  1. SRA Ambient Intelligence 2008

  2. Ambient Intelligent systems • Are • Deeply networked systems • Highly distributed embedded systems • Autonomous and self-supporting intelligent devices • Facilitates interaction between people and products • What’s in a name? • Ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, invisible computing, disappearing computer, Smart Surroundings, ..

  3. Challenges should consider Systems Environment The human Research activities include Embedded device development Networking technologies and protocols Interfaces and interaction System architecture and foundation Multidisciplinary Embedded systems Wireless communication Distributed computing Application platforms Human-computer interaction Industrial design Knowledge areas

  4. Activities 2008 • European projects • Dutch projects • IIP Sensor Networks • FES 2009

  5. European projects - Research • Relate “Relative positioning” (FP6 STREP, TUD) • zero-state routing • MiXiM simulation framework • WASP (FP6, IP, TU/e) • integration of entire development and deployment range, including tooling • Sofia (Artemis, since January 1, 2009, TU/e) • system and software infrastructure in smart environments • focus on applications in lighting • AWARE (FP6, STREP, UT) • Autonomous systems integrating UAVs and WSN • SENSEI (FP7, IP, UT) • WSN in the Future Internet • IS-Active (AAL, UT, TUD) • Activity recognition and real-time feedback for COPD

  6. European projects - networks • Network of Excellence • CONET - Cooperating Objects Network of Excellence (FP7, TUD) • simulations • deployment issues • Testbeds • Wisebed “Wireless Sensor Network Testbeds” (FP7, TUD) • building infrastructure for real-world testing • integration of real data and simulation

  7. National projects • Smart Surroundings (Bsik, UT, TUD, TU/e) • WSN & ubiquitous computing • Vitruvius (IOP Gencom, since January 1, TU/e) • (security in) health care monitoring applications • ‘iLighting the world’ • Local, interdisciplinary initiative of TU/e around lighting • ALwEN “Ambient Living with Embedded Networks” (PointOne, TUD) • QoS-aware protocol adaptation • Featherlight (STW, UT) • lightweight distributed systems • Harsh (PointOne, UT) • wireless communication in harsh environments • Wireless food sensor system (Pieken in de Delta, UT) • agriculture, moisture monitoring • FREE (PointOne, UT, TUD) • energy harvesting and resource management in wsn • Senior (Pieken in de Delta, UT) • inertial sensing in the interaction with people and objects • Real Time Enterprise (CTIT, WISE, UT (6 chairs)) • Multidisciplinary project on distributed processing and networking for transport & logistics

  8. Smart Environments Lab • In Twente: SmartXP • Smart eXPerience lab • Collaboration among several chairs • In cooperation with Create • Will provide facilities and act as testbed/living lab for research projects

  9. IIP Sensor Networks • Kicked off in April 2008 • Paul Havinga, Jan Maas, Sensor Universe • Several meetings of ‘tables’ • Care and lifestyle • Mobility, logistics • Connections with HBO • Water • Safety • Formally approved December 1, 2008 • STW programme "Autonomous Sensor Systems“ • ASCI Spring school Wireless Sensor Networks, 2008

  10. FES 2009 • Focus on ‘Cooperative Embedded Intelligence’ • Embedded Systems Institute • Smart Surroundings • Freeband • Several project proposals around the application of sensor networks • Public safety • Transport, logistics, enterprise efficiency • Large scale networks • Distributed reasoning, well being and well working • Industrial safety • Strong industrial participation • SMEs and large industries

  11. Conclusion • Lots of (mainly) individual activities in research • European research projects (FP6/7, AAL, Artemis) • National projects (Bsik, PointOne, Pieken, STW, IOP) • Showing strong interest from industry • Some joint research projects • Current focus themes (in order) • Wireless Sensor Networks • Ubiquitous computing • Industrial design • HMI • Cooperation • Smart Surroundings • IIP Sensor Networks • FES 2009 • Joint education • Would be nice…. • (e.g. in Master Embedded Systems) • Spring school WSN (2008)
