Project description Internet of Services, Software & virtualisation Show the project objective Hide the project objective Pervasive systems aim to seamlessly and unobtrusively enable individual users to interact with devices, networks and services in their vicinity. Until now their focus has been on the individual rather than on communities of users. This neglects an important part of human behaviour; socialising, and might partly explain the slow take-up of pervasiveness in commercial products. Social computing, on the other hand, has enjoyed meteoric success in bringing people together online. Products in this area, however, do not integrate well with any but a few of the many devices and services to which their users have access. The time is ripe for these two paradigms to converge.The vision of SOCIETIES is to develop a complete integrated solution via a Community Smart Space (CSS) which extends pervasive systems beyond the individual to dynamic communities of users. CSSs will embrace online community services, such as Social Networking, and thus offer new and powerful ways of working, communicating and socialising.The goal of SOCIETIES is to radically improve the utility of future Internet services by merging social computing and pervasive computing through the design, implementation and evaluation of an open, scalable service architecture and platform for self-orchestrating Community Smart Spaces. This will be achieved through four key objectives:-To facilitate the creation, organisation, management and communication of communities via Community Smart Spaces, where pervasive computing is integrated with social computing communities-To provide an enhanced user experience - both for individuals and entire user communities - based on proactive smart space behaviour and dynamic sharing of community resources across geographic boundaries-To design and prototype a robust open and scalable system for self-orchestrating Community Smart Spaces-To evaluate, through strong involvement of end-users, the usefulness and acceptance of the developed CSS software via three user trials Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternet Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2009.1.2 - Internet of Services, Software and Virtualisation Call for proposal FP7-ICT-2009-5 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator WATERFORD INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY EU contribution € 1 963 030,00 Address CORK ROAD X91 Waterford Ireland See on map Region Ireland Eastern and Midland Dublin Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Kevin Doolin (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all DEUTSCHES ZENTRUM FUR LUFT - UND RAUMFAHRT EV Germany EU contribution € 685 358,00 Address LINDER HOHE 51147 Koln See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Köln Köln, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Frank Gudat (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data TRIALOG France EU contribution € 781 909,00 Address 25 RUE DU GENERAL FOY 75008 Paris See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Bruno Jean-Bart (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data INSTITUT MINES-TELECOM France EU contribution € 566 000,00 Address 19 PLACE MARGUERITE PEREY 91120 Palaiseau See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Essonne Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Patricia RETROU (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data AMITEC DIAXITI EFIIA PLIROFORIKI &EPIKINONIES EPE AMITEC Greece EU contribution € 371 400,00 Address SAMOU STREET 26 12243 ATHINA See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Stavros Xynogalas (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data EREVNITIKO PANEPISTIMIAKO INSTITOUTO SYSTIMATON EPIKOINONION KAI YPOLOGISTON Greece EU contribution € 970 578,00 Address PATISION 42 106 82 ATHINA See on map Region Αττική Aττική Κεντρικός Τομέας Αθηνών Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Ioanna Roussaki (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data INTEL RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IRELAND LIMITED Ireland EU contribution € 727 230,00 Address COLLINSTOWN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE .
