Added Value Access to New Technologies and services on the Internet

Objetivo

The primary aim of the AVANTI project is to encourage inclusion in the information society of those people who cannot or think they do not want to be involved by developing an intelligent assistant, which can take over the interface to Internet services. Barriers to use such as language, disability and fear of technology will be addressed. Tailored authentication and security devices will support ease of access, and ensure integrity of information. Services will be provided 24 hours a day, accessible from home, work or on the move. Professional researchers, psychologists, the community, industry and a range of service providers will help us improve information presentation. An architecture and associated toolkits will be proved that can be used by cities and businesses across Europe. They will be state of the art, open to refinement and receptive to other beneficial technologies. Exploitation plans will include proposals for developing the project further through clustering.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
With inclusion in mind key service areas have been identified, targeted at those groups in society who are in most need of support. City user groups will then inform the proposed developments including the application systems and the Exploitation Plan. The focus will be on the ease of access for the interface and quality and presentation of material in terms of usefulness, ease of understanding and completeness. Access to a range of electronic services to include transactional and interactive elements will be included. Experts in business analysis, marketing, socio-psychological issues and special needs will develop pilot services, which are attractive to users. The industrial partners led by trans-european industrial partner ICL will develop the Avatar (the intelligent assistant), design and develop the underpinning architecture and technology base, set the technical standards and ensure the technological delivery of the pilot. A key role of this team will be to continuously monitor technological developments in the market as well as establishing contacts and links with other IST projects, developed and under development, to enable possible concentration and further development through clustering. All partners have already carried out much investigatory work in the targeted field of this project. AVANTI concerns five application areas: Administration, Health and social care, Leisure and Recreation, Continuous learning and training, Economy and Employment. London will co-ordinate the project assisted and supported by ICL leading the technical board. User requirement analysis will be led by Kista (Sweden). Edinburgh will lead on the demonstration activities and ICL and Microsoft will lead jointly on the Exploitation and Business plan. The Camuno consortium will have delivery of training as a special module.
