The research centre AASS arranges a seminar with Marjan Alirezaie, Jennifer Renoux, Uwe Köckemann and Amy Loutfi from AASS, Örebro University

Abstract

E-care@Home is a Swedish interdisciplinary distributed research environment that pulls together competences in Artificial Intelligence, Semantic Web, Internet of Things and Sensors for Health. This research environment explores the current vision in the area of ICT-supported independent living of the elderly which involves populating the home with connected electronic devices (^ things^ ) such as sensors and actuators and linking them to the Internet. Creating such an Internet-of-Things infrastructure (IoT) is done with the ambition to provide automated information gathering and processing on top of which e-services for the elderly residing in their homes can be built hence, E-care@home.

The distributed environment is funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation and is led by AASS. It involves research groups from the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) and M lardalen University. Within AASS, Ecare@home integrates themes in the MPI and CRS lab that include context recognition and configuration planning. In this seminar a subset of the members will present the concept, the goals and the methods of Ecare@home, and discuss the role of AASS in this initiative.
