Recent Projects
Intelligent Energy Management: Significant evidence supports the assumption that distributed generation and micro source of power will gain in importance in the future electrical system. Utility players are also realizing the economical benefits of considering loads at the point of end-use as a distributed resource in itself (i.e. demand response). This should result in a greater need for fine monitoring and control of heterogeneous intelligent electrical devices distributed on grids (loads, generators and batteries with various properties and parameters), and for IT application to coordinate them in a secure, efficient, economical and transparent manner. The objective of the intelligent energy management project is to understand which of these applications hold the most potential for our clients and to build corresponding proof-of-concept prototypes. Connective Tables: Because the elderly
gradually lose their ability to visit remote places and people, aging
populations in western countries will certainly create a strong demand for
technologies allowing them to stay in touch with society from their homes in a
natural and immersive way. The Connective Tables project is one example of such
technologies. It consists of a table augmented with sensory and display
capabilities that allows the elderly to participate in social activities as if
their remote interlocutors were sitting around the table next to them. Activity Monitoring: With cheap sensors
such as cameras distributed around the house, and relatively basic
intelligence, it is possible to continuously trace the occupants, to understand
their actions and derive important information about their health and
well-being. This project explores the potential of using camera-based tracking
technologies with an older person at home to improve their quality of life and
help their family and caregivers provide better care and services. Instant Knowledge Brokerage: Can we
mine people's Internet surfing profiles for clues that they share interests?
Can we connect people and build communities using these clues?
GeneSphere:
A framework and interface to integrate and encapsulate data, tools, and
processes related to functional-genomic activities.
