The EPoSS Approach
RD in advanced microsystems driven by
application

• Smart Systems
• are able to diagnose a situation, describe it and
  qualify it,
• mutually address and identify each other,
• are predictive,
• are able to decide and help to decide,
• enable the product to interact with the
  environment.
• They are miniaturised, networked, energy
  autonomous and highly reliable.

Priorities for RD in Smart Systems
EPoSS has identified three focus
functionalitiesof industrial RD in smart
systems technologies
Smart miniaturized devices with advanced
functionality and performance
1
Autonomously operating, power efficient,and
networked smart devices
2
Robust systems, compatible and adaptive to
environment and lifetime requirements

RD Priority 1
Smart miniaturized devices with advanced
functionality and performance

• miniaturized systems including multisensing,
  processing, wireless communication, and/or
  actuation capabilities
• highly sensitive and selective sensor devices
  with preciseactuators and tuneable components
• multidisciplinary simulation and modelling,
  packaging, characterisation and testing, and
  tamper resistance

RD Priority 2
Autonomously operating, power efficient,and
networked smart devices

• sustainable generation and management of energy
  and novel communication solutions for
  long-lasting autonomous operation
• innovative approaches to energy scavenging,
  storage and transmission, power generation,
  accumulation

RD Priority 3
Robust systems, compatible and adaptive to
environment and lifetime requirements

• harsh environments
• made from materials compatible with the operating
  environment and they provide an inherent
  reliability
• failure tolerant architectures supporting sensor
  systems adaptive to changing sensing
  requirements, smart implants, biocompatible
  systems, and other devices with in-vivo
  verification
