1 Executive Summary This deliverable provides an update on the “Dissemination and Communication Plan” for the ALOHA

project, firstly explained in the deliverable “D7.2 Plan for the dissemination and communication”

(delivered in April 2018). For this reason, some parts of the texts and some parts of the paragraphs

presented in the following pages (mainly the ones with a generic focus), could be similar with related

topics already described in the mentioned deliverable.

This document sets the guidelines for all the project’s activities and better defines the ones for the next 18

months.

The final chapter of this document provides the foreseen plan for the project’s second half, with a timeline

of the planned activities.

As stated in the previous plan, Dissemination constitutes a decisive factor for the successful exploitation of

the key ALOHA results, having as its major objective to raise awareness on the activities performed during

the project’s lifetime and beyond.

According to the European Commission, “By definition, the Plan for the Exploitation and Dissemination of

Results is a document which summarizes the beneficiaries’ strategy and concrete actions related to the

protection, dissemination and exploitation of the project results”. (1)

In order to design an effective dissemination plan, we followed the main guidelines suggested by several

EU education and culture programs:

strategy identifying which results to disseminate and to which audiences – and designing

programs and initiatives accordingly;

identification of organizational approaches of the different stakeholders and allocation of

responsibilities and resources;

implementation of the strategy by identifying and gathering results, and execution of

dissemination and exploitation activities;

monitoring and evaluation of the effects of the activities.

Consequently, in the next pages we propose a list of possible targets to which the research products of the

project must be disseminated: a wide audience including stakeholders, the general public, the scientific

community, potential partners, and potential business users of the outcomes of the project. At the same

time, we indicate a set of possible actions, which can be performed in order to target such audiences.

In the first 18 months, the ALOHA partners released a kit of communication material to support the

ALOHA visibility, and create a project graphical identity, ranging from technical presentations, brochures,

leaflets, posters, etc. The project public website (available at http://www.aloha-h2020.eu) was released at

the beginning of the project and it will be continuously maintained in the next months and at least 2 years

after the project conclusion. Throughout the lifetime of the project, the website will be kept up to date

with news, events, publications, project results and outcomes. In addition, the ALOHA social media

channels (Twitter, LinkedIn) were created to actively engage with an international audience. A detailed

dissemination report, including results from the mentioned points and results regarding the publications

of papers or articles for magazines and media, is provided in D7.5 “Dissemination and communication

report”.

This version of the plan will be updated at M36 (as D7.4) to discuss the plan for dissemination and

communication of the foreground.

http://www.aloha-h2020.eu/




1.1 Structure of the document This document is structured as follows:

Chapter 1 introduces the context of dissemination and communication activities and states the

purpose of this document.

Chapter 2 describes the target groups involved in the dissemination plan.

Chapter 3 provides an overview of activities under evaluation to ensure the visibility of ALOHA

towards the research community, including training events, summer schools and other scientific

actions. It includes an overview on the open access policy and on the intellectual property (IP)

management process that typically govern the publication of research results; the chapter also

provides a list of articles already accepted or submitted and a list of journals that may be

considered as publication targets for the publication of ALOHA research results.

Chapter 4 contains a description of the actions towards general public, providing an overview of

the work to be done for the preparation/update of traditional dissemination material (press

releases, posters, flyers, brochures, slides) and digital material (web pages, posts on social media

channels).

Chapter 5 describes the actions of all the partners towards industrial stakeholders and SME

(creation of a user community, exploitation of the partners’ networks, participation to fairs and

exhibitions).

Chapter 6 provides a conclusion of the document summarizing performed and planned activities

in a timeline.




2 Dissemination targets In this section, we identify and define the targets of ALOHA communication and dissemination activities

embodied in this plan, which are mainly:

Scientific Community, in particular those public and private institutions involved in the

development of: (i) deep learning algorithms, (ii) systems based on machine learning and

artificial intelligence, (iii) solutions for cyber-security and secure machine-learning

algorithms, and (iv) embedded systems. This audience will be reached through scientific

publications, with the participation to conferences and workshops, and with the organization of

summer schools and other scientific events. The consortium itself will organize a final

workshop/networking event. Workshops will also facilitate the creation of synergies between

current running EU research projects, improving the coordination of ALOHA results with

European and national efforts. The evaluation criteria to measure the attainment of this goal will

be based on quantities (number of publications, number of attendees...) and on qualitative

standards (level of the conference, quality of the feedback obtained, and profile of persons

contacted).

Stakeholders and potential End-Users, private and public companies, in particular Small and

Medium Enterprises and mid-caps, involved in adopting or creating novel solutions for the

implementation of deep-learning algorithms on low-power embedded systems. This audience will

be reached through the participation at industrial fairs and exhibitions, and through activities

dedicated to show the ALOHA impact in the markets of Low-power devices, Video surveillance,

Software development for mobile devices, Smart medical devices. A specific set of activities of the

dissemination Work Package (in strictly collaboration with other WPs) and a set of activities

dedicated to the ALOHA user community, will be devoted to this purpose (that includes the

development and demonstration of prototypes related to three use-cases: Surveillance of Critical

Infrastructures; Command Recognition in Smart Industry Applications; Cost-and power-effective

medical decision assistant).

General Public will be reached ensuring a proper communication of the project’s objectives to the

media, raising awareness around ALOHA research themes. The consortium will properly appoint

the EU funding during each communication and dissemination activity. ALOHA will reach this

audience through events or project’s official digital channels, press releases, articles on web

magazines.

Following a 3-steps strategy, each strategic result will be disseminated in this way to each strategic

target with a customized type of information: research findings behind the goals for the scientists,

demonstrations for companies, public awareness on the innovation carried on by the European

Commission for more general public. Figure 1 depicts the envisioned strategy.

3 Activities targeting the scientific community

These activities aim at presenting both objectives and results of the ALOHA project to the scientific

community. This will be achieved with a combination of technical publications on scientific journals,

presentations at conferences and workshops, and dedicated events organized to promote research

exchange and share knowledge.

3.1 Publications: journals and conference proceedings Project results and innovations will be submitted for publication in high-quality international scientific

conferences and journals, using a gold or green open access (see paragraph 3.4). Publications will

certainly address computer architecture, deep learning and design automation topics. Here follows a list

3.2 Participation to other scientific events, Workshops, Symposia and Conferences Project participants are already active in the Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence community. The

project participants will actively participate to events, symposia, conferences and workshops to

provide a possibility to disseminate results of the project in the wider research community.

The consortium itself will organize a final workshop/networking event to which, researchers, SMEs

and other companies, developers and all the relevant stakeholders will be invited. Workshops will also

facilitate the creation of synergies between currently running EU research projects, improving the

coordination of ALOHA with European and national efforts. The workshop can be organized in

cooperation with other funded projects with related objectives.

Most conferences also include a University Booth or an Exhibition Area to show posters/demos, where the

and 2019 editions the University of Cagliari presented the ALOHA objectives through a poster.

Galleries and details on the event are reported in D7.5 “Report on the dissemination and

communication” (M18). Next editions of the event (2020 and 2021) are considered as

dissemination opportunities.

3.4 Access type and intellectual property rights Typically, there are several fees and costs that are associated with the publication of a scientific article.

The most usual paradigm allows for subscription-based access to scientific articles, with the cost

burdening the reader or an institution that wishes to make the article available to their user base. A

variety of scientific journals, however, has recently shifted to the paradigm of Open Access.

Open Access can be described as the practice of providing unrestricted access to scientific publications

free-of-charge for the interested reader. As such, “Open Access” is considered as a good way to maximize

visibility of research results. The term “Open Access” can also be broadened to include free access to

scientific data in raw or processed form. Specifically, the Budapest Declaration (2002) states the following

https://spritz.math.unipd.it/events/2019/PIU2019/PagesOutput/MLS/Call%20for%20Participants.html

http://www.cpsschool.eu/

http://sites.unica.it/opendays4openminds/




definition of Open Access (2):

“By open access to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to

read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for

indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or

technical barriers other than those inseparables from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint

on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors

control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.”

Open Access (OA) is usually implemented in two ways:

• “Green” OA: “Green” access means that the publisher does not provide unrestricted access to a scientific

publication, yet the author retains the right to self-archive the original manuscript after peer review,

either in their respective institutional repository or any other online service (e.g. arXiv). In certain cases,

there is a designated “embargo period” before which the author is not allowed to archive their work. In

“green” access, the reader may choose the manuscript version free-of-charge or, alternatively, they will be

burdened with a subscription fee for accessing the final version of the publication.

• “Golden” OA: “Golden” access means that the publisher will be providing full access rights to the reader

without the need for a fee. The publication fee (also known as an “Article Processing Charge”) is shifted to

the author, or their respective institutions.

A large number of journals and publishing houses also require a transfer of IP Rights (IPR) prior to

publishing a scientific article. This is considered the norm in cases of typical subscription-based journals

or “green” access journals. The authors are usually required to sign an IP Transfer Form, designating a

journal or its associated publishing house as the sole holder of IPR for the publication. In “golden” OA it is

not always necessary to transfer IPR to the publishing house or journal and the authors usually retain

their IPR. Public Copyright licenses such as Creative Commons (CC) are often employed to protect authors’

rights to their work in such cases.

Currently, most scientific journals offer some kind of Open Access option for the prospective authors.

Hybrid access journals also exist, which offer the choice between either Open Access implementations or

the typical subscription-based paradigm.

The ALOHA consortium will ensure Open Access to all peer reviewed scientific publications relating

to its results. In particular, each consortium author will deposit, as soon as possible and at the latest on

publication, a machine-readable electronic copy of the published version or final peer-reviewed

manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for scientific publications. Moreover, the author will

deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results presented in the deposited

scientific publications. The author will ensure Open Access to the deposited publication — via the

repository — at the latest, i) on publication, if an electronic version is available for free via the publisher,

or ii) within six months of publication in any other case.




4 Activities targeting the general public In order to target the general public, during the first months of project activities, the graphical identity and

the digital presence of the project were established in order to standardize all the internal and external

communications around the project. A package of communication/dissemination material has

consequently been produced. This material will be used (and updated if necessary) during the next steps

of the project lifetime.

All the following points are better reported in D7.2 “Plan for the dissemination and communication”

(delivered at M4) and in D7.5 “Dissemination and communication report” (due at M18).

In particular, the consortium created/released:

Project logo with the purpose of communicating technological feelings, mixing together the

concepts of human brain and artificial intelligence;

Standard templates for official ALOHA’s documents and presentations have been released to the

whole consortium;

Two versions of a project brochure/flyer, released in English language (but they can be

edited/translated and distributed by the partners in other languages), to be used, printed and

distributed during the project dissemination events;

Project poster to be shown at exhibitions and fairs;

Project website, available at http://www.aloha-h2020.eu. It has been (and will be) constantly

updated with articles, news, information about publications and deliverables;

Twitter account, available at https://twitter.com/ALOHA_H2020: it has 100 followers and 92

tweets at the moment and it will be constantly used to push news and project updates

LinkedIn account, available at https://www.linkedin.com/company/aloha-project, and it will be

constantly used to push involve new users in the ALOHA users community

Figure 2 – ALOHA digital presence (official website on the left, Twitter profile on the right)

The ALOHA digital presence is constantly monitored through specific tools (e.g. Google analytics), and

statistics and evaluations about the ALOHA digital audience are reported in the periodic dissemination

reports, starting from D7.5.

4.1 Press releases and media coverage General public has been and will be reached through magazines and through (on-and-offline) newspapers,

media coverage will be also ensured in order to raise public awareness on the project’s issues. All the

existing channels of communication and activities of the consortium will be used.

Each press release will properly appoint the EU funding in order to inform the European Citizens about

the good use of public funding. Next press releases will be distributed before or after the project crucial

and strategical moments (e.g. meetings, workshops, demonstrators’ releases). Here follow a short list of

articles and press releases that have been already planned:

Month 19/20 (July/August 2019): Article in the Italian web magazine

https://www.agendadigitale.eu (by PLURIBUS ONE)

Month 20/21 (August/September 2019): press release related to the three ALOHA use cases

(Surveillance of Critical Infrastructures; Command Recognition in Smart Industry Applications; Cost-

and power-effective medical decision assistant). (by UNISS/UNICA)

Month 36 (December 2020): press release related to the final ALOHA workshop and presentation

of final results. (by UNISS/UNICA)

https://www.agendadigitale.eu/




5 Activities targeting stakeholders, SMEs and developers

5.1 Participation to Fairs and Events These activities are foreseen to increase the visibility of the ALOHA partners in the market. This is

particularly important for industrial partners because it increases the dissemination opportunities during

the project as well as the exploitation opportunities after the project. This kind of activities is also

important to create synergies with SMEs and developers, involving them in the ALOHA user community

and showing the ALOHA use-cases demonstrators. Here follows a list of potential events considered by the

consortium as dissemination targets for individual and joint dissemination actions to be carried out in

2019 and 2020.

5.2.1 User community and material for users and developers

ALOHA partners aim at building and enforcing a user community around the project. So, ALOHA will

participate to multiple events to promote the project to academia and industry, and local communities to

strengthen the impact of the project and enlarge the ALOHA network.

The community of users will be exploited as primary mean to disseminate projects finding and to receive

first-hand feedback on the project outcome. These users will be notified on any project release, even the

partial ones, and will access them. The ALOHA partners are committed to prepare specific distribution

material for this community, such us:

Online demos and Videos on the ALOHA toolflow and on the ALOHA partial and final

demonstrators (Surveillance of Critical Infrastructures, Command recognition in smart industry,

Cost- and power-effective medical decision assistant) e.g. “Key Word Spotting on SensorTile

demo 1” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjbOjzT6fUg (UNISS)

Periodic summaries of new features included in the ALOHA toolflow and announcements on

forthcoming events, conferences and workshops

Extensive FAQ about the ALOHA toolflow

A specific task (T7.3 User community) of the project is dedicated to the improvement of the ALOHA

community of users and an always-on registration form (for the users subscriptions) has been already set

in the official website at: http://www.aloha-h2020.eu/index.php/project/get-involved This page is linked

in the main-menu (Project section) and always linked in each page of the website (footer area) and will be

shared through potential users during events and fairs. The page clearly displays the user community

objectives and the material that will be prepared and notified to users as soon as released and available.

Furthermore, the page clearly displays the ALOHA User Community Online Privacy Statement and that the

consortium will use the users’ data only for networking purposes and will not share this data with third

parties.

Furthermore, both UNICA and UNISS are participating to regional technology transfer projects, involving

clusters of local SMEs (eg. Cluster PROSSIMO, www.cluster-prossimo.it, which involves 10 SMEs, including

also PLURIBUS). These clusters will be used as reflectors also for ALOHA technologies trying to involve the

companies into the ALOHA user community. UNISS, in cooperation with PLURIBUS and UNICA, team will

organize a workshop and a tech transfer day on ALOHA topics inviting the PROSSIMO companies.
