The SOFIA project is building new innovative applications and services for every-day working and living environments, by making “physical world information” easily available for smart services - connecting the physical world with the information world. SOFIA is a three-year ARTEMIS project involving eighteen partners from four EU countries. The common target is to enable and maintain cross-industry interoperability, to
foster innovation while ensuring the value of existing legacy, as well as creating new user inter- action and interface concepts to enable users to benefit from smart environments. Moreover, a promising SOFIA Community for developers is growing up and will continue this vision beyond the SOFIA project. The project outcomes bring new smart environment applications and services in the
context of Smart City, Smart Indoor Spaces and Personal Spaces. A set of seven large scale pilots across four different locations in Europe, will publicly exhibit SOFIA´s technologies great benefits during 2011. This brochure contains general information about the SOFIA pilots set, making special emphasis on the applied tecno-logies and associated benefits.
The SOFIA set of pilots integrates and demonstrates project results in practice with live activities, across four
different countries in Europe: Spain (Madrid), Finland( Helsinki & Oulu), Italy (Bologna), The Netherlands (Eindhoven).
These pilots show the complete set of SOFIA solutions around smart environment applications and
services in the contexts of Smart City, Smart Indoor Spaces & Personal Spaces.

SOFIA R&D project (100017) is partially financed by ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (TEKES), the Spanish Ministry of Industry,
Tourism and Trade (MITYC), the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands (Agentschap NL) and the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
MEDIA FOLLOWS USER
A mobile user is able to seamlessly consume a particular media from different devices while moving around different locations and use the resources of each personal environment. For instance, the user at home may be listening to a particular radio channel or music recording. The user leaves home and plugs mobile phone’s earpieces, and automatically the media starts to play on this new device. Then, when entering the car, the car´s stereos continue to play the same radio channel or music track. The user will have a more pleasant experience, since there is no time
wasted on adjusting devices in new environments to start playing a particular media. When an important message, SMS or Twitter feed, is received while music is playing, the device pauses as the message content is read out. Music is set to resume playing after the message is ended. Another smart device is simultane-ously running the navigation application. Car facilities, such as voice commands and steering wheel buttons, have then to be shared also not only for the controlling of the navigation, but also as a mechanism to query and define location based information.

BENEFITS The value for the user is summarized in the notion
that the user always has the best resources available
for particular tasks in Personal domain
The value for the manufacturers is to be able to
efficiently build multiple and diverse use cases over
existing infrastructures, which can currently be easily
benefited from as well as in the future
The selected use cases provide the possibility to
show how contentions of resources within personal
environments are managed, while different
applications (media player, navigation, SMS, Twitter
feed) are simultaneously running
Reference point: The SOFIA software development community to be generated around this portal will be a proved leading exam-ple, not only for the embedded systems development sector but also for the general purpose. The SOFIA Community includes all the facilities to communicate, generate and finally, evolve by itself!
The SOFIA Community crew will host projects around four general technical groups:
1. Ontology: Everything related with the definition of domains and the ontologies used will be covered by this
group.
2. ADK: The focus of this group is on generating the necessary tools.
3. Core: The core group is the base implementation of any Smart Space based on SOFIA. There are several
implementations for different operating systems, programming languages and transport protocols.
4. Architecture: This group is responsible for the design of the SOFIA architecture, protocols and standards.
The SOFIA Community has already been promoted within both, the Eclipse Foundation and PROMETEO (Spanish Technological Platform for Embedded Systems), and it currently in contact with manufactures and distributors of devices, (e.g. sensors) operating within Smart Environments in order to incorporate SOFIA technology within its products by default. It is relevant to mention that during the project lifetime, other ARTEMIS projects have already benefited by utilizing the results SOFIA has made available. European projects such as SMARCOS (Smart Composite Human-Computer Inter-faces) & CHIRON (Cyclic and person-centric Health management) are already using the SOFIA platform and tools. This Community is backed up by the ARTEMIS-JU recognition, as SOFIA project has been awarded twice as best ARTEMIS Embedded Systems project, 2009 and 2010.

SOFIA looks forward to a lively community of players in the embedded systems area, who will extend SOFIA technology and adopt it as a novel way of enriching their solutions.
SOFIA COMMUNITY SMART BUILDING MAINTENANCE
SOFIA project has met all its desired objectives: a viable reference archi-tecture applicable to many scenarios, the development and implementation of a framework suited to any domain and user interactions methods for all types of friendly environments. In order to ensure the maintenance and update of the SOFIA technology life cycle after December 2011, the project is already working on the growth of its outcomes by creating the SOFIA Community based on its findings and added value.
This added value could be resumed by the following factors:
Introduction of a channel for providing digital services in physical locations through different devices
Extension of both, functionality and services, provided by existing and new products
In long term, evolve an informa-tion based service development, aggregate information
Having been born under this wide and rich background, the SOFIA Community offers the project outcomes and smart open source applications for developers as well as for end-users. This Community is willing to mobilize developers from various domains beyond the project, who will have access to the common application development framework, which has proven to be scalable and flexible for any domain.
SOFIA is seeking for a Community to last after the project is finished, willing to build on the project
findings. Therefore, the following characteristics are vital for the future of this Community.
Multi-Domain The aim of the project is to be useful for any domain, so if your domain is not already included, propose new ones. The more the merrier.
BENEFITS
In the domain of Facility Manage-ment, Smart Maintenance is a novel concept to approach complex building management when multiple actors (maintenance company, operators, clients and tenants) and multiple technologies are involved, interacting with the environment and providing new services. This pilot was designed by CCC -Italian Consortium of Construction Companies, EUROTECH, and the University of Bologna with the contribution of CONANTE, NXP and VTT.
The pilot is deployed inside the Municipality of Bologna, a large complex of three office buildings, equipped with multiple devices (including WSN, mobile and wearable devices, RFIDs, Smart Lights and LumEn-Active), innovative technologies and
SOFIA Platform, that together implement a Smart Indoor Space.
The pilot shows how a WSN infrastructure in an indoor space may detect anomalous conditions and trigger an alert to a building maintenance company which publishes in real time, after a human mediation, a call for intervention to mobile maintenance operators. Operators may accept the task via their mobile device and may be supported during their maintenance intervention activities. The mainte-nance company monitors the building status, manages the inter-vention and supervises all the process activities, while office tenants and visitors are automatically informed about the existence of a maintenance intervention, and the availability of spaces and services.
PROVIDED SERVICES Automatic fault detection
Fault notification to multiple actors (operators, office tenants,
maintenance companies)
Intervention request to selected
maintenance operators
Support for maintenance operator’s activities on the field (intervention acceptance, intervention management, spaces deciphering, faulty entity
identification, etc.)
Support for maintenance
company process flow control
Maintenance operator and
maintenance activities logging
Supervision of the entire
maintenance process
TECHNOLOGIES Multi-Language We are developing in serveral programming languages: C, C ++, C#, J2SE, J2ME for several platforms. We would like to have an implementation of SOFIA for each one.
Open Source We do not want to wall up technology. All the results coming from this community are open sour-ce. Collaborate, and help us improving our results.
Multi-Platform Are you programming for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, TinyOS? Probably your platform is already targeted in the project. If not, please collaborate to include yours.
Communication Agnostic Whether your device communicates by Bluetooh, ZigBee, tcp/ip, … it is not an issue. The project is flexible to include new ones as plugins.
Smart Engineering/tooling One of ours goals is to develop better and faster. We are developing a SDK with several tools which help you reduce the time-to-market dramatically.

SMART MAINTENANCE ON THE MOVE
Smart maintenance on the move, is an example of European joint research in ICT, where industries from different sectors and academic institutions, cooperate to define the principles of a new class of professional services, which add value to the core business of traditionally non interacting industries. Specific to these services is the invol-vement of many actors with different profiles and the interaction with the environment. They are expected to bring in new levels of effectiveness while reducing overheads and resource requirements. This pilot was designed by NOKIA, Centro Ricerche FIAT, CCC (Italian Consortium of Construction Compa-nies) and the University of Bologna, with the contribution of Eurotech and VTT.
It shows how sensors in an office space may trigger an alert to a building maintenance company which publishes the work item to mobile maintenance operators. The operators may accept the task via mobile devices. If the operator is in a car, the task can be accepted using the car speech recognition facilities and can be driven to the location guided by the mobile device map program. The office tenants are automatically kept informed of the repair progress by SMS. This demonstrates the capability of the underlying ontology driven by the SOFIA open information framework to provide environmental centric information services and integrate functionalities of separated systems and use cases.
PROVIDED SERVICES Automatic fault detection (e.g. water presence on the floor, uncomfortable climate conditions)
Fault notification to multiple actors (operators, office tenants, maintenance companies)

TECHNOLOGIES BENEFITS
SMART HOME
Please meet Mark and Dries. When Mark and Dries arrive home, their presence is detected, and the lighting system is switched on. When they start listening to music, they think that it will be nice to have some visual lighting effects to accompany the music. Exploring the smart space, they discover that the bonding devi-ce can render these light effects. They make a connection between the music player and the family bon-ding device through the interaction tile, while at the same time the deco-rative wall-wash lights in the room automatically dim to make the bonding device stand out more. At the same time, the light pattern also starts being rendered on the remote bonding device, therefore Mark's sister SOFIA can observe the same light effects in her own house.
Now at SOFIA´s house, she gets curious after a while to learn what music Mark and Dries are listening to. She uses the spotlight navigation device to make a connection from the bonding device to the stereo. All the events in the scenario outli-ned above are enabled through the smart space. The different devices seamlessly work with one another by exchanging relevant information through the semantic information broker. One of the use cases for the bonding device is to help “empty nesters” stay in touch with their children (and grandchildren). However, the bonding device can also provide a means to connect with friends and siblings living apart, allowing them to share experiences, and stay in touch in a new way. This
is a somewhat younger group, with also slightly different usage intentions, as indicated in the use case description above.
PROVIDED SERVICES
Playback music Rendering light via smart luminaries (functional and mood lighting) Novel user interaction functionality Interaction tiles Means to control of light Ambient experiences Bonding device (to aid in the “awareness” connection between
two parties)
BENEFITS TECHNOLOGIES Smart Home pilot applies the following technologies:
Shared Information Store
SOFIA ADK SIB
Reasoning Engine
Semantic Interaction Ontology, Semantic connections
Ontology
Information Level Protocols: Smart Space Access
Protocol (SSAP)
Device manufacturers: The framework allows one device to benefit from
functionality offered by other devices, e.g. rendering of
light during music playback, activation of decorative
lights based on presence information detected by
functional lights, etc. End-users: The smart home scenario will enable users to easily
interact with various home devices, and seamlessly let
these devices work together, even if these are from
different manufacturers. In addition, it allows staying in
touch with friends and family in novel way, supporting
exchanging experiences (such as listening to music) in a
more natural way.

Anna is sleeping. She can relax because she trusts her personal smart space and home smart space that everything will be ok for her early meeting. Her personal smart space takes care of her schedule, the time she needs for getting up and be prepared ready for the trip from home to the meeting. The smart home takes care that her morning is relaxing; home automa-tion, e.g. lights and air conditioning, are set according to the state she prefers during early wake-ups. Reading and modifying the states of the home appliances require different authentication and security levels. Smart home also takes care that coffee is ready and she has morning news and meeting material ready for reading. She checks out of the home with her NFC key. The smart home checks that all appliances and devices are in safe operation modes and windows and doors are locked. If not, Anna’s personal smart space notifies the situation and asks her to reconfigure the appliances to correct states.
She leaves by car to the meeting. The car navigator informs that an accident has happened in the fastest route and proposes an alternative route. The navigator searches for free parking places nearest to the meeting place. The navigator utilizes several services for finding out free parking places. The navigator automatically selects the service that provides the fastest responses at any time. The navigator selects the car park that is closest to the meeting place with free parking slots. The navigator notifies the required driving time to Anna’s personal space that realizes that it is not possible to reach the meeting place in time. Thus, the personal space sends a message about her late arriving to the meeting participants. Anna also wants to check whom she will meet there and ask the Office Service to send a list of participants and their photos. When arriving to the meeting, Anna is well-briefed and ready for the business negotiation with new customers.

TECHNOLOGIES BENEFITS
In the Smart Video Surveillance pilot six European industries and SMEs from diverse sectors of video surveillance, system integration, networking and communications, monitoring and public advertisement devices have collaborated to define a common communication architecture and integration of services related to the surveillance and monitoring of public areas and infrastructures. Public areas are places where operators and end users live toget-her, the first ones performing their work there and the second ones spending their time in the same places for personal or social reasons. Therefore, in a smart city it will often be the case where the same devices are designed and used for differentiated services, based on the users who will be the target of the service itself. The pilot shows an occurrence of the use of the same set of devices -easily interconnected in the same heterogeneous network- which are devoted to provide services for final
users and for operators, and whose functions may be varied according to context situations, e.g. emergencies. Digital video cameras are under control of operators to detect abnormal or emergency situations, so that when one of these situations occurs, surveillance operators activate a protocol prompting verification and, if needed, emergency evacuation of the area. In the pilot, different devices of the system interact to put security operators on alert, to help users and operators evacuate the dangerous area in security, and to keep operators informed of emergency developments. The pilot -designed by Selex Elsag (former Elsag Datamat), Conante, Eurotech, INDRA, Nextworks and WMC- demonstrates how the SOFIA information open framework and the ontology designed for these scenarios allows full interoperability among different systems of monitoring and alerting within the infrastructure.
