Objetivo
The aim of e-SENSE is to enable 'Ambient Intelligence' in 'Beyond-3G Systems', i.e. using wireless multi-sensor networks for making context-rich information (e.g. about the user, his/her social setting, or the environment) available to applications and services. While today's information systems require cumbersome human input or computer-generated data, future systems will be built on continuous streams of real-world physical data provided by numerous sensors linked together.
They will perform their tasks in an unobtrusive and intelligent way enhancing the user experience, gathering refined and accurate data, simplifying tasks, increasing communication efficiency and enabling a plethora of novel applications and services and thus increasing the usability, efficiency and value of day to day life as well as business and scientific achievements. The envisaged e-SENSE architecture has the capability to observe and interact with physical phenomena in real time, and with a fidelity that was previously unobtainable.
To achieve this goal, an expert consortium of 24 partners has been assembled: 8 industrial partners (including 1 operator (Telefonica) and 6 major industrial companies (IBM, Fujitsu UK, Philips, Mitsubishi France, Thales UK and EADS) with a strong research history in sensor-based networking, processing and computing and 1 management company (ALMA)), 2 SMEs (HFC, Ambient Systems) with expertise in body sensors, human factors, and sensor-data processing, 4 research institutes (CEA, IMEC, CSEM, FhG Fokus) with expertise in low power air-interfaces and sensor-network architecture and 10 academic institutions (including some of the major European Universities in sensor research: UniS, AAU, Aegean, CFR(consortium of Italian universities), TUD, ETHZ, KCL, UO, UT, and UPMF).
The total EU grant of e-SENSE is 6,300,000 Euro, whereas the total cost of the project is approximately 10,000,000 Euro.
