SMARCOS in Artemis Magazine
[DECEMBER, 2011]
Publication date 2011/12/22
The last issue of the ARTEMIS Magazine, DECEMBER 2011 No.11, has a wide article reporting on the second ARTEMIS Technology Conference 2011. This public and open event, organized by the ARTEMIS-JU Call 2008 SOFIA project, was hosted and co-organized by the University of Bologna and INDRA Sistemas S.A.
The article stresses the event achieved objective, which was to provide public visibility over technical aspects raised and solved by ARTEMIS partners and increase R&D results' effectiveness. The focus of the three reporting ARTEMIS projects, SOFIA, SMARCOS & CHIRON was on cross-domain technology and tool development. These developments address to various application domains relating to ARTEMIS-JU industrial priorities such as Smart environments, Healthcare systems, Human-centered design of embedded systems.
The ARTEMIS Magazine emphasizes on the valuable chance of presenting the SMARCOS results to an international audience of colleagues working in the same field as well as the importance of getting critical feedback on the presented ideas and to network with people who share similar interests.
The use of SOFIA platform in SMARCOS, also highlighted within the article, to create a knowledge model that is shared by all of the devices applied in office workers and diabetes patients’ daily life (from laptops, mobile phones to pills dispensers, activity monitors or televisions). Knowledge Processors (KPs) are used to make possible the knowledge sharing, even though the data format of every device may be different.

Multiproject collaboration: SOFIA –CHIRON - SMARCOS
[DECEMBER, 2011]
Publication date 2011/12/05
ARTEMIS projects SMARCOS and CHIRON have had a successful project collaboration with SOFIA, implementing the resulting project technologies in some of their use cases. SMARCOS has applied SOFIA technology on its Attentive Personal Systems by PHILIPS & Complex Systems Control (Collaborative Synergy-Navigation System) by INDRA.
SOFIA is applied to the two use cases mentioned adding the possibility of multi-platform connection of events by broadcasting semantic information, the SOFIA architecture is based mainly on:
  • SIB (Semantic Information Broker)
  • KP (Knowledge Processor)
  • SSAP (Smart Space Access Protocol)

SMARCOS Complex Systems Control Demos
Publication date 2011/03/30
Smarcos is putting a great effort to develop tools facilitating control of complex systems and perform their validation with end-users. A number of different but complementary HCI application domains are set up within the complex systems control sector:
  • Monitoring and control Domain – Barco features through this domain the possibility to have multiple users interacting with the same interface from different devices, (e.g. several operators in a Control Room looking at the display wall).
  • Physically disabled people Domain – Intecs is working towards creating a system for mobile phones that should allow Visual Impaired people to use their devices, interact with wireless services and extract useful information from items through QR codes printed on them.
  • Aviation Domain - This domain, explored by Honeywell, is concerned with a large set of different user interfaces for pilot assistance systems. The first version of the GUI for main anchor of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), describes in detail the three main areas (System, application and function menus) and the elements composing each one.
  • Vehicles´ Domain - INDRA searches the challenges associated to P2P communication to permit real-time exchange of information between mobile telephones embedded in moving vehicles, allowing the early detection of events without needing to synchronize information with remote servers.

In order to support this work a set of demos has been produced to demonstrate the HCI application domains, some of them are now available through the following links:
