3. Memories for Life: establish ways in which personal data can be securely stored and searched.
4. Scalable Ubiquitous Computing Systems: establish design principles
5. Architecture of Brain and Mind: find out how the human brain works.
6. Dependable Systems Evolution: establish a scientific foundation to build systems whose dependability can be justified.
7. Journeys in Non-Classical Computing: drawing on nature for inspiration and building complex computer systems.
