EU’s 5 rammeprogram for FoUEU’s 5 rammeprogram for FoU

Siden 1984 har EU-kommisjonen gjennomført europeiske forsknings- og utviklingsaktiviteter i form av en rekke flerårige rammeprogram. Det nåværende 4. rammeprogram avsluttes i 1998.

På initiativ av Edith Cresson (kommisjonæren med ansvar for forskning og utdanning), vedtok EU-kommisjonen den 9. april 1997 ett forslag til det 5. rammeprogram. Når rammeprogrammet endelig vedtas av EUs Ministerråd og Parlament, defineres retningslinjene for EUs 5. rammeprogram for forskning og teknologisk utvikling for neste fireårs-periode. Våren 1998 la EU-kommisjonen fram forslag til faglig innhold i særprogrammene, som forventes vedtatt høsten 1998 av Ministerråd og Parlament.

NB! 5. rammeprogram ble vedtatt i Ministerrådet 22. desember 1998

III.3.1 Open platforms and tools III.3.1 Open platforms and tools for personalised learningfor personalised learning

Objective: To enable an education and training centre, company or service provider, to implement and maintain integrated learning services based especially on reusable learning objects. Emphasis is placed on personalised learning in collaborative environments that involve high-quality pedagogic approaches. The RTD should address the development of re-usable components and a suite of modular building blocks and tools on the basis of an underlying open infrastructure supporting a wide range of flexible learning activities (learning by doing, collaborative and group learning). It should also address the development of environments that facilitate interaction, including social interaction, between learners and between teachers. This should encompass all functionality needed to develop, manage and deliver courses and benefits should be sought in terms of pedagogy, cost-effectiveness, service quality and scalability. The work is expected to be validated in more than one learning setting and specific discipline. It should contribute to on-going standardisation activities in open learning architecture and learning objects re-usability

III.2.1 Content Management and III.2.1 Content Management and personalisationpersonalisation

Objective: To validate and demonstrate access, delivery and personalisation of heterogeneous assets in large distributed, and multi-owner collections in key application areas (knowledge, business and lifestyle publishing and geographic information). This includes the development and integration of automated content packaging and presentation systems, tailoring, Web-based and agent-based services, unified interfaces and search facilities across different information resources, new business models and dynamic transaction systems between collaborating content owners. The work is expected to contribute to open standards for interoperability and access management guidelines, including for consumer protection andprivacy.

III.3.2 The Flexible UniversityIII.3.2 The Flexible University

Objective: To integrate and demonstrate emerging technologies for the flexible university of the future through large-scale experiments in areas promoting European integration. This should cover co-operation between institutions in providing advanced facilities to allow learners to follow a personalised mix of courses, virtual learner mobility, and interaction between tutors and learners in new ways. The work should promote higher-quality re-useable learning material; greater choice for learners through demand-driven course management; more consistent quality-management and more cost-effective on-line access to university and higher education facilities. To facilitate EU-wide implementation, the research should also address university teaching re-engineering, social and pedagogic requirements and cost-benefits. The learning context (subject domain, target populations), economic and organisational aspects of learning should be addressed in a focussed way. The work should help to set technical and operational standards and to stimulate collaboration with other sectors (e.g. academic-industry links, public-private partnerships).

II.2.2 Team WorkII.2.2 Team Work

Objective: To develop and demonstrate reference models, architectures and technologies that enable teams to work together across different, possibly mobile, locations and different time zones. These systems and services should allow sharing and managing information both in real-time and asynchronously, supported by appropriate models, simulations and analytical tools. The work is to involve the linking and integration of heterogeneous workplaces, and to support both intra-company as well as inter-organisational working.

IV.3.3 Component based IV.3.3 Component based software engineeringsoftware engineering

Objective: To develop and validate the innovative processes, methods and tools necessary to design, implement and manage software-intensive systems using a component-based approach. The focus is on re-use, the incorporation of new technology COTS components and evolutionary re-configuration. The work should result in the definition of processes, methods and their supporting technologies that enable the smooth and auditable integration of components from multiple independent sources into complex systems and services, possibly taking advantage of the “system families” concepts. This work is to be complemented by technology-transfer and best-practice initiatives to stimulate both real-life practice improvement and the take-up of the associated technologies.
