The Call 2012 of the ARTEMIS-JU, which is actually the fifth call, is the biggest call so far. Quite a lot of Member States took an interest in the new ARTEMIS innovation May 2012 NO.12 ~ ARTEMIS Industry Association: 5 years Pilot Projects (AIPP’s) for which extra funding is available. We expect good proposals for these types of project. This time we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the ARTEMIS Industry Association that was founded in January 2007, to continue the ARTEMIS European Technology Platform and to become the private partner in the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking. You find quotes from Yrjo Neuvo who was ARTEMIS-IA president in 2007 and from Klaus Grimm, the current president. It was an idea of the editorial board of this Magazine to interview me, having served as Secretary General of ARTEMIS-IA for almost 5 years.

This Magazine is a very interesting read. Emile Aarts, former Vice-President of ARTEMIS Industry page 8 page 13 Association, is now stepping down as ARTEMIS-IA Steering Board member because he is leaving Philips; he gives his view on “A world that is always on”. Helen Finch explains how important the network of ARTEMIS is for her company, Infineon. Then EICOSE, our first Centre of Innovation Excellence, gives insight into its way of working. Laila Gide gives some background on the new AIPP’s and Roberto Zafalon also highlights these AIPP’s, making a bridge to the KET report of the manufacturing technology companies in Europe. Jerker Delsing talks about his experience of building an AIPP proposal in his field of interest. Further in this Magazine: Information about the Call 2012, Project-information on two projects (CHESS and PRESTO) and Bola Rotibi talking about sustainable interoperability. A report is given of the ARTEMIS Technology Conference in March this year. We welcome Poland as the latest ARTEMIS Member State; it provides funding for the first time in Call 2012. Irene Lopez de Vallejo and Pauli Kuosmanen visited the Future Internet Assembly in Poznan in the autumn of last year to raise the interest for ARTEMIS in Poland. Finally the Baton Blues column is written by Werner Damm. I wish you an enjoyable read.

A welcome surprise was that the ARTEMIS Industry Association had a special treat for the ARTEMIS community on the occasion of its 5th anniversary. The treat consisted of a surprise act as an hors d’oeuvre at the ARTEMIS Grand dinner. Happy Birthday ARTEMIS Industry Association. pAg 4 | ARTEMIS Magazine ~ MAY 2012, No. 12 By Jan Lohstroh Secretary General ARTEMIS Industry Association ‘Retirement’ was not something that appealed to Jan Lohstroh when his contract expired after 36 years with a Dutch multinational. Free to do something else, he embraced the opportunity to join the ARTEMIS Industry Association when invited to apply for the position of its Secretary General. Five years on, we talk to Jan, a stable figure amid changes, developments and trends, about the beginnings, lessons learned, the successes and the future. “I saw the position within ARTEMIS Industry Association (ARTEMIS- IA) as one that suited my competencies and experience. I had been we had envisaged for the ARTEMIS-JU was to be a Community Body , one of the founding fathers of ITEA and was already well versed in and therefore basically subject to same rules and regulations as the the various aspects involved in the running of such programmes. much larger Commission services.

Yrjö is one of the pioneers who started the European Technology Platform for Embedded Systems back in 2004. The Platform is the precursor of the ARTEMIS Industry Association. In July 2004 the objectives of the ARTEMIS European Technology Platform were set up in the ‘Building ARTEMIS’ document signed by the CEOs of a number of major European companies. It is interesting to note that the early high-level objectives are still extremely pertinent today. Setting up the first generation Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) was a complex and time-consuming exercise. Creating a system that would simultaneously commit the companies and public authorities to reach the ambitious joint top-level objectives is not so easy. Over the years the importance of Embedded Systems has been increasing and there is no doubt that this trend will How convincing do you think the results achieved by the ARTEMIS JU are? continue.
