INESC MAT - Media Arts and Technology
Description of the Research Project
1
Project Proposal
1.1 Summary of the Research Programme
This research program aims at achieving innovation in various scientific and
technological fields within the domain of Media Arts and Technology. Expected
outcomes will range from knowledge production (high-impact scientific publications
and publications in the general media) to innovative prototypes and modular
technologies of use to industry as well as end-users.
Media Arts and Technology (MAT) research fuses emergent media, computer
science, engineering, and electronic music and digital art research, practice,
production, and theory. This relatively new field of inquiry focuses on cultural content
(music, video and film, TV, radio, performing arts, etc.) and its integration with the
most recent Information and Communication Technologies, including the field of
Human Computer Interaction. The research areas comprise a vast number of
aspects ranging from multimedia processing and analysis, new media formats,
content creation, searching, integration, adaptation, diffusion and presentation. The
application domains of MAT range from improvements in conventional areas such as
computer graphics, sound and music computing and artificial intelligence through
enablers of new media industries up to new development of health therapies,
education, fashion, and tourism, for example.
INESC Porto has been supporting MAT transdisciplinary research for some years
now developing television production technologies, in collaboration with broadcasters
such as BBC and RTP as well as industry (Snell and Wilcox, MOG Solutions). These
activities expanded to other areas in distribution in the digital domain (DRM, Content
adaptation, media management and archives).
More recently, within the collaborative framework with American universities (CMU
and UT Austin) new activities emerged in the cross-section of technology with arts
(sound, image and performing arts) as well as communication sciences. These
activities are essential to support academic curricula and the development of new
entrepreneurial projects at INESC Porto and UP in the context of the Creative
Industries incubator PINC, launched by UPTEC, as these strongly contribute to new
niches of content production – IPTV, Transmedia, Multiplatform, design for media,
sound for media, online media, games and new forms of interactive storytelling made
possible by the digital technologies. Moreover, the m4m – Music for Media initiative
supported by ON2, will start in October at UP and will create an international network
of excellence in the area of music and new media, bringing together some of the best
educational institutions in the world for developing a joint strategy regarding
academic programs and research in the field.
The last decade has seen a profusion of easy-to-use technologies that enable
general users to seamlessly create audiovisual content of very high quality (e.g.
Apple’s GarageBand, iMovie, Photoshop, Final Cut). Likewise, advances in
technology are facilitating the access to content, promoting its ubiquitous-ness in a
variety of application areas with different needs. The goal of the proposed project is
to develop smart, simple-to-operate, interactive technologies, thus contributing to
improve the state-of-the-art in generalized access to high-level audiovisual content
creation and consumption. The project will look beyond quality and easiness of use,
incorporating intelligent techniques that enable applications and content to
seamlessly adapt to restrictions or characteristics of users and environments. In
developing this type of technology, we aim at providing better tools for use, among
others, in professional artistic applications, education, and assisted living.
To attain these goals, this project proposes to explore and combine different
approaches and conduct and fuse research within different scientific fields, based on
the expertise of its research team and the most recent advances in the related stateof-the-art.
We envision that generative computational technologies will soon be able to produce
high–quality, high-level content (such as music or computer animation), and this is a
consequent next step in the development of these accessible technologies.
Current developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence, and their
applications to music creation, video and data analysis, and computer graphics
animation are redefining what is understood by computational intelligence and
creativity. The field of information retrieval has greatly improved in the past decade,
and large amounts of information can nowadays be accessed swiftly and selectively
by computational means. Semantic technologies are evolving at a fast pace, enabling to
transparently extract meaning from data and build additional knowledge. Adding
semantics to content and applications enable to obtain transparent, pervasive and
self-adaptive knowledge that can be used in an automatic way to shape content and
applications. Consequently, systems that possess a memory, reasoning capability,
that can be accessed fast and reshaped/modified through learning are in the verge of
being created. These systems will be “creative,” in the sense they will be able to
produce new information from existing one in a critical and culturally-informed
fashion, and will be able to take into account the users’ preferences and taste.
Moreover, they will be capable of discriminating the quality and meaning of the input
data and make decisions based on that discrimination thus adopting the appropriate
behavior. However, the best avenue to extract and quantify user’s preference and
how to include it in the computer-based algorithms is far from being understood. The
two leading alternatives are based on user modeling by means of Bayesian principles
or alternatively using reinforcement learning paradigms from control theory. Another
issue is the ability to create contents integrating multiple media, seamlessly
converting between multiple formats, adapting to multiple platforms and
understanding, integrating and sharing user experiences. New trends include the
increasing access to on-line content through mobile devices, the process of sharing
tagging and classifying personal content, as well as the integration of different
personalised services.
When successful, this will have a remarkable impact in audiovisual content creation
as they will ease and improve the workflow of professionals in these areas, as well as
enable non-professional users to produce better quality content. The facilitated
interaction between users and these generative technologies will open up disruptive
applications for education – e.g., such as in systems that are able to train musicians
– and entertainment – e.g., such as in systems that enable non-professional
musicians to make music with other professional or non professional musicians, or
systems that guide professionals or nonprofessionals finding content and repurposing it.
This project will be a collaboration between two research units at INESC Porto (UTM
and USIG), and FEUP, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto and Porto Catholic
University.
1.2 Relevance of the Research Programme
1.2.1 International Trends
In the last few decades, advances in computer-based technologies have irrevocably
changed the way people work and live across the globe. Although these changes
have been fueled by fundamental technical advancements at the infrastructure level,
the way people interact with these technologies; the way one can promote access to
massive amounts of information in the digital domain; and the way all this information
gets delivered to the user seamlessly, has become a central issue. The solution to
these problems demands a multidisciplinary approach.
With the impact of technology in our cultural milieu (music, video and film, TV, radio,
performing arts, etc.) research in Media, Art and Technology is playing an
increasingly important role understating how new forms of multimedia content shape
our society and can be used to produce innovation in many application domains. The
research in the interactive digital media addresses multimedia processing and
analysis, new media formats, content creation, searching, integration, adaptation,
delivery and presentation of new media. They also tackle other emergent areas like
robotic technologies, end-to-end immersion that could play an important role in
developing markets for artificial forms of entertainment, caregiving and human
assistance. By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies, this
type of research aims on the one hand at understanding, modeling, and producing
digital media using computational approaches; and on the other hand at
understanding how artificial agents and robots can effectively interact with humans in
real-life environments.
Research and educational programs in Media, Art and Technology have been
flourishing around the world. A listing compiled in 2010 containing some of the most
relevant
programs
worldwide
can
be
consulted
at
https://wiki.brown.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13017. Some of
these programs appear under other denominations, such as Art and Technology or
Art and Science. In essence, these programs combine computer science (CS),
electrical and computer engineering (ECE), and visual and/or sonic arts. They
generally combine educational and research components, often co-existing at the
same institution (e.g. MIT, CMU).
The goals of these programs are manifold: to tackle the increasing complexity in
creating and producing technological artifacts such as operating systems with visual
interfaces for several platforms, games, websites, etc.; to devise new strategies for
understanding massive amounts of data through visualization/sonification; to improve
and promote the interaction between humans and computers, which are increasingly
present in our lives.
The increasing number of projects INESC Porto has had in MAT-related areas in the
past five years is converging with the international trend in this field of inquiry. The
proposed research line and project address topics requiring a multidisciplinary effort,
using teams that will comprise artists, scientists and technologists, in order to
address complex problems in which the boundaries between art, science and
technology are blurred.
Moreover, these actions are seen as a crucial step for consolidating the Media, Arts
and Technology research investment that has been done in Porto and the Northern
region in the past five years, mostly promoted by INESC Porto but also in
collaboration with other important players in this field at the educational level such as
the co-beneficiaries of this project – University of Porto, Polytechnic Institute of Porto,
and the Catholic University of Porto.
1.2.2 Scientific Advances and Strengthening of Competencies
This project will be a collaboration between two research units at INESC Porto (UTM
and USIG), and FEUP, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto and Porto Catholic
University. By teaming up different units and researchers that have produced
important individual contributions in MAT we aim at strengthening the interdisciplinary and inter-unit research efforts towards attaining higher goals of increased
complexity. A project such as the one being proposed requires very high expertise
from different fields that can only be successfully accomplished through a multidisciplinary effort involving researchers from different groups. This latter aspect is
also considered strategically important by INESC Porto’s leadership, as the
multidisciplinary effort is key to solving the increasing complexity posed by scientific
research.
We foresee this multidisciplinary effort will improve our competences to address the
following research topics:
1. Design better audiovisual environments: We are (almost) constantly
surrounded by audiovisual information – both natural and artificial. There is no
doubt that improvements in the audio and visual behaviors of the artificial
audiovisual objects that surround us will enhance the affective and emotional
character of these objects and consequently our quality of living.
2. Recommending and adapting content to users preferences and
constraints: today, users are faced with a plethora of multimedia applications
and content, many of which offer similar value although, in many cases,
presenting slight variations. These may seem negligible to the users but in fact
might make a difference depending on the situation the user is in, his/her
contextual characteristics or own preferences. An essential aspect is the
development of mechanisms that enable systems to autonomously take
actions, contributing to the creation of “Multimedia context-aware
environments”.
3. Creation of intelligent, smart environments: to develop new multimedia
applications making use of interactive and immersive media technologies to
provide users more engaging and enhanced experiences. An interesting
feature is indeed the possibility to enhance learning through collective, richmedia experiences and in active, engaging way.
4. Efficient distribution of HD and 3D immersive content: the distribution of
HD and 3D immersive content impose tight requirements on systems and
networks. Guaranteeing Quality of user Experience (QoE), while delivering 3D
content over the Future Internet, is the most important factor to achieve user
acceptability. However, there are still a number of technological challenges
that need to be overcome, namely in: i) systems for capturing and generating
3D content, and the diversity of 3D content representation formats; ii)
heterogeneous technologies and varying performances of fixed and mobile
networks to deliver the 3D content; iii) rendering mechanisms required by 3D
displays and spatial audio systems; iv) understanding users’ expectations and
their usage environment characteristics.
5. Use of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 within traditional media sectors: the
audiovisual media landscape is facing important changes. In the very recent
years, the Web has experienced a dramatic level of expansion driven by the
introduction of new rich media and the proliferation of social networks.
6. Address social and ethical concerns: Research in multimedia has the
potential to contribute to maintaining and furthering the richness of human
culture. While globalization and connectivity have the tendency to establish a
rather uniform audiovisual culture, it is of utmost importance that this research
should aim towards maintaining, promoting and respecting cultural diversity
The present effort will ultimately help to train multidisciplinary researchers in a
multicultural society. Research in MAT is a highly multidisciplinary domain.
However, the boundaries of academic disciplines involved are quite sharp. The
increasing need for specialists in this domain will require a decisive growth in the size
and quality of existing relevant educational programmes and the creation of new
ones with a particular focus on a broad integration of Arts and Sciences, and on
promoting cross-cultural integration.
1.2.3 Contribution to National and Regional Agendas
The contribution for the Innovation Plan of the Northern Region of Portugal can be
demonstrated by the fully compliance with its systemic view of innovation: the
program proposed by INESC TEC has a significant impact on knowledge creation,
development of competences, technology transfer and creation of start-ups.
More specifically, and referring to the objectives of the Plan, an important contribution
is expected to comply with the following objectives:
Objective 1 - R&D reinforcement: the general objective of the Program is the
consolidation of existing competences and the reinforcement of critical mass in a
number of R&D areas where outstanding performance was achieved and recognized
at a national and international level, both regarding the scientific results and the
valorization and technology transfer capabilities
Objective 3 - Interactions: networking activities are essential for the development
of the Program that organizes and orchestrates a considerable critical mass of
human and other resources in different research groups and institutions
Objective 4 - New technology intensive activities: all projects in the Program
propose the development of novel and relevant technologies and know-how, with a
considerable number of valorization opportunities to be explored, completely in-line
with the strong and active involvement in nearly all of the Northern Region
Technological Poles and Clusters
Objective 5 – New activities focusing on cultural and environmental assets: an
emerging but fast growing activity in the three sectors referred as strategic in the Plan
of the Northern Region of Portugal - Ocean, Creative Industries and Tourism – will be
reinforced and consolidated by the Program
Objective 6 - Technology intensification in traditional sectors: INESC TEC will
continue to work tightly and reinforce the over two decades partnership with
industries in the so-called traditional sectors, namely footwear, textiles and garments,
wood, metal and mechanic and construction
Objective 7 - General purpose technologies: the Program is largely dedicated to
develop state-of-the-art information and communication technologies, electronics and
other horizontal technologies which are in fact enabling technologies in many areas
of application
From the above, it may be concluded that the proposed Integrated Program is totally
aligned with the Innovation Plan of the Northern Region of Portugal.
The contributions to the Collective Efficiency Strategies – i.e. Technological Poles
and Clusters – in place in the region will be of great relevance given the very high
involvement of INESC TEC research units in nearly all of them. This involvement
started with direct contributions at the very early stages of the design and
implementation of these instruments of public policy both near the Ministry of
Economy and Innovation and CCDR-N.
In particular, the MAT project is perfectly aligned with the ongoing concentration of
creative industries in the North region of Portugal. Further, the MAT project provides
a clear answer to the current political will of fostering cultural and creative industries
in Portugal, in particular in this region.
INESC Porto, the leader of INESC TEC and of the present Program, is a founding
member of the following Technological Poles and Clusters: Produtech (Production
Technologies), TICE (ICT and Electronics), Moda (Fashion), Energia (Energy),
Floresta (Forest), Mar (Ocean) and Indústrias Criativas (Creative Industries).
Moreover, INESC TEC is actively involved in many on-going projects with other
research institutions, companies and other stakeholders within the scope of these
initiatives.
Finally, senior staff and directors of INESC TEC have assumed responsibilities in the
coordination, management and governance of the following Technological Poles and
Clusters:
•
Produtech (Production Technologies) – Executive Director
•
TICE (ICT and Electronics) – member of the Board of Directors and VicePresident of the Board of Directors
•
Moda (Fashion) – member of the Founders Council
•
Energia (Energy) – President of the Scientific Council
This is another evidence of the solid contribution that INESC TEC has offered and
continues to offer to these Collective Efficiency Strategies that the Northern Region
considers vital as well as of the recognition that the stakeholders contributing to those
initiatives endorse to INESC TEC.
1.3 Project Structure and Plan
The main goals of this project being the development of innovative products and
services in the domain of Media Arts and Technology for use to industry and endusers, in order to reach the widest possible impact we will focus on three different
types of media: Music, Video, and Games.
The project is therefore structured in three Work Packages (WP), namely WP1:
Connected Music Creation, WP2: Social TV, and WP3: Serious Games for Effective
Learning.
Each WP is described in continuation. In addition to the tasks of all WP, there will be
a transversal task of project management and dissemination.
Project Manager: Fabien Gouyon
Work Package 1: Interaction with Music Information
Traditionally, scientific endeavours with music as object of study have addressed two
main aspects, alternately: (1) description or (2) generation of musical information.
While the former rather focuses on emulating human perceptual and cognitive
capabilities with computers (such as e.g. perception of rhythm, or music
categorization, etc.), the latter focuses on theory and tools related to the creative
process of music composition. Time has now arrived for shifting the focus from
processing musical information, either descriptively or generatively, to interaction with
musical information. A paradigm shift is necessary towards blending in the same
tools and technologies both descriptive and generative aspects, and focus on usebased research.
This Work Package builds on work developed in the last 5 years at INESC Porto on
Music Information Retrieval, Musical Robotics and Automatic Music Generation, and
at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (núcleo regional norte) on Tangible
Interaction and Network Music.
WP1 will include the following tasks:
1. Task 1.1: Computational description and generation. This task deals with the
development of algorithms and software modules for both description and
generation of musical data. Algorithms will be designed after a careful study of
the state-of-the-art, and a special focus will be put on real-time processing
capabilities.
2. Task 1.2: Tangible interfaces. Music is not only heard but also felt, and
although many aspects of music call for data processing, other aspects are
very much linked with physicality. The objective of this task will therefore be
the development of tangible interfaces for music creation.
3. Task 1.3: Recommendation. Interacting with music implies looking for,
browsing, and retrieving data. But in the context of this project, we advocate
that it also implies finding the best collaborators available at any given instant.
In this task, in the context of connected networks of users and music data, we
will therefore focus on the development recommendation engines for both
data and users.

Work Package 2: Social TV
The audiovisual media landscape is facing important changes that are driven by the
digital convergence phenomena, together with the enthusiastic acceptance by the
general public of emergent technologies and the “on-line” paradigm. In the very
recent years, the Web has experienced a dramatic level of expansion, driven by the
introduction of new rich media and the proliferation of social networks. As technology
is evolving, we are witnessing a strong integration of digital television with Internetlike multimedia applications. It is now possible to watch TV, or any multimedia
content, on a number of different terminal devices, either fixed or portable, and
presenting quite diversified hardware and software characteristics. Audiences of all
ages are changing the way they consume content. They are gradually assuming the
role of content producers, emerging within this dual scenario of heterogeneityintegration and traditional media players are seeing themselves confronted with new
challenges.
This new paradigm offers many advantages to the viewer, notably, lower costs,
engaging interactivity, mobility, scheduling flexibility, increased levels of participation,
integration of different media, namely natural video with virtual reality, 3D and virtual
games. Technology advances potentiate new levels of personalization, socialization
and adaptability to various usage contexts and thus, it is no longer expected that one
content be presented independently, in a static way, using single formats and
through single delivery platforms.
In this context, the ability to create contents integrating multiple media, seamlessly
converting between multiple formats, adapting to multiple platforms and
understanding, integrating and sharing user experiences, assumes especial
importance. New trends include the increasing access to on-line content through
mobile devices, the process of sharing tagging and classifying personal content, as
well as the integration of different personalised services.
The objective of this WP is to investigate and develop new methods and technologies
to enable further advance of the current state of the art in various related scientific
and technology topics essential to the implementation of the above referred paradigm
of creation, distribution and consumption of audiovisual contents. An appropriate
laboratorial infrastructure will be setup in order to allow researchers in content
production to develop new types of content.
The work package structure and methodology is driven by the need to balance and
promote the interoperation of the relevant research topics as well as with the other
WPs of the Line of Research. The work plan has been drawn to allow excelling S&T
challenges to be surmounted along the way towards the achievement of the desired
outcomes in the most effective way. Three tasks compose this WP, each one
addressing specific S&T topics that together contribute to the achievements of the
WP goal.
1. Task 2.1: Content creation and management. This task will look into the
process of creating and managing content in different formats and to different
platforms and consumption scenarios. It will investigate aspects related to
different narrative approaches, integration of different types of media formats,
repurposing of content and on the metadata required to manage all the
production, distribution and consumption process. New transmedia and
multiplatform content will be produced and evaluated. New types of interactive
content including animation and serious games will also be developed and
tested in different areas of application. To support the integration of all the
concepts, workflows and types of contents, the requirements for a flexible,
scalable and efficient media asset management system will be investigated.
2. Task 2.2: Content adaptation and personalisation. This task addresses the
problems of accessibility (through different networks and protocols), usability
(using different devices) and, ultimately, acceptability by anyone, anywhere, at
anytime. Given the diversity of usage scenarios and the increasing amount of
media content, adaptation and recommendation systems are crucial to
guarantee the success of a new application. Aspects related to both efficient
and semantically-rich forms of describing not only to user preferences but also
to the context of usage have to be taken into account so that novel and
efficient mechanisms that enable the creation of true context-aware
environments, effectively meeting users’ expectations, may be developed.
3. Task 2.3: Social Interaction. This task will address the problem of the
integration of the traditional media channels (radio, TV) and media
consumption paradigms with the ongoing and growing experiences on the
Web3.0. It will exploit the concepts of participatory media to enhance the
functionalities and services a content provider can deliver. It will investigate
new forms of increasing user engagement and satisfaction by semantically
analysing content created by the audience, enabling to: 1) establish clusters of
users based on a number of inferred characteristics, promoting social links; 2)
categorize the reaction of audience and/or clusters inferring the level of
acceptance and appreciation of the distributed content; 3) establish levels of
engagement and satisfaction of users, triggering the publication of
additional/wanted content.

Work Package 3: Serious Games for Effective Learning
Serious games use digital game technology for purposes other than pure
entertainment, on the basis of the notion of meaningful play. The concept of
meaningful play is related to the fact that actions and outcomes are both discernable
an integrated in the larger concept of game design.
Serious Games have been used with success in distinct areas, from military (flight
simulators are some of the early developments) to health, driving, management and
education, among others. Despite the technological issues of game engines being in
a state of maturity, promoted by the solid evolution of the entertainment market, there
are still scientific and methodological issues to address.
Most serious games lack a proper evaluation of the effectiveness of the solution to
the overall definition of learning objectives and acquired skills. Although most of
preliminary evaluations point to good results, confirmed from some of the more in
depth studies, a proper methodology should be defined in order to be adopted in the
workflow of serious games development.
Furthermore, there is also a need to define methodologies that are able to
systematize the process from the initial definition of learning objectives to the correct
selection of the game mechanics, integrated with the creative process of game
design. This research should be based on the theoretical basis in game theory and
education to provide in depth knowledge on the fundamental issues that connect
from meaningful play to effective learning. The pure integration of the more standard
software engineering methodologies with the creative issues in game design,
addressing storytelling, character development and level design is still an open issue.
In order to be able to achieve the learning objectives, serious games have to define a
nonlinear sequence of game levels in order to adapt to the student/practitioner
experience. This is one the main ingredients for a successful learning experience and
is one of the most complex processes in game/level design. Besides, most of game
design must be developed in realistic scenarios and should be adapted to the distinct
realities and cultural differences of the users. Considering a game that is meant for
learning the managing activities of a specific city it will be very different from country
to country. So, the key is to be able to automate level design from a consistent game
mechanics and a specification on the user environment. This lead could improve
performance and efficiency in game design.
Finally, serious games can only be effective in corporate environments if there is a
possibility to certify this learning process in order to be accepted as a valid in order
for a professional to be licensed to perform a specific professional activity. The state
of the art is still in need for a proper methodology to guide the development of
certified training programs based on serious games.
From this rationale we propose a work package for the research of novel
methodologies for the efficient design of serious games, developed as effective
learning devices to achieve the specified learning outcomes on a certified training
program. The WP is composed with distinct tasks to address fundamental research
at the most relevant scientific issues in serious games development that can
leverage a consolidated basis for applied research with distinct industrial and
governmental partners.
This WP is composed by the following tasks:
1. Task 3.1: Literature review on serious games, game theory, education,
psychology, sociology and game based learning. This task comprises also a
survey on the current state of the art of technological aspects and
methodologies for serious game design and on evaluation and assessment of
game based learning.
2. Task 3.2: Framework for game design based on learning outcomes. Serious
game design is based on learning outcomes, that define what kind of skills and
knowledge the user is supposed to achieve after playing the game. Based on
the results of task 1 we intend to classify the typical learning outcomes and
study the proposed game designs. Based on this research a framework will be
defined in order to easily define the proper game design to a set of learning
outcomes.
3. Task 3.3: Development of a game engine for educational games. A game
engine will be selected and some modules will be added in order to develop a
specific API that provides the functionality require by the framework developed
In task 2, enabling rapid prototyping and development of serious games.
4. Task 3.4: Procedural content generation of educational games. Serious games
are based on a specific game mechanics, but for each specific learning
outcome a series of levels have to be created to define a sequence of
challenges that provides learning. Procedural content generation methods will
allow for the automation of this process.
5. Task 3.5: Framework for the assessment and evaluation of educational
games. Assessment and evaluation is essential to verify if a specific game is
able to provide the desired learning outcomes. A framework will be defined in
order o increase efficiency and efficacy in this process.
6. Task 3.6: Certification of game based learning courses. Serious games are
developed in contexts that will provide skills for a certain professional to be
licensed to perform specific activities in is work. But a specific training program
must be defined in order to certify the professional in order to be able to exert
that activity. A set of guidelines will be defined and tests will be conducted in
order to assure the definition of certification programs.

Magalhães, Maximino Bessa, José Lino Oliveira, José Miguel Losa, Lígia Silva,
Ricardo Morla, Eurico Carrapatoso, Luís Torres Pereira, Vitor Manuel Filipe, Pedro
Carvalho, Research Fellowship BPD FEUP 1.4 Expected Scientific Outcomes
Basic research efforts will produce high-impact scientific publications. Namely, we
aim in the project at the publication of 10 journal papers in high impact journals (e.g.
ACM and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, etc.),
and 12 papers in high impact peer-reviewed conferences (e.g. ACM Multimedia,
IEEE Conference on Multimedia and Expo, ICASSP, etc.).
The project will have a significant impact on education, assisted living, entertainment
and creative and cultural industries. Therefore, we expect that the project will be
featured in the general national media (Newspapers, radio, TV, blogosphere, etc.).
An objective of the project will also be the proposal of 3 research projects to
National or International funding agencies (one per line of work, i.e. Music, Video
and Serious Games), and the proposal of 2 research projects to the European
Commission, taking advantage of the complementarities between the 3 lines of
work: one project targetting novel applications and technology transfer (probably
through the instrument of STREP EU projects), and another project targetting a better
European cooperation both in terms of education and basic research (probably
through the instrument of EU Networks of Excellence).
In order to foster at an international level the relevance of the research and
development done, the project will also comprise the organization of national and
international scientific events.
Finally, in order to provide an answer to the needs of the blooming creative industries
in Europe and to boost the relatively new field of Media Arts and Technologies in
European universities, the project will aim at the development of some modular
software units, with open licences when relevant/possible, therefore being usable
(and augmenting their impact and reusability by third parties) for academic teaching,
advanced training, as well as targeted consulting and development.
1.5 Exploitation of Results
Each Work Package in the project will target the development of a full-fletched
working prototype: a prototype for musical interaction, a prototype for integrated
audiovisual data consumption on the Web, and a prototype for game-based
learning courses for certification.
These technological developments will aim at general patent submissions after the
end of the project, when the technology will be mature enough.
Expected outcomes of each Work Package in the project will also account for
modular software technologies, opening the way to licensing specific parts of the
technology developped, relatively soon in the project timeline. This will permit to
satisfy a wide range of potential clients requiring tailored response to their specific
needs. This scenario is especially relevant in the domain of new media, where a rich
ecosystem of small to medium companies typically externalize the development of
technologies, and focus on software integration.
Further technology transfer may be reached via the incubation of a company in the
domain of one of the Work Packages, depending on what appears the most
promising some months after the project start.
1.6 Project Governance within INESC TEC Associate Laboratory
The governance model of the BEST CASE program relies on the coordination of
INESC Porto, as leader institution of INESC TEC.
The several projects are executed by the Research Units of INESC TEC, and there is
a double check system put in place: 1. Through the project coordinators; 2. Through
the Council of Research Units (RU), where all the coordinators of the RU meet with
the Board of Directors and take management decisions.
Furthermore, the SAB (Scientific Advisory Board) of INESC TEC acts as an
independent auditor for the scientific quality of the work developed.
This is the usual operating way of INESC TEC, well documented in the reports
regularly sent to FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology). At INESC TEC, one
has been able to implement with success a chain of command and responsibility
where researchers are accountable. The model at INESC Porto is that a periodic
evaluation of researchers is performed (every 3 months) and a scale of benefits and
rewards is applied as a function of productivity and target meeting degree. With
adaptations, all Units of INESC TEC follow a similar policy.
The basic management tool is the annual Plan and Budget, prepared in November
each year to regulate activity in the following year. The Plan is composed of several
targets to be met by each Unit, which are accepted by their Coordinators as a
compromise to be met. It includes targets about scientific activity (including
publications, theses and projects) and management targets (such as related to
human resources, contracts or operational margins to be attained as to secure the
financial health of the institution). The Plan will naturally include the activities
developed under the BEST CASE program.
A large degree of autonomy is granted to the Units in devising the strategy and
tactical moves to meet the planning targets accepted. However, as a general policy
line, all Units are invited to maintain a mix of activities from basic science to
technology transfer and knowledge valorization. The Board keeps the role of devising
mechanisms to stimulate cross-Unit cooperation.
The activity of the projects and of the Program will be subject to periodical reporting.
The progress of the work in each project and compliance with its targets will be
measured by indices of productivity and ratios such as: 1. papers published/papers
predicted; 2. events organized/events predicted; 3. manpower contracted/manpower
predicted; 4. prototypes produced/prototypes predicted. The actual indices to be
adopted may vary slightly with each project. At Board level, the management
priorities are to assure sustainability of the institute and maintain focus on its mission.
1.7 Human Resources: Existing and Proposed
The Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit of INESC Porto has more than 70
researchers, 35 of them with a PhD degree and develops its activity in some of the
key areas, traditional and emerging, of the telecommunications sector:
communication networks, audio and video processing, multimedia services and
optical communications.
Most of these areas are included in the general framework of the MAT paradigm and,
consequently, in line with the main objectives of the project. The team members have
extensive expertise within the multimedia area that will be complemented with new
post-doc that will develop their work within the project and improve the existing knowhow.
The activity that has been developed for several years by the Telecommunications
and Multimedia unit has been supported also by research from other units from
INESC Porto, namely in the information systems and computer graphics areas. The
USIG (Information and Computer Graphics Systems) unit will provide most of the
knowledge on computer graphics, augmented reality and serious games and strongly
support WP3. The team knowledge is also important for WP1 and WP2 as the project
aims at looking to multimedia services and approaches in an integrated manner.
The School of Arts of the Catholic University has had a strong contribution in the area
of audio and music processing in the last few years. By attracting young PhD
researchers and promoting international cooperation with well-know foreign
universities, UCP was able to set up a dynamic team with strong international
relations and experience on the participation in projects. INESC Porto and UCP have
already successfully collaborated in the past, both on common projects as well on the
orientation of young researchers.
University of Porto and the Polytechnic of Porto are full members of INESC Porto.
Faculty members from both institutions are integrated research members of INESC
Porto’s team. Their engagement in the project will contribute to a faster dissemination
of results ate graduate level and to possible adaptations of the curricula in each of
the schools.
INESC Porto has a vast experience in coordinating multi-national working groups
including significant experience in EU Research with participation in more than 91
R&D Projects, with an experienced management team capable to deal with the
complexity of the program.
This complexity of the program and the need to maintain a global scientific
perspective in different project activities enables the establishment of a Program
Coordination (PC), which will be the ultimate authority for strategic, technical and
dissemination decisions. The PC is also in charge of possible conflict resolution if not
solved by the individual project coordination.
The human resources allocation to the project is described in table 5.1 of annex A.
Considering the reinforcement of the research team, the project MAT has a clear
commitment to create scientific job, as can be seen in the project budget, with
research contracts and research fellowships allocated in a asignificant part of the
project's duration. This is expected not only to enable attracting experienced
international researchers but also to integrate young PostDoc.
The usual recruiting procedure is an open call published electronically in several
sites, namely the mandatory site of FCT (http://www.eracareers.pt/). INESC TEC also
has a database on contacts of individuals and institutions, especially focused on
Europe and Latin America, which allows the direct dissemination of the calls.

This publication will provide access from international researchers to Best Case job
opportunities. However, the contracting of international researchers cannot be
guaranteed due to the open nature of the call. Nevertheless, through this process
INESC Porto contracted in the period 2005-2010 a total of 19 researchers with PhD
degree and 11 were foreigners.
INESC TEC does not have a target in terms of number of international/foreign
researchers to contract – the target is on quality, regardless of nationality. It is
expected that the trend in the past may be maintained.
1.8 Project Budget
The Budget of the project can be seen in the following table (table 1), reflecting
mainly:
•
The need to hire skilled manpower mainly with Doctoral degrees either with
contracts or research fellowships.
•
The financial support for missions to attend conferences and scientific
meetings.
•
Financial support for scientific and technical equipment necessary to daily
work of the manpower intended to work on the project.
•
Budget also includes a component for laboratory equipment able to
accommodate research work and post-graduated courses in this scientific
area.
This table presents values for each beneficiaries of the project, where is it clear the
emphasis given to human resources.

Institution
3.1 Governance Model of INESC TEC Associate Laboratory
The governance model of the BEST CASE program relies on the coordination of
INESC Porto, as leader institution of INESC TEC.
The several projects are executed by the Research Units of INESC TEC, and there is
a double check system put in place: 1. Through the project coordinators; 2. Through
the Council of Research Units (RU), where all the coordinators of the RU meet with
the Board of Directors and take management decisions.
Furthermore, the SAB (Scientific Advisory Board) of INESC TEC acts as an
independent auditor for the scientific quality of the work developed.
This is the usual operating way of INESC TEC, well documented in the reports
regularly sent to FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology). At INESC TEC, one
has been able to implement with success a chain of command and responsibility
where researchers are accountable. The model at INESC Porto is that a periodic
evaluation of researchers is performed (every 3 months) and a scale of benefits and
rewards is applied as a function of productivity and target meeting degree. With
adaptations, all Units of INESC TEC follow a similar policy.
The basic management tool is the annual Plan and Budget, prepared in November
each year to regulate activity in the following year. The Plan is composed of several
targets to be met by each Unit, which are accepted by their Coordinators as a
compromise to be met. It includes targets about scientific activity (including
publications, theses and projects) and management targets (such as related to
human resources, contracts or operational margins to be attained as to secure the
financial health of the institution). The Plan will naturally include the activities
developed under the BEST CASE program.
A large degree of autonomy is granted to the Units in devising the strategy and
tactical moves to meet the planning targets accepted. However, as a general policy
line, all Units are invited to maintain a mix of activities from basic science to
technology transfer and knowledge valorization. The Board keeps the role of devising
mechanisms to stimulate cross-Unit cooperation.
The activity of the projects and of the Program will be subject to periodical reporting.
The progress of the work in each project and compliance with its targets will be
measured by indices of productivity and ratios such as: 1. papers published/papers
predicted; 2. events organized/events predicted; 3. manpower contracted/manpower
predicted; 4. prototypes produced/prototypes predicted. The actual indices to be
adopted may vary slightly with each project. At Board level, the management
priorities are to assure sustainability of the institute and maintain focus on its mission.
3.2 Contribution of the Programme/Project to the Consolidation of
INESC TEC Associate Laboratory
The Project includes the participation of two units of INESC Porto
(Telecommunications and Multimedia, leader; Information and Computer Graphics
Systems) and three Universities (University of Porto - UP, Polytechnic Institute of
Porto – IPP and Catholic University - UCP). These groups will contribute differently to
the Project, but their work will be multidisciplinary, as explained in the project
proposal (section 1 of this document).
Although some of these research units have already collaborated in the past, this
Project will represent an opportunity to strengthen the links and generate new
connections that will contribute to the consolidation of INESC TEC as an Associate
Laboratory.
It is important to stress the multidisciplinary character of the Project and of its team.
As a result, the scientific links between the units participating in this project will be
increased in number and robustness, with a positive effect on the Associate
Laboratory consolidation and on its external relations.
3.3
Beneficiaries involved in this specific Project and justification for
its involvement
In all research lines, INESC TEC involves INESC Porto and other beneficiaries in the
collective effort. The beneficiaries in the BEST CASE program beside INESC Porto
are mostly its associates: INESC Porto is a private, nonprofit institution and its
associates participating in the program are the UP - University of Porto (represented
mainly by the Faculties of Engineering, Sciences and Economy) and the IPP Politechnical Institute of Porto (represented by ISEP, the School of Engineering of
the IPP).
In special cases two other beneficiaries are also involved: the Catholic University and
the University of Minho. The first enters the Program specifically in the Research Line
devoted to Media Art Technology, because of the on-going collaboration in this field.
The second is the hosting institution for a research group that is in transition to
integrate INESC TEC – a case recognized by FCT and foreseen in the research
plans approved by this agency.
INESC TEC and these beneficiary institutions have a policy of sharing the research
effort and resources and this policy is translated into the program. Human resources
as well as investment are shared and allocated to actions according to the best
interest of the institutions and activity success.
This research line integrates the work of two units of INESC Porto
(Telecommunications and Multimedia, leader; Information and Computer Graphics
Systems), and three Higher Education Institutions (UP, IPP and UCP).
All the beneficiaries have already proved experience in participating in scientific
activities related to the MAT project. Nevertheless, the fast evolution that has been
happening not only in technologic but also in social aspects related to the way arts
and technologies can be used to create new services led to emergent concepts that
require the integration of all the individual knowledge.
Consequently, this partnership will provide the capability of addressing this new
scenario and assure a diversity of skills that are complementary in the several major
areas of research.

Economic and Financial Aspects
Under the terms provided in document number 9 entitled “Orientação de Gestão” of
2009, the Application “MAT”, submitted within the Call “Programas Integrados de
IC&DT”– SAESCTN-PIIC&DT/1/2011(Integrated Programme for Scientific Research
and Technological Development), does not fit the type of projects which generate
revenue, as outlined in Article 55 of Regulation (EC) number 1083/2006 of 11 July
2006.
The total budget for the proposed project is 739,280.73€ - 85% will be funded by
structural funds (ERDF), and remainder will be totally funded by the project’s
beneficiaries own funds. The values outlined for each budgetary item were calculated
based on the best possible estimations made while the application was being
completed. These estimations followed strict criteria regarding the reasonability and
suitability of the costs involved relatively to the expected results.
It is important to highlight that this volume of investment represents a significant own
funds effort from the beneficiary entities, which is proof of the consortium’s level of
interest and commitment.
The project’s level of investment (739,280.73€) simply represents a percentage of
the total estimated volume of R&TD expenses resulting from the activity of each
beneficiary entity in the years following the start of the project, and will be co-funded
by the funds resulting from the other activities that will be conducted by each
beneficiary entity.
