TMT Factory’s future approaches and research

Ubiquitous and context-aware systems

Personalized recommendations on-real time

Interoperable devices and protocols

Conclusions

Would users interact with ICDs in public spaces such

as streets, bus shelters, airports, etc.?

Barcelona ICD’s statistics (2008)

Which kind of devices should interact with ICDs?

Mobile phones, netbooks, etc.

What protocols should interoperate with the ICDs’

services?

HTTP, SSL, UCH, semantics, etc.

How could we resolve the privacy and ethics issues

related with showing “private” information in

public spaces?

Depending of the context:e.g. mobile access to the private content.

Should the accessible technologies be embedded

in every ICD?

Mobile: user configuration, privacy, noisy street, etc.ICD: bigger interface (e.g. sign language avatar)
