This joint workshop of the European projects Cloud4All and UniversAAL will present and discuss current technologies and solutions being developed for personalised user interfaces in AAL. This workshop is open to the public, in particular to members of the AAL Open Association (AALOA).
UniversAAL has published a series of reference use cases for Ambient Assistive Living (http://www.universaal.org). These use cases include situations in which a user interface adapts itself to the user and their needs and preferences. While UniversAAL has developed a broad technical framework for AAL services and user interfaces, the topic of personalization and user preference profiles has only been marginally addressed in this project. The Cloud4All project is currently devising a common format and semantics of a personal needs & preferences (PNP) profile, which is supposed to be standardized as ISO/IEC 24751. The workshop will provide opportunities for the discussion of how the currently existing technologies and the emerging user PNP profile could be employed in AAL use cases and scenarios.
It is expected that the workshop will generate a roadmap for future development and standardization work, in the two projects and beyond. This may include possible cooperative actions of these projects and beyond.
Goals of the workshop;
• Inform each other and the community about technical frameworks being currently developed
• Identify potential cross-project cooperation and reuse of technologies
• Learn about the emerging user PNP profile standard
• Discuss possible technical solutions for personalized user interfaces in AAL

Preliminary program

• Introduction of topics to be discussed (Antonio Kung)
  • What is the process of designing personal user interfaces in each project?  Is it attractive enough to be adopted by the AAL market?
  • Do the two projects have competitive or complementary approaches?
  • Could universAAL’s AAL service framework be used in Cloud4All?
  • Could Cloud4All’s personal needs and preferences approach be used in universAAL?

Including a smarthome simulation demo (Christophe Strobbe)
