras on the glass were added and tested; they enable gaze-direction based control of the cursor. Software tools that can change cursor functions from point-andclick to drag-and-drop and alike were developed. The educational game design meets the accessibility constraints. Tests were carried out under different conditions. Special screening games were developed for searching and finding autistic children. Recordings were analyzed during playing dyscalculia testing games. The next steps are to extend and verify screening functionalities, contact special need organizations and develop high level products from the prototypes.

25 Human-computer collaboration Mobile and multimodal man-machine interfaces Automatized text reading and speech coding technologies for intelligent mobile devices. The aim of the subproject is the study of the latest interaction plaforms (smartphone, smarttv, public information systems, etc.), the creation of new components and finally the creation of new interaction applications. On the one hand a new speech coding method is created for HMM-based speech synthesis (basic research), while on the other hand we plan to create new man-machine interface solutions for information provisioning on the following three fields: car interior/touristical information; indoor; health-related examples. A new speech coding method was created that can be advantageous in HMM-based speech synthesis. The creation of a nearly human-quality public adress information service system has been started. There is an intend to bring the speech coding method from a lab prototype level (scripts, several separate sub-modules, Matlab code) to runtime level on smart platform(s) (mainly smartphone/tablet). The team wants to implement a service prototype of the public adress information service system. There seems to be serious business interest in this solution.

26 26 Human-computer collaboration 5. Human-computer collaboration in (workplace) education The research implemented in collaboration with Cisco Systems Hungary seeks the answers to the following questions: what tools and solutions are developed, used and implemented by the organizations for the creation, development or the improvement of knowledge management and organizational learning. The result of today s dynamic economic and social environment is a knowledge-based society. Researchers and managers have recognized that knowledge is the base of both individual and company-wide competitiveness, thus it has become a key faculty of businesses how to create their own knowledge within the organization and how it can be managed, preserved, developed and re-used within the company in order to enhance customer value while reducing costs. However, organizational learning ability must be radically improved to acquisite, develop and preserve knowledge. In a complex, dynamic, knowledge-based society both the forms and the sites of learning are changing. The role of the school as the traditional location of education has decreased in learning. In contrast the role of the workplace has increased. On-the-job and off-the-job types of learning methods are mentioned in the HR practices in respect of workplace learning. Researchers are investigating the different forms of learnings that can be interpreted at work, during the course of work, to deepen the understanding of workplace learning. The results of these studies were compared and a theoretical summary has been written to present different possibilities of interpretation of workplace learning. The issue of further researches could examine whether it is possible to reach value-added growth and to achieve high leverage by using the business modeling tool of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) in company's innovation activities. After investigating the development of the innovative practices at a domestic software company it is clear that BMC application helps developers to handle complex value-added activities and support them to think in a consumer oriented way. One of the most important results of the researches Demonstration of the subproject at the Researcher's Night on 27 September 2013 at the EIT ICT Labs Co-Location Centre Budapest is that a properly used business model practice can help to reduce uncertainty in innovation and shorten the product launch cycle.

27 The security of critical systems 27 IV. THE SECURITy OF CRITICAL SySTEMS 1. Security and privacy in critical systems Develop a security framework for critical infrastructures that enables the detection of targeted attacks, and supports incident handling as well as forensic analysis. Recent targeted attacks (e.g., Stuxnet, Duqu, amd Flame) clearly show that the security of our critical information is not protected effectively. The security framework that was developed in the project will help to alleviate this problem. The security framework is based on honeypot technology, the usage of static and dynamic code analysis tools, and privacy preserving sharing of incident related information. The novelty of the work is that known security technologies are combined in a new way to create effective defense and incident handling systems taking into account the specialities of critical infrastructure environments. Connection to EIT ICT Labs action lines and projects The sub-project is connected to the EIT ICT Labs catalyst poroject called "SecSES - Secure Energy Systems", which is in the Smart En- ergy Systems action line. A main activity in the project is the development of a high-interaction PLC honeypot. The honeypot must reliably simulate the services of a real PLC device. With the honeypot, ongoing attacks against critical infrastructure systems can be identified and new attack vectors can be collected. Another activity in the project is the development of a Linux kernel based detection system, which can collect information about attackers and monitor systems, while being totally hidden from the threat actor.

28 28 The security of critical systems 2. Privacy in self-tracking systems Develop and design privacy-preserving methods and applications. Health & Wellbeing, Self-tracking and Smart Spaces are very hot topics nowadays. Leading researchers and futurists are guessing self-tracking for ` The next Big Thing'', however the security and privacy aspects of these applications are not considered unfortunately. The anonymity of the participants can be extremely important in medical environments, hence the main building block of every private and secure application in these topics is the anonymous communication channel. The main goal of the research is to develop and design privacy-preserving methods and applications related to the above topics. The project focuses on two main directions. In the first one a privacy-preserving system is developed which is able to share the medical data of a user stored on some communication device to authorized entities only using sophisticated hierarchical access control mechanism. The user has to be able to assign several levels of access of his sensitive medical data which could be available by groups of medical employees, like medical doctors, emergency assistants or pharmacists. The framework of the system and the desired secure communication protocols was elaborated. The other direction is to develop and implement a decentralized anonymous position-sharing system primarily for mobile devices. The system should enable users to share their location with selected other users and it should be able to fulfill the security requirements. The most important ones are authenticity, privacy and the avoidance of using a trusted authority. The communication protocols of this system are elaborated. Following the development of the underlying secure communication protocols the implementation phase is coming. Mobile and PC clients are planned to be developed as well.
