[Sule Yildirim Yayilgan]

Dear all,


We are organising two workshops at the Phealth2011 conference, that might be of interest to the community here. Titled "European Projects: Lessons Learnt" Workshop and "A Personalised Travel Companion" for pHealth 2011, we would like to invite you to Lyon, France between 29th June - 1st july. Please also find the provisional program in the attachment.

Best regards,

Phealth 2011 - 29 June- 1 st June Lyon, France

Organised since 2003 with the support of the EU's Microsystems and ICT for Health units, the personalised health forum seeks to identify and address the key challenges to successful "pHealth" provision, challenges which may hinder the commercialisation and clinical uptake of viable healthcare solutions. This is achieved through the strategic bringing together (largely by invitation) of key players in the healthcare provision chain - researchers, industrialists, medical doctors, hospital administrators, healthcare policy makers and other interested bodies. The pHealth event is therefore not just another conference but rather a forum for interaction, discussion and action.

As the title may say, the special session within the pHealth 2011 program aims at summarising some of the most important lessons learned from previous and currently running projects in the domain of AAL, e-Inclusion, and neighbouring domains Thanks for your consideration for attending it.

"European Projects: Lessons Learnt" Workshop for pHealth 2011



»The Personalized Ambient Intelligent Travel Companion Approach« - PAMIT.com project



In today's society, persons with certain limitations, including elderly, have the same right of taking part in everyday life. However, they are at risk of being excluded because today's ICT solutions do not sufficiently (if at all) address the needs of all people including those with limitations. Therefore, the need has been identified for developing services supporting people with impairments while travelling for medical reasons, work, social contacts, daily outdoor life activities etc. A user-centric approach must be adopted with active end-user participation. The PAMIT.com project aims at exactly doing this.

A system will be developed supporting three phases: (1) plan journeys and book tickets, (2) while travelling; and (3) after the travel. The system aims at reflecting a highly personalized user experience in these phases as the system will use information and preferences stored in dynamic context-dependent user profiles. Users may actively specify and update their preferences and the system may also suggest updates based on user's behaviour while booking and travelling, and finally also giving the person the opportunity to provide feed-back after the travelling for amending the travel experience in future travels. The preferences will also depend on, and address, environmental conditions such as weather conditions, late arrivals affecting connections, rerouting, etc. Relevant information (e.g. time of the entire journey, time for changing between transport means, the degree of accessibility) will be collected during travel for planning future travel, if the user wishes. The project addresses requirements of people with impairments including specific social and societal inclusion measures. The system will also support people who wish to travel together (the entire journey or only partly) and/or arrive at the same time to the same place. While travelling, the system needs to frequently optimize the travel based on the each user's preferences, as if only one person's needs cannot be met, all others are affected. Sharing of data between people who wish to communicate and collaborate in the aforementioned three phases will actively be supported while respecting the users' preferences on information sharing. The scenarios selected for testing the system require a range of services covering outdoor support and surveillance aspects including ethics, privacy as well as legal and safety requirements.



The innovative system architecture approach goes far beyond the current state-of-the-art and is based on the Generic Component Model. The development activities will include the harmonization of existing specialized reference architectures in relation to the multi-domain reference architecture, the existing and emerging reference ontology built on that architecture, the application of the Reference Model Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) and the Unified Process (UP). The developed architecture allows for generating agent based applications at runtime taking into account user preferences, the situation in which the users find themselves as well as the context, and legacy systems like social media and information systems of travel providers.
