pervasive communication
at a workshop in Brussels on 29 June 2006
Daidalos addresses the fact that mobility has become a central aspect of our lives in business, education, and leisure. It deals with rapid technological and societal changes with proliferating technologies and services that have resulted in complex and confusing communications environments for users and network operators. By rethinking fundamental technology and business issues, Daidalos has targeted usable and manageable communication infrastructures for the future. The goal is a seamless, pervasive access to content and services via heterogeneous networks that supports user preferences and context. The project has used a user-centred, scenario-based and operator-driven approach to effectively cover user and business needs.
The focus of the workshop will be on three main areas:
- Security and privacy, including privacy and identity management
- Pervasive service concepts in mobile environments, and
- Automotive scenarios including car-to-car communication
Experts from Deutsche Telekom, Telefónica, Telenor, IBM,
BMW, and leading academic institutions will present their findings.
