Participation of end users in the design of assistive technology for people with mild to severe cognitive problems; The European Rosetta project

Background: In the European Rosetta project three separate, previously developed, ICT systems were improved and integrated to create one modular system that helps community-dwelling people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia in different stages of the disease. The system aims to support them in daily functioning, monitor (deviations from...

Functional requirements for assistive technology for people with cognitive impairments and dementia

The amount of technological aids on the market to support people in their everyday functioning is increasing. For example mobile telephone, electronic diary, skyping and domotics. Many of these aids are too complicated to operate for people with cognitive impairments, like dementia. For technology to be practicable and useful for them, it will...

Service discovery in heterogeneous wireless networks

In this paper we describe a possible solution to the problem of service discovery in heterogeneous wireless networks. This solution involves introduction of a network independent service discovery layer, with as main goal the improved robustness of applications running on top of it. A possible implementation, based on special usage of the JINI...

Volgende generatie bewakingssysteem voor toepassing in huisomgeving

Sinds kort loopt er bij drie TNO-instituten een onderzoeks- en ontwikkelingsproject gericht op het praktisch toepasbaar maken van een automatisch bewakingssysteem (UAS) voor toepassing in een huiselijke omgeving. Tijdens dit project zal een proefmodel worden gebouwd waarin meerdere bewakingsfuncties integraal zijn ondergebracht. Dit proefmodel...

Automatic SIMD parallelization of embedded applications based on pattern recognition

This paper investigates the potential for automatic mapping of typical embedded applications to architectures with multimedia instruction set extensions. For this purpose a (pattern matching based) code transformation engine is used, which involves a three-step process of matching, condition checking and replacing of the source code. Experiments...
