Some literature search has been done to identify the researches that, at least in a certain level, have focused on this problem of service continuity. To name few: UniversAAL, Uranus, CASAS (in certain extend), UbiSMART and CocaMAAL. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Due to the large number of AAL Service Platforms proposed along the years and the lack of wide-accept terminology for continuous assistance, I might have missed some important project in that field. So, do you know any research project focus on exploring the concept of continuous assistance presented above? </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">By the way, currently, I'm designing a study to analyse how some AAL Service Platforms address this vision of continuous assistance. But, I have not decided which AAL Service Platform should be included in that study.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please find attached a short research statement. Feel free to contact me, your feedback is really valuable. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Joao Bentes</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></body></html>
