Amec (Ambient Ecologies)
“AMEC addresses this challenge by defining an architectural framework and developing the methodologies, tools and design methods needed for systems to interact with people…”
The AMEC project pursues the concept of living with almost invisible, intelligent interactive systems that will form a part of our everyday existence and environment.
AMEC addresses this challenge by defining an architectural framework and developing the methodologies, tools and design methods needed for these systems to interact with people. This will facilitate a user-centered solution to this new environment.
The project was completed in November 2006 and received the “Most Outstanding Project” award from ITEA in 2007.

Caring Cars

“By adding external communication to the infrastructure proposed by the project, it will also become possible to use the same infrastructure to support health care applications.”

The main goal of the Caring Cars project is to increase car safety by implementing wellness applications in an automotive environment. To achieve this, the project will employ an open automotive infrastructure that will consist of a sensor network integrated with a car gateway. This sensor network will be made up of the sensors that are already available in vehicles equipped with new sensors.

The car gateway will establish a connection with the external world and will be able to signal emergency services, for instance. In this way, it will be possible to improve car safety and thus reduce the cost of transportation.

By adding external communication to the infrastructure proposed by the project it will also become possible to use the same infrastructure to support health care applications.

The project is currently in progress and will be completed in December 2009.

CBDP

“DPs will use mobile technologies for context-creation, maintenance and usage, and will employ semantic technologies for formal decisions and verification.”

CBDP will create a context-based Digital Personality (DP) as a proxy between digital environments and the end user.

DPs will use mobile technologies for context-creation, maintenance and usage, and will employ semantic technologies for formal decisions and verification.

Use of DPs will simplify everyday interaction between users and digital environments and will provide a framework for implementing value-added services for mobile operators, the construction industry and companies that use Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT).

Project is an on-going project and will be completed in January 2010.

HDTVNext

“This end-to-end system will offer a complete solution for Europe.”

HDTVNext intends to research and develop the next generation high-definition television (HDTV) platform and the means of deployment. It will build on utilization case studies from both the HD@Home and HD Video on Demand ITEA projects.

HDTVNext will develop an HDTV 1080p 50-Hz end-to-end system from professional content creation to the final end user at home. This end-to-end system will offer a complete solution for Europe.

The project is currently in progress and will be completed in January 2010.

WearIT@Work
“Its goal is to produce wearable computers, the next generation computing platform, in the industrial arena.”
This is an FP6 project. Its goal is to produce wearable computers, the next generation computing platform, in the industrial arena.
These arenas primarily include Health, Production, Maintenance and Emergency. Project consortium has more than 40 partners including international corporations like Siemens, Microsoft, HP, Carl Zeiss, Skoda, etc.
The project will be completed by May 2009.
