History

• MONET 1
• 1997 2000
• Forging links between the Centres of Excellence
  in MBSQR in order to further this field of study
• MONET 2
• Began January 2002
• Narrowly focused remit in order to achieve the
  greatest results. Thus the four domain
  application Task Groups were chosen.
• Automotive Domain
• Bio-Medical Domain
• Education and Training
• Fault Detection and Diagnosis

Project Aims

• To demonstrate that the application of MBS/QR
  methods can enhance the capacity of European
  industry to innovate and compete effectively.
• To transfer MBS/QR methods into industry and
  public sectors on a targeted basis.
• To demonstrate that success in applying MBS/QR
  technologies in one sector is both applicable and
  transferable to others.

4
Rolling Wave

• Tier 1 Automotive Task Group
• Applying existing technologies
• Successful Projects
• Industrial Applications
• Tier 2 Education and Training BRIDGE
• Developing existing technologies
• Successful idea (limitations)
• Binding methods and techniques
• Tier 3 Bio-Medical Task Group
• Creating applicable technologies
• Forming a Community
• Illustrating areas for applications

5
Automotive

• Lead by Luca Console (Turin)
• Promote MBSQR Technologies through Automotive
  Sector
• Publicity (Auto Supplement)
• Visit / Presentations
• Transfer past and present Project knowledge into
  future Projects within this Domain
• Ensure real-world applicability of Project
  Results
• Technological Roadmap
• Provide channels for expertise and experience
  (Acc ? Ind)
• Exchange Centres

6
Bio-Medical

• Lead by George Coghill (Aberdeen) and Peter Lucas
  (Nijmagen)
• Facilitate communication amongst Researchers and
  Industrialists
• Workshops (Elspoot (2002) / AIME03 (Oct 2003))
• EUNITE / MONET Joint Session Bio-Informatics
  11am Friday
• Make MBSQR technologies available to the Bio-Med
  / Health Care Communities
• Clarify applicable problems and identify possible
  solutions
• Technological Roadmap
• Identify synergies with other approaches

7
Education and Training

• Lead by Bert Bredeweg (Amsterdam)
• Establish a forum of Educational MBSQR Users
• Integrate MBSQR technologies with recent WWW /
  multi-media technologies
• Identify possibilities and limitation of this
  approach
• Ecological Modelling
• Integrate Education and Training techniques into
  other domain applications
• Links to Auto TG
• QRSER Project

8
BRIDGE(Fault Detection and Diagnosis)

• Lead by Louise Travé-Massuyès (LAAS, Toulouse)
• Transfer MBD into Industry related disciplines
• Identify Industrial Challenges / Opportunities
• Characterise and Contrast FDI and DX theories
• Identify competing / complementary methods and
  solutions for FDI/DX
• Generate standards and protocols for technique
  combination
