The 'Concept and Objectives' clause defines the overarching purpose and intended outcomes of the agreement or project. It typically outlines the main goals, guiding principles, and the scope of activities to be undertaken by the parties involved. For example, it may specify the desired results, such as developing a new product or fostering a collaborative relationship. This clause serves to align expectations and provide a clear framework, ensuring all parties understand the fundamental aims and direction of their cooperation.
Concept and objectives. The SHIELD project aims at addressing Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) issues in the context of Embedded Systems (ESs) as “built in” rather than as “add-on” functionalities. SPD Certification aspects covered by SHIELD will be appointed by future R&D investigations To reach this goal the project aims at establishing an innovative approach in the SPD market, based on availability of a flexible architectural framework that will respond to different application needs. The main assumption which drives SHIELD activities is that intelligent functions embedded in components and devices will be the key factor in empowering next generation industrial processes and markets in Europe. As a consequence, the design of an innovative SPD-based framework where new functionalities and improved quality of existing solutions co-exist with the capability of delivering such architecture in a competitive cost- effective time frame, will impact on European competitiveness in a large range of domains as automotive, defense, health, industry and energy.

Concept and objectives. SISEI is a decentralised computerized system set-up as a network of harmonized web sites connected by electronic means, which facilitates standard access to data, information and products relating to the environment. The programme has a strong capacity building component and in countries where it has been implemented, through pilot projects, in cooperation with OSS, the following outputs and capacities have been generated. • enhanced capacity for data and information management (improved the management of existing data bases, data banks and other information sources); • greater utilisation and repackaging of internet-sourced information to support policy-oriented action at various levels; • improved development planning processes at national and district levels in the context of poverty alleviation; • enhanced capacities for integrating environmental data and information into development planning at various levels; • enhanced collaboration and co-ordination between the key national institutions as well as other stakeholders at various levels. The implementation of the SISEI programme will be carried out in a phased approach with the initial stage focusing on a selected number of countries. This stage will also involved sub-regional organizations with established formal institutional structures for environmental data and information generation and dissemination within their respective sub-regions. In view of the foregoing therefore, the collective efforts and network resources of ITU, UNITAR and OSS represent an appropriate framework for developing a unified collaborative approach in the implementation of SISEI in Africa. In this regard and in consideration of the complementarities of ITU, UNITAR and OSS, in the development of institutional capacities to facilitate environmental information access in Africa, it is imperative that the efforts and practical activities are undertaken in a coordinated and harmonized way that allows synergy and common attainment of the individual and common objectives of the three organizations. In particular, ITU and UNITAR will be responsible for the implementation of the activities outlined in this Cooperation Agreement. The implementation will be undertaken in a well-coordinated approach focusing, in a 1st stage, on 10 countries (Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia). The approach to be used in the implementation of this stage will comprise two major components: a) a collective ef...

Concept and objectives. ‌ [▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Keynote ECOOP 2006] Software systems provide important services and central parts of the infrastructure for modern economies and societies. The size and cost of these systems forbid them from being created “de novo” time and again. To justify the huge investments, such systems need to live for decades, if not centuries. Already today and more so in the future, this requires the development of software systems that can cope with changes in the environment as well as with modified and new requirements. As it is impossible to anticipate all changes, software systems must be adaptable. Adaptability includes two aspects: spatial variability and tem- poral evolvability. The first is, to a certain extent, successfully addressed in modern software architectures such as software product families. However, increasing product complexity (fea- tures, properties, resources) is starting to impose serious limitations. Evolvability over time is an even more difficult problem. Current approaches to reusability and maintenance are inadequate to cope with both the high dynamics and the longevity encountered in software for e-commerce, e-government, e-health, consumer electronics, or automotive and telecommu- nication applications. At the same time, more and more parts of our society rely on software solutions with a high degree of trustworthiness, encompassing the key properties of correctness, security, dependability, reliability, and efficiency [21]. Therefore, it is fair to say that the major chal- lenge facing software construction in the next decades is high adaptability combined with high trustworthiness. Existing development practices do not make it possible to produce highly adaptable and trustworthy software in a large-scale and cost-efficient manner. The crucial limitation is the missing rigor of models and property specifications: informal or semi-formal notations lack the means to describe precisely the behavioral aspects of software systems: concurrency, mod- ularity, integrity, security, resource consumption. Without a formal notation for the behavior of component-based systems it is impossible to achieve automation for consistency checking, enforcement of security, generation of trustworthy code, test case generation, specification mining, etc. In other words, it is impossible to achieve the degree of adaptability that is required of next-generation software systems. We propose to develop a methodological framework as well as a formal lang...

Concept and objectives. ‌ The challenge is to understand the principles according to which cognitive systems should be built if they are to handle situations unforeseen by their designers, other forms of novelty, and open-ended, challenging environments with uncertainty and change. Our aim is to meet this challenge by creating a theory — grounded and evaluated in robots — of how a cognitive system can model its own knowledge, use this to cope with uncertainty and novelty during task execution, extend its own abilities and knowledge, and extend its own understanding of those abilities.

Concept and objectives. It is a truism that optical-infrared astronomy is in a “golden age”. Public interest, manifested through such criteria as downloads of HST images and media interest, is higher than for almost any other subject. This follows naturally from scientific progress – there are new stories, new results, new Prizes to celebrate – and the intrinsic interest of the questions addressed by astronomy, which range from the origin of the Universe, through the nature of matter and existence, to exo-planets and life elsewhere. This story of scientific success has however not happened by chance – considerable planning and organisation, and continuing technical research and development, is required to develop the highly-skilled scientists and engineers trained to operate and exploit the state of the art facilities which deliver the scientific advances.

  • BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The partnership proposed by the Cooperator was selected due to merit review evaluations from the 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity P17AS00037. The Cooperator demonstrated expertise in disciplines and subject areas of relevance to cooperative research and training. The Cooperator met the program interests of NPS with expertise, facilities, experience, diversity of programs, and history of collaborative research projects. The Cooperator helps the NPS-CESU to meet its objectives to:  Provide research, technical assistance and education to NPS for land management, and research;  Develop a program of research, technical assistance and education that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and  Place special emphasis on the working collaboration among NPS, universities, and their related partner institutions. The CESU network seeks to provide scientifically-based information on the nature and status of selected biological, physical, and cultural resources occurring within the parks in a form that increases its utility for making management decisions, conducting scientific research, educating the public, developing effective monitoring programs, and developing management strategies for resource protection. Studying the resources present in NPS parks benefits the Cooperator’s goal of advancing knowledge through scientific discovery, integration, application, and teaching, which lead toward a holistic understanding of our environmental and natural resources. The Cooperator is a public research university, sharing research, educational, and technological strengths with other institutions. Through inter-institutional collaboration, combined with the unique contributions of each constituent institution, the Cooperator strives to contribute substantially to the cultural, economic, environmental, scientific, social and technological advancement of the nation. The NPS expects there to be substantial involvement between itself and the Cooperator in carrying out the activities contemplated in this Agreement. The primary purpose of this study is not the acquisition of property or services for the direct benefit or use by the Federal Government, but rather to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized the Legislative Authorities in ARTICLE II. This agreement fulfills the Public Purpose of support and economic stimulation for the following reasons:  Projects will engage recipients, partners, communities, and/or visitors in shared environmental stewardship.  Projects will promote greater public and private participation in historic preservation programs and activities. The project builds resource stewardship ethics in its participants.  The information, products and/or services identified or developed by projects will be shared through a variety of strategies to increase public awareness, knowledge and support for historic preservation and stewardship of the nation’s cultural and historical heritage.  Projects will support the Government’s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The NPS receives the indirect benefit of completing conservation projects.  Projects will motivate youth participants to become involved in the natural, cultural and /or historical resource protection of their communities and beyond.  Students gain “real world” or hands-on experience outside of the classroom of natural, cultural and/or historical resource projects.  The scientific community and/or researchers external to NPS gains by new knowledge provided through research and related results dissemination of natural, cultural and/or historical resource information.  Projects assist in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of the public’s understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational and other aspects of areas such as ecological conservation areas, and state and local parks.
