ICT Project to Enhance Human-System Interactivity

As technical devices grow ever more sophisticated and their complexity increases, the EASY Interactions project is trying to enhance interaction between the human user and the technical system. Traditional control devices such as mouse, keyboard, joystick or screen have been outgrown by today's information and communication technology (ICT) gadgets, say project stakeholders, claiming that such difficulties inhibit many application opportunities.

The Priorities of the Slovenian Presidency in Research

The overarching goal of the Presidency in the field of R&D is the further development of the European Research (ERA). Being one of the central pillars to achieve the Lisbon objectives, the full realization of ERA will significantly contribute to making Europe the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world.

First Projects Launched Under FP7 Now Profiled on CORDIS

One year into the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and action is well underway, with the third call for proposals currently active.

Digital Technology Revolutionises NHS Patient Care in England

State of the art digital technology that has revolutionised the way the NHS captures, records and uses patient x-ray and scans is now being used in every hospital trust in England, the Department of Health said today. Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) are replacing the old way of capturing x-rays and scans on film and paper enabling clinical images to be stored electronically and viewed on screen.

eHealth ERA Project Concluded Successfully

Funded by the European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, eHealth ERA investigated and analysed eHealth priorities and deployment activities in European countries. The project developed a database of key national eHealth policy documents, a database of key national contact points for eHealth research and technology development, and it produced several extended reports about current eHealth issues.

Supercomputing Grids Close Ranks to Meet Medical Challenge

Two supercomputing networks have successfully joined forces in a distributed simulation of the effectiveness of drugs on mutant strains of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Although the Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Application (DEISA) and the GridAustralia-Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) infrastructures use incompatible underlying platforms (UNICORE 5 and Globus Tool Kit, respectively), the researchers were able to spread the computing tasks over the two high performance computing (HPC) grids.
