ICT has always profited from cross-fertilization with other scientific disciplines, including mathematics, biology, materials science and psychology. This is reflected in the wide range of problems and challenges to be addressed in the identified research areas. For example:
the miniaturization of components on a chip requires new materials and new designs, as well as a search for alternative computing methods, eg quantum computing
since future ICT systems need greater ‘intelligence’ in order to function properly, a promising way to achieve this is to study how living organisms – from a single cell to animal colonies and the human brain – process information
the rapidly increasing volume and complexity of data and networks, in which humans interact with many small, embedded, mobile devices, requires penetrating studies of complex systems (Nature may teach us here too)
mechanisms should be devised to ensure security for, and trust in the use of future technologies, which offer dazzling possibilities but also serious threats.
