project name is awful
by Stephen Farrell 13 Oct '21

13 Oct '21

Hiya, Harsh asked me to review a bunch of text in the next day or so, and I'll do that. My first, and very strong, reaction was to the proposed project name: "EURO-CyberPERFECTiON" is just awful. It's maybe 15 years since I evaluated EU proposals but if I saw that title, my immediate reaction would be that there's bullshit afoot. Sorry to be so blunt, but I worry that all your significant effort could be damaged by that. I'd also worry that any good project results would be tainted by such a name. Reasons: 1) "EURO-*" isn't right: I don't believe the goal is at all to develop some solely-European technology. nor would such make sense. (It might for legal matters, but not for tech.) It's also redundant as the EU are the funders and they know where they're based already;-) 2) cyber - despite the EU using the term in the call, use of that term IMO exposes the user to a valid charge of using a well-known-to-be-terribly badly defined term. 3) perfection - what? really? that's just setting the project up for a pile of prat-falls. All in all that's the worst proposal for a project name I've encountered and I've been doing EU-funded stuff since ESPRIT back in the late 1980's. (Again, sorry to be blunt.) I don't really mind what the project might be called but frankly I'd be embarrassed to be associated with something with that title. My suggestion is that two or three of the most involved people change that to something deliberately bland but without calling for an all-in discussion which'd waste time. (I'm happy to be involved in that discussion since I'm bringing this up late, but I'm also fine if it just happens with no further input from me.) Cheers, and apologies a 3rd time for bluntness, S.

Federated Computation
by Soheil Human 13 Oct '21

13 Oct '21

Dear Victor, Dear all, IMHO, we still miss a good/in-depth discussion/understanding of federated computation throughout the proposal. Providing a short overview of the field and the challenges that we are addressing is missing. Since this is an essential aspect of the call text, we need to consider and include it.

3.2 Capacity of participants and consortium as a whole [e.g. 3 pages]
by Soheil Human 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

Dear all, Regarding 3.2.: we need input from ALL partners: We decided to create a joint narrative regarding the consortium based on disciplines/fields. This includes a table, a few sentences about the interdisciplinary nature of the project and our consortium (we can add this at the very end), and then a set of short paragraphs discussing our expertise in different fields. As promised, I identified the fields that are involved in the project and included a list in subsection 3.2. Please write concise sentences about your organisations/institutes below the provided titles. Please try to contribute towards a joint narrative. If someone else has written a sentence that can also describe your institute, please add your name to that sentence. Please try to cover different aspects of the project and frame yourself as an expert in different dimensions. Providing evidence and pointers (without discussing much) can be helpful, e.g. referring to specific projects or achievements. Please try to be to the point and honest, but promote yourself. :) Thanks a lot, Cheers, Soheil -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna

Excellence Page 6

Soheil, I promised to review this section with the challenges. I had the idea to not talk about the lack of things as the absence of something is always hard to prove. This is why I did not try to "save" your paragraph, but rather rewrite it. I tried to keep as much of the content as possible as long as it remained compatible. With the rewrite, I explained the evolution of the projects so far, how they relate, and which challenges we are attacking this time. In turn, I did transform your "lacking things" into "challenges" and I'm satisfied with the result as it smoothly re-joins your later writing about what the project will provide. So please review and keep what you want. --Rigo
