Vision of the IST programme ”Create an ambient intelligence landscape(for seamless delivery of services and applications)in Europe relying also upon testbeds andopen source software, develop user-friendliness,and develop and converge the networking infrastructure in Europe to world-class" http://www.cordis.lu/ist/istag.htm M. Richonnier
Vision of the IST - KA1“Ambient intelligence” • Beyond “ the screen and keyboard interface” • A knowledge society for ALL • “Our surrounding is the interface” to IST applications and services • Multi-sensorial interfaces supported by computing and networking: • everywhere • in everyday objects • offering natural interactions (voice, gesture etc.) M. Richonnier
IST KA1 R&D paradigms • From data telematics (3rd FP) to multi-media telematics (4th FP) to ambient intelligence (5th FP) • Ambient intelligence = ubiquitous computing + ubiquitous communication + intelligent interfaces which will allow... • The realisation of innovative,user-friendly, intelligent and communicating application systems that will improvedelivery of services to users. M. Richonnier
Reminder on IST • Visible part of integration: Cross Programme Actions and Integrated Application Platforms (12% of budget) = “the tip of the iceberg” • Application R&D (+/- 50% of the budget) combines both technology research and system integration • Genuine industrial participation with a view to exploitation of results M. Richonnier
Key Action 1: Objectives • Exploit the potential offered by progress in “ambient intelligence” through RTD in new application systems for making general interest services user-friendly, dependable, cost-effective and interoperable. improve competitiveness & meet user demands M. Richonnier
Key Action 1:Aim 1. Innovativeapplication systems, i.e. systems that will be new at the end of the project 2. That have significant exploitation potential Innovative integration - progress wrt state of the art New IST components M. Richonnier
Key Action 1:Focus • Improving impact: • Critical mass: • Open to larger projects - no “one size fits all” • Concentration on strategic issues • Focus on the vision of “ambient intelligence” • Fostering longer-term and/or high-risk effort • Reinforcing the eEurope momentum beyond 2002 M. Richonnier
