  1. FP6 Project ICING Innovative Cities for the Next GenerationDr John Donovan,Dublin Institute of Technology.

  2. ICING Innovative Cities of the Next Generation • The 'ICING City' Vision and Project Background and Partners • Objectives • Current Status • Dissemination & Exploitation

  3. The ICING Project Framework 6 IST Coordinated by the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) 30 months (end June 2008) Total budget: €4.6m Total EU funding: €3m ICING Cities are Knowledge Cities

  4. ICING Objectives • To research ‘e-Communities’ • Design and test "social software" - Urban Mediator • Test "intelligent urban environments" - sensors and location based services • Universal Access Gateways - Multi Access Gateway • Test web tools for process modelling & decision support • Build ICING testbeds • Evaluate the usability and usefulness of the technologies and services • To publicise and disseminate results to city administrations, professional communities and citizen’ groups • Create a roadmap for the exploitation of results

  5. ICING e-Communities eCommunity is a local community engaged in its traditional pursuits that are additionally and deliberately supported by online infrastructure, education and local activity.

  6. Design and test "social software" - Urban Mediator • ICING software designed iteratively by real people • ICING software tested in real situations • Helsinki - Rabbits destroying habitat • Dublin - Access survey, privacy sensitive locator • Barcelona - traffic, Citizens' help line

  7. ICING "intelligent urban environments" • Sensors and location based services • Notion of citizen as ‘sensor’. • They are involved in their cities • They can provide information • Accurate determination of location is critical but… • Privacy • Accuracy

  8. ICING Location Client - a key technology • Zero Cost• Network Independent• Privacy Sensitive• Hybrid Technology Solution• Modular Design &    Open Source• Indoor and Outdoor    Positioning

  9. Universal Access iMessenger • Easy to use. • Ubiquitous • Familiar • Useful • Accessible • Multiplatforms • Phones • PCs

  10. Web tools for process modelling & decision support • 'Mash' existing data with user generated data • Innovative uses for data • 'Wrap' existing datasystems to make them available • Prioritising issues in real-time • Better information - better decisions • Locationing (again)

  11. Building ICING testbeds • Real test deployments in real cities • UM in Dublin, Helsinki • Waste Management in Barcelona, Dublin • Accessibility in Dublin • Mobility Planning (Barcelona) • Users using the technologies

  12. Evaluate the usability and usefulness of the technologies and services • Do people really use these tools? • Yes, but... • Need to be intuitive. • Need to to be clear and simple. • Need to be useful to the end user. • Need feedback from the 'other' end user • Needs to evolve

  13. Current State • Prototype service bus developed • allows the smooth and seamless transfer of data between end users • allows the use of multiple access platforms, mobile phones, PCs, potentially any internet enabled device • Privacy sensitive locator • City Laboratory Testbeds • Prototype services deployed • Traffic locator • Citizen consultations • Accessibility audit

  14. Dissemination • Real world project • Driven by needs of both cities and citizens • Large investment of public money • Requires that people outside the project get to hear about it. • Who needs to hear about it • City Administrations • Citizen groups • Companies • Others

  15. Open and Accessible • Open Source Development • ILC, Urban Mediator, IISYS • Open Standards • XMPP (iMessenger), X3D (ICING 3D), WMS (iSmart) • Open Frameworks • ICING Service Bus (Apache Service Mix)

  16. Roadmap for the exploitation of results • Commercial interest already (SiteSMS) • Public interest (MEPs, ) • EEIG/Cooperation Agreements • 'Open' Consortium extension
