Task 3. Strategy for communication between biobanks, including a common nomenclature, compatible software techniques and appropriate information transmission polices Task 3 will be to explore a complete strategy for communication between biobank including a common nomenclature, compatible software techniques and appropriate information transmission policies. This all relates to information on specimens, laboratory results, phenotypes, exposures and genealogical data. Primary related deliverables: D5.2, D5.3, D5.5 Most work within WP5 has been concerned with Task 3 since this is the most extensive task. It is also dependent on the work performed in Tasks 1 and 2; primarily use cases 1 and 2 in Section 1.1.2. Major activities for Task 3 have been the creation of a shared data model for European biobanks. Two proposals for the design and architecture of an information management system for European biobanks have been developed. However, since the proposals focus on different layers of software technology – web services vs. the Set Definition Language (SDL) [13], they can also be considered to be complementary. In fact, it was suggested that the data schema (presented in D5.3) used for Prototype B in Section 1.3.3 could be viewed as an instance of the generalized metadata model discussed in Section 1.3.1. Part of Task 3 is also the work related to different service scenarios in Section 1.3.4 from D5.2, and the network model and implementation proposal from D5.5 presented in Section

Task 3. Provide funding to access the non-attorney professionals essential to a multi-disciplinary approach to representation in state intervention matters. The retained non-attorney professionals will be paid in accordance with their experience and expertise, though fees generally are as follows: experts at a rate of $100-$500/hour; investigators at a rate of $75/hour; psycho- social/mental health evaluations at a rate of $100-$500/hour; social workers, case managers, and parent advocates at a rate of $50-$150 per hour; interpreters at a rate of $75-$200 per hour.
Task 3. Based on the analysis conducted in Task 2, to specify in what circumstances manholes should be protected from hydrogen sulfide, and recommend any other changes in manhole design criteria that will reduce the potential for future corrosion. Using the model developed in Task 2, we will run a Monte Carlo simulation to predict corrosion rates for the various manhole categories, based on measured means and standard deviations for the other predictor variables (dissolved oxygen, sulfide, velocity, etc.). The categories with corrosion rates typically greater than a certain threshold will be recommended for protection. We will also perform a cost-benefit calculation using the cost of various corrosion protection options and the benefit of avoiding manhole replacement.

Task 3. 3: HiPEAC Journal The HiPEAC Journal was first published in 2006. Its fourth volume is currently being prepared. The HiPEAC journal differentiates itself from other publications in that it has a three-month reviewing cycle. Every accepted paper is also immediately published on the HiPEAC website. The third volume of the journal received 22 submission, of which 14 were accepted for publication. Accepted papers Volume 3 accepted the following papers: Dynamic Cache Partitioning Based on the MLP of Cache Misses Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx X Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx (UPC/BSC) Cache Sensitive Code Arrangement for Virtual Machine Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx-Xxxxx Chen ( National Taiwan University) Data Layout for Cache Performance on a Multithreaded Architecture Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx X.

Task 3. 4: HiPEAC Roadmap The first HiPEAC roadmap was published in 2007. The steering committee has taken the opportunity of HiPEAC2‟s launch to start the discussion and brainstorming on creating a new up-to-date roadmap. The first steps to create the new roadmap, which is currently approaching its first draft, were taken at the cluster level. Every cluster was asked to present their vision on the future of the their research domain. Because we consider industry input for the roadmap vital to the relevance of the document, a brainstorming session was organised at the Summer School. This event gathered the input of 28 company people, giving the view of 17 companies. This large amount of data was then further processed by a roadmap committee, including industry. The result of this convergence was presented at the pre-review in Paphos, and to the community at the general assembly meeting. The feedback was used to create a second draft which will be presented at the review meeting of the first year of HiPEAC.
Task 3. 10: Promoting HiPEAC Start-Ups This task aims to stimulate members to create new start-ups by organising one yearly event. Additionally, we embrace start-up companies by quasi-automatically inviting them as member companies, so they get access to all the resources of the network. By promoting these companies, we hope to contribute to their success. This is the list of HiPEAC Start-Ups: Acumem xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxx/ Erik Hagersten Caps Enterprise xxxx://xxx.xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/ François Bodin Nanochronous xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx/ Manolis Katevenis Nema Labs xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/ Per Stenström QuviQ xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/ John Hughes Splitted desktop xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx.xxx/xx/ Olivier Temam INOCS xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx Federico Angiolini Kalray xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xx Benoît Dupont de Dinechin In order to promote the start-ups, Peter Magnusson, founder of Virtutech was asked to give a keynote speech on start-ups at the ACACES Summer School. His speech was titled “What your mother should have taught you on entrepreneurship”. A presentation of the HiPEAC start-ups promotion activity was published in the HiPEAC Info 14, April 2008. Deeper presentations of each start-up have appeared in the next HiPEAC Infos, two start-up‟s at a time. We have currently presented Acumem, CAPS-Enterprise, Nanochronous, Nema Labs and Quviq in HiPEAC Info 15, 16 and 17. Since October, the coordinator of this task, Marco Cornero, left the consortium. The coordination of this task has, since the second period of HiPEAC, been taken over by the new partner, ST Grenoble, and its responsible scientist, Christian Bertin.
