GRIPS Project Objective Allow a variety of
information sources to potentially trigger
execution of a crisis-management interaction
workflow when critical data is detected. GriSys
will combine GRID, P2P, mobile and Agent
Technologies, together with Semantic Web and
mobile communications, to realise a framework
that is distributed, real-time, stable,
autonomous, with some intelligence and adaptable,
without the need for external re-programming,re-co
nfiguring, or re-adjusting. It will communicate
and co-operate with people or each other, based
on a wellgrounded understanding of the objects,
events and processes in their environment, and
their own situation, competences and knowledge.
Work will result in demonstrator that operate
largely autonomously in demanding and open-ended
environments which call for a suitable mix of
capabilities for sensing, data analysis,
processing, control and acting and for
communication and co-operation with people or
machines or both. It could be integrated
high-level cognitive competencies for example,
for reasoning, planning and decision-making, and
for active environmental modelling. Main Tasks
Interpersonal communication tasks providing
personalised interactivity in real-world and
virtual environments, based on improved human
interaction modelling and understanding of
contextually-referred communication, through
autonomous adaptation by addressing user needs
and intentions. Real-time requirements and
systems modularity. Expected result  Grid-P2P
enabled stable crisis interaction System

AmICriM (Ambient Intelligence for Crisis
Mgmt) Project Objective The AmICriM project aims
at providing the models needed to design
distributed embedded applications on electronic
devices. The general idea of Ambient Intelligence
(AmI) is to have multiple heterogeneous, mobile
or embedded, electronic devices throughout the
environment interacting dynamically so as to
satisfy the needs of the users evolving in it,
such as providing valuable information
proactively in situations of crisis. Main Tasks
Development of new intelligent services for
helping in crisis management situations (e.g.
guidance to the nearest exit of a building in
case of fire).Specification and requirements for
the integration of intelligent services in the
infrastructure Expected result This project will
lead to new services for helping in crisis
situations that are supported by the tools for
designing devices in Ambient Intelligent
environments. Those dynamic and adaptive services
and new applications rely on the interoperability
of complex systems composed of AmID (Ambient
Intelligence Devices).
