Today world is already taking advantage of the available large amounts of data and adopting Artificial Intelligence solutions, enabled by Machine Learning and Data Analytics, in most of the fields. GECAD will combine the Data-driven approach, using approaches as Clustering, Deep Learning, and Reinforced Learning, with Cognitive and Knowledge-based approaches, able to make intelligent systems wiser by acquiring, using and enlarging human knowledge which is usable even in never previously occurred or anticipated situations and contexts. In this way, GECAD will shape the advance and application of Knowledge. Enabling easier and more effective interaction and collaboration between Humans and Intelligent Systems, GECAD will ensure a user-centric approach, providing a more intelligent and more adaptive world to people. GECAD proven expertise and concrete achievements in the production of new models and intelligent systems will ensure its regular, distinguished participation in important international and national consortia, projects, and events, and its coordination of several international and intercontinental projects for 2018-2022. GECAD will continue to play a very relevant role in the Advanced Training of PhD students, post-docs and senior researchers for which Marie Curie Actions are being of upmost importance. GECAD will provide engineering, computing, and multidisciplinary research projects and activities opportunities to young, undergraduate, bachelor, master, and vocational education students. For the period 2018-2022 GECAD will involve more than 100 under graduate and graduate students and senior researchers stays, and will collaborate with more than 150 companies and other academic and research institutions in national, European, and intercontinental projects. GECAD will provide a dynamic, multi-cultural environment for the effective and secure advancement of intelligent systems of the future. . 10.3 Summary in English for evaluation GECAD scientific agenda is focused on contributing, at the world level, to the excellence and to the effective and quick advancement of the state of the art of Intelligent Systems that can deal with complex real world problems. During 2018-2022, GECAD expertise, namely in Artificial Intelligence, Ambient Intelligence, Affective Computing, Decision Support, Smart Grids, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, Demand Response, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Internet-of-Things, will be used to take significant steps in intelligent systems, namely in their performance, in their adaption to the reality and to particular contexts, and in their adaptation to the natural and harmonious co-habitation and collaboration with people. Those advances will be done with strong scientific and technologic basis targeting complex application problems in fields like Energy, Industry, Cities, and Tourism. GECAD will contribute with new concepts, models, and implementations to changes that will strongly shape the advance and application of Knowledge. In a world that is already adopting Artificial Intelligence solutions, based on large amounts of data, the evolution of areas like Machine Learning and Data Analytics is natural. Current evident advantages of those Data-driven approaches are, however, only a small part of the potential of Artificial Intelligence for providing people with a more intelligent and friendly world. During 2018-2022, GECAD will deeply address the combination of Data-driven with Cognitive and Knowledge-based approaches in order to achieve increased Intelligence in complex engineering and computing systems from different fields e.g. Energy, Environment, Cities, Industry, Tourism with insights from current advances in areas like Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Ambient Assisted Living. Cognitive and Knowledge-based approaches ensure that the systems are not only able to deal with problems and situations for which knowledge can be extracted from existing data but additionally ensure that the existing Human Knowledge can be extensively used to deal with unexpected, unknown situations, which never happened before, but for which the human intelligence can anticipate solutions. GECAD research will also deal with the evolution of the application areas, conceiving and developing new models and methods to represent and manage the available components and systems, in technical and business terms. Regarding the Power and Energy area, storage, electric vehicles, demand response, aggregators, and local markets will be in the center of the research activities. Regarding Ambient Intelligence the focus will be on cognitive computing to promote behavior prediction so as to provide users in different applications areas e.g. Tourism, Health, Industry with a better and more adaptive assistance and to enable soft automation of processes, addressing the ethical, legal and social implications. Excellence in the advance and application of Knowledge is envisaged by GECAD, with focus on the core excellence and an outstanding balance quantity-quality. Top-level international projects with a coherent global approach and publishing of models and results in top-level scientific journals are objectives for 2018-2022. GECAD expertise and contributions have positioned it as a desired partner and will ensure GECAD participation in important international consortia, projects, and events.

The CISTER Research Unit focuses its activity in the analysis, design and implementation of real-time and embedded computing systems. Real-time systems are those systems in which correctness depends both on the logical result of the computations and on the time at which the results are produced. Unlike other information and communication systems, in real-time computing correctness and performance are tightly interrelated. Decades ago, real-time systems were an important but narrow niche of computing, consisting mainly of military, air traffic control and embedded systems for manufacturing and process control. This association to specific applications accounted for the low interested in the scientific community. The emergence of large scale distributed systems and the pervasiveness of computing devices in our daily lives have broadened real-time concerns into a mainstream enterprise, with clients in a wide variety of industries and academic disciplines. Real-time systems are nowadays everywhere, built into vehicles, roads, bridges and tunnels, medical instruments and surgical robots, homes, offices and factories, aeroplanes and airports, electronic games and PDAs, mobile phones and communication and even into virtual reality glasses, and our clothes. They can be interconnected in large heterogeneous networks: vehicles connect to the fixed road infrastructure, smart cards connect to the banking system, sensor nodes connected to power-grids or energy-efficient districts, etc. It is not far-fetched to state that such systems are the nervous system of modern society, seamlessly interacting with the physical environment, and it is no coincidence that they appear always when a smart environment is put forward. Due to their ubiquity and relevance in all relevant market sectors www.artemis-ju.eu, real-time embedded computing has been established as a priority for commercial strategy and academic research for the foreseeable future, and is one of the strategic research and innovation areas in Europe, with impact in many influent sectors such as industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, communication systems and medical systems. Many of these are sectors where Europe is a world-wide reference, contrarily to general-purpose computing systems, traditionally dominated by non-European organizations cordis.europa.eu/ist/embedded/. And this is one of the areas witnessing high growth in Information and Communication Technologies ICT, a market valued 121 billion USD in 2011 and expected to grow to 194 billion USD by 2018 http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/embedded-system.html. This is the context and vision in which CISTER is working. The strategy adopted by the Unit is to develop research in this area, benchmarked against the best international groups. These include not only the most prestigious research groups in Europe as well as a large number of research groups in the U.S. To achieve this, four key strategic options have been driving the research agenda of the Unit: i sustained growing and research focus; ii selective and demanding publication efforts; iii selective, demanding and consistent participation of key Unit’s researchers in scientific service; iv a strong participation in international reputed academic/industrial research partnerships with focus both on fundamental and applied research. More recently, a new dimension has been included to tackle the greater efforts into higher technology readiness levels, thus leading to v increased technology transfer of research results. For that, the unit has also procured for a strategic alliance with the larger INESC-TEC Associated Laboratory to collaborate with other units in complementary topics, and/or in different stages of the knowledge-to-value chain. The goal of the unit is to continue and reinforce its role as one of the leaders of world research in real-time and embedded computing systems. The general objectives need to be aligned with the growing strategic importance of embedded systems in Europe, and the role that needs to be played in the international research landscape of the area. For that, the unit will foster its plan on developing both cutting-edge research including PhD and MSc research works and also drawing the cutting-edge results obtained into applied research driven in the framework of international academic/industrial partnerships. Future research activities of the unit will build upon the relevant experience gained and key competences, and will strategically explore existent and emerging topics of research. Having a strong academic background and scientific track record, the unit will maintain the research focus and selective and demanding scientific efforts. The foreseen activities will be also supported by the outcomes of the several research projects which the unit has ongoing, starting or proposed, considering both fundamental research projects, and industry/academia partnerships. In order to achieve this, there are four key objectives that the unit will pursue in this timeframe: OBJECTIVE 1 – Deliver world-class research results in key topics that are emerging in the domains of embedded real-time computing systems OBJECTIVE 2 - Apply the research results in application domains which can enable societal changes, as it is becoming more and more the focus of the European R&D landscape; OBJECTIVE 3 - Sustain an advanced graduation program in the area of real-time and embedded systems; and OBJECTIVE 4 – Transfer and exploit the results of CISTER research. O Centro de Investigação em Sistemas Computacionais Embebidos e de Tempo Real CISTER foca a sua actividade no projecto e implementação de sistemas de computação de tempo real e embebidos. Sistemas de tempo real são aqueles nos quais a correcção de funcionamento depende não só do resultado lógico da computação mas também do instante de tempo em que esse resultado é produzido. Hoje em dia os sistemas computacionais embebidos correspondem a mais de 95% de todas as unidades de computação em funcionamento no mundo e são uma infra-estrutura crucial em aplicações emergentes como as cidades inteligentes, os sistemas de transporte aviões, combóios, carros, sistemas de suporte de vida, instrumentação aplicada à saúde, etc. O CISTER desenvolve ciência e tecnologia nestas áreas desde há mais de 15 anos, sendo actualmente uma referência mundial e um dos maiores centros de investigação a nível mundial na área dos Sistemas Computacionais de Tempo Real e Embebidos. Neste programa estratégico o CISTER propõe-se a capitalizar a sua capacidade científica e tecnológica em prol do avanço da ciência nesta área onde actualmente o CISTER já lidera em sectores de ponta com impacto em tecnologias futuras; em prol do incremento das interacções com a indústria nacional e internacional no âmbito de projetos ‘industry-driven’ em aplicações emergentes objetivo 2; na utilização destes avanços e das sinergias com a indústria para a qualificação de alunos de pós-graduação a nível internacional de doutoramento principalmente e mestrados objetivo 3 e na transferência de conhecimento para a indústria e criação de valor objetivo 4.
