Project Summary

Development of a user centric ambient communication environment. The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate the novel concept of the Personal Network (PN), which is a distributed personal environment consisting of clusters of geographically dispersed devices that dynamically changes according to the context and needs of the user. Preparing and running a real-life pilot once a year, starting from the first year of the project, will provide a unique insight and feedback in the technical, business and user-related issues associated with the introduction of PN. A distinctive element of this project is the investigation, development and demonstration of the concept of a Personal Network Gateway, an important enabling factor for the incorporation of the Personal Area Network into a fully functional PN. As important will be a Mobility Provider platform that provides an operational environment to manage user, service and network related issues. The main results foreseen by the project are in the field of network architectures and protocols, security, biometric authentication, mobility management and user aspects. Developing an automated and context sensitive concept is a challenging research task, but it has a strong industrial potential, since it would bring in the possibility to build a whole new class of applications, services and devices.
