Ambient Assisted Living• ICT innovation to increase elderly and disabled people

autonomy • Research lines:

– Smart semantic middleware to coordinate AAL devices– Novel natural human-environment interaction– Reasoning and learning for reactive activity recognition– Custom-built hardware to sense people’s vital signs

9

Service Infrastructure for Future Internet

• Devise service infrastructure for Future Internet which fosters the development and deployment of Internet of Things scenarios

• Research lines:– Novel mechanisms to discover, consume, compose and interact with

“surrounding” services based on context – Real world object annotation with micro-service ontologies– Context-aware service discovery, recommendation and composition– End-user’ and environment’s goal–driven programming

10

Mobile Context-Aware Service Prosuming

• Provide infrastructure to enable context-aware service prosuming from last generation mobile devices

• Research lines:– Semantic context annotation and reasoning in embedded mobile environments– Service infrastructure for mobile embedded devices– Context-sensing based on mobile devices built-in sensing hardware– Advanced mobile-mediated user-environment interaction

Prosumer Concept: MUGGES

• MUGGES: Mobile User Generated Geo Services– A new approach for exploiting innovative GNSS-based mobile LBS

applications, personal, social or professional: the mobile prosumer concept.

– A new location model combining GNSS-based positioning and user-provided social positioning in order to support more significant location-based services.

– A new business model, with the “mobile as the service platform”, the “user adds value” and the “very long tail” as the three main pillars.

– A new GNSS-based application paradigm driving to a new service infrastructure and platform tools.

Personal Smart Sensing Mobile Devices: PIRAmIDE

• PIRAmIDE aims to transform our mobile devices into a 6th sense which aids and mediates on our behalf easing and improving our daily interactions with everyday objects and locations– An important aspect is to address the needs of visually impaired

• URL: http://www.piramidepse.com

23

CBDP: Context-Based Digital Personality

• Creation of a context-based digital personally (DP) which acts as an enabling proxy between digital surroundings and the final user. – DPs will benefit from mobile technologies for context-creation, maintenance

and usage; and from semantic technologies for formal decisions and verifications.

– Usage of DP will simplify everyday interaction between users and their surrounding digital environments.

Assistive Technologies

• The goal is to contribute with several devices which can be easily integrated in an elderly person’s home:– Digital frame with enhanced communication, alert

or interaction capabilities– Set-top-box with event scheduler and monitor

providing interface through TV and remote– RFID tags to log care events collected and

published by NFC phones to Twitter
