Developments of Ambient Intelligence in 2007
 Session 1: Design & Development of AmI Systems
This session deals with the challenges related to the development of AmI systems. Some of these challenges are related to the distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic and unpredictable nature of AmI Scenarios.
Moreover, developers of AmI systems are also faced with important security and dependability requirements that must be met in an ever-changing and distributed environment.
" Towards a Model Driven Development of Context-aware Systems for AmI Environments
Estefania Serral (speaker), Pedro Valderas, Javier Munoz, Vicente Pelechado - Technical University of Valencia, Spain
" Modeling Decentralized Information Flow in Ambient Environments
Jurriaan van Diggelen (speaker), Robert-Jan Beun, Rogier M. van Eijk, Peter J. Werkhoven - Institute of Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
" Abstracting connection volatility through tagged futures
Johan Fabry, Carlos Noguera (speaker) - INRIA Futurs -LIFL, ADAM Team France
Architecture and Design Patterns for Ambient Intelligence: an Industry Perspective
Antonio Kung - Trialog
Session 2: Context Information
The intrinsic unpredictability of AmI ecosystems requires that applications and systems are able to dynamically react to context changes. In this setting context management becomes a key element for the success of the AmI concept. This session will explore the ability to obtain information about the context and to exploit it in AmI applications.

and platforms present: |
"EuroTRUST AmI '07"
European Research towards Trusted Ambient Intelligence
through 2 workshops :
"COOPERATION" - Sept 17-18 and
"IN PROGRESS" - Sept 18-19
Proposed by the Serenity integrated project along with 27 other European projects and platforms, EuroTRUSTAmI aims at providing a comprehensive vision of the European Research focused on the Projects that deal with advancing the AmI vision and providing secure and dependable computing environments in a context of open, heterogeneous and dynamic networks. Several research projects funded by the European Commission have already started to work towards the realization of secure ambient intelligence ecosystems from different perspectives and focusing on different technical aspects of the aforementioned problems.
The EuroTRUSTAmI workshops provide a comprehensive and rigorous insight into these problems at 2 levels:
" Cooperative issues by fostering synergies, identifying connections and collaboration avenues, between the European projects invited and other external interested parties . This is EuroTRUSTAmI COOPERATION Workshop" on Sept 17 afternoon - Sept 18 morning.

Session 3: Security of AmI
Providing security and dependability in today's highly interconnected networks is already considered a crucial aspect and represents a big challenge. But future AmI ecosystems will combine a set of characteristics that will make the provision of security and dependability
even more challenging and at the same time will impose even higher expectations for security and dependability. In consequence, this session will focus on the provision of security and dependability in the future AmI ecosystems.
" Secure Profiling as a Cornerstone in Emerging Ambient Intelligence Scenarios

Session 4: Agents and AmI
Agent-systems, and in particular multi-agent systems, can bring important benefits especially in application areas where highly distributed, autonomous, intelligent, self organizing and robust systems are required. Furthermore, the high levels of autonomy and self-organization of agent systems provide excellent support for the development of systems in which dependability is essential.
Ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence scenarios belong to this category. In this session we will see what benefits can agent technologies bring in AmI.

"CYBER-SECURITY EUROPE/USA:
MEET THE PATHFINDERS OF OUR FUTURE"
Panel debate
|
Introduction: Transatlantic bridge to global issue
Beyond today's organisations' firewalls and individuals' e-passports Cyber-security is and will be global, it is a pre-requisite for a healthy expansion of the Information society.
No doubt, cooperation at the R&D level between Europe and the USA is a natural step towards a common global approach in Cyber-security, based on the sharing of common roadmaps and visions, but also on the recognition and acceptance of distinctive cultural, social and ethical particularities or views.
Through this exciting panel you will meet with some of the most renowned researchers on both sides of the Atlantic and have the opportunity to discover and discuss how they envision our future.
Moderated by Jacques Bus, Head of the Security Research Unit at the European Commission's Information Society and Media DG, the debate will run along 4 strands:
The debate will run along 4 strands:
1. Protecting future large polymorphic networked infrastructures
From architecture and design, to scalability, context-awareness, and dynamic management policies, many themes affect the security of our future networked systems mixing various types of infrastructures and based on a service-centric computing model.
This first technology angle of the panel opens promising cooperation prospects, although perceptions, analysis and priorities may vary between partners.
Donald A. Purdy, President of DRA Enterprises and former acting Director of the National Cyber Security Division in the Department of Homeland Security (US), will present the US approach and research activities and elaborate on potential cooperation between the US and the EU.
Michel Riguidel, Head of Computer Science and Networks Department (ENST. FR), will present and explain the European perception and objectives and how they compare with the US ones.
2. Cyber-crime, the dark scenario
This scenario offers provocative glimpses of a future that can (but need not) be realised. The scenario, elaborated in the SWAMI project led by the EC Joint Research Centre IPTS, is dark because it includes applications that go wrong or do not work as expected. It deals with such issues as privacy, security, identity, trust, loss of control & and it highlights risks and vulnerabilities such as surveillance, ID theft, malicious attacks, digital divide& It will be presented and discussed by one of its co-authors: David Wright of Trilateral Research & Consulting (UK).
3. "Smart Security" a holistic approach to cyber-security and trusted services
In a complex networked service-oriented world the old style security mechanisms do not work anymore. Going back to fundamentals of our society, we must ensure our democratic freedom and prosperity, whilst protecting our citizens against crime, terrorism and loss of privacy. For that, we have to move the thinking from a fragmented world that traces and tracks everything, to a new global approach that uses technology in a smart way, based on building trust mechanisms and services, transparent judiciary control, and efficient use of technology tools for discovering crime, enforcing law, and protecting civilians against crime and terrorism.
Our European and American speakers will cover in this matter complementary topics revealing thus differences of view points and opening the debate.
For Europe it will focus on "Cybersecurity at home": how Philips is approaching this AmI eco-system project. The speaker will be Willem Jonker, Head of the Division of Digital Life Style at Philips Research and professor at Univ. of Twente (NL).
For the USA, the topic will be "Cyber-security between society and individual demands and expectations". It will be covered by Pradeep K. Khosla, Dean and Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (incl. CyLab) at Carnegie-Mellon University (US).
4. From vision to reality: paving the way through standardisation and interoperability
Standardisation and interoperability are the pre-requisites for building a global approach of future Cyber- security.
Charles Brookson, in charge of security both at ETSI and the GSM Association will explain what are the most efficient ways and processes to build global standardisation and interoperability of Cyber-Security and what will be its next steps.
