The session will be part of the FLOSS in health care track of Med-e-Tel http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care_2011. Med-e-Tel has extended the deadline http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=call_for_abstracts for submissions until 10th of January 2011. If you would like to submit an abstract for a paper you have to submit your abstract until this deadline. It is also possible to organize a discussion session without formally submitting a paper. If you would just like to be part of this session please contact me via email (tkaro...@gmail.com mailto:tkaro...@gmail.com). *About Med-e-Tel:* Med-e-Tel is an annual event organized by the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH) http://www.isft.ne an NGO in official relation to the WHO. Med-e-Tel http://www.medetel.lu is now in it's 9th edition and attracts around 600 participants from more than 50 countries. There are also strong links to the WHO and the European Commission. Usually there is a representative of the EC at the conference. The conference itself consists of an industry exposition (telemedicine and eHealth) and an educational track. For more information you may visit the website http://www.medetel.eu. All papers and presentations from the past years are available online http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=knowledge_resourcespage=info. The FLOSS in health care track http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care was initiated this year. The track had 23 speakers, 1 keynote presentation and 1 panel discussion. Next year we will continue with the FLOSS track. Please find the call for participation here http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care_2011. Med-e-Tel is an excellent place for networking and promoting the idea of AALOA due to the mixture of both academic as well as industry representatives. Moreover it is a meeting point for FLOSS in health care advocates. So there is the opportunity to reach this community at Med-e-Tel.

Re: [aaloa supporters] Annoucing AALOA to the press during the Passau Event Nov 16th
Dear all, if you like you may add my quote as vice chair of IMIA OS WG and/or chair of EFMI LIFOSS WG: Interoperability is still one of the main challenges in health care IT. The emerging field of AAL could prevent parallel development and market fragmentation by early adoption of a collaborative development strategy. Open standards and a common framework will be a strong foundation that allow the development of a sustainable common infrastructure. FLOSS principles are well suited for the coordinated development of this infrastructure. A governing body like AALOA is a major success factor for achieving this goal. IMIA OS WG is committed to actively support AALOA in providing links to the FLOSS in health care community.

Would work for me. Best regards, Thomas Am 10.11.2010 17:32, schrieb Francesco Furfari: Hello, here a first version already reviewed by Joe. --- *A new Ambient Assisted Living community is born and wants you. * Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a new term referring to one of the most important societal challenges facing us in the coming years. Starting from the problem of population aging, AAL is about intelligent systems that use technology to provide assistance for a better, healthier and safer life in the preferred living environment. Starting in 2006, various research projects funded by the EU FP6 and FP7 research programmes have been developing ideas in this field. Seven of these projects have now joined forces and decided it is time to start a convergence process to build a consensus on the standardization of AAL systems. To do so, the projects now support the incorporation of an AAL Open Association -- known as AALOA. The mission of AALOA is to provide a shared open framework for developers, technology and service providers, research institutions and end user associations to discuss, design, develop, evaluate and standardize a common service platform for Ambient Assisted Living. The call for action is expressed in the AALOA Manifesto (http://www.aaloa.org/manifesto ), and was distributed publically for the first time in September 2010 at the AAL Forum in Odense, Denmark (http://www.aalforum.eu/). It has attracted subscriptions from more than fifty individuals coming from the academic world and industry. The first project initiated by the AALOA community is EvAAL (http://eval.aaloa.org), an international competition aimed at evaluating AAL systems and creating recognized benchmarks for the assessment of the research results in this field. AALOA invites you to join the community, and to participate in its activities: to bring fresh ideas, to propose workshops and new projects and to contribute actively to the growth of the association. For details of how to join, please visit: http://www.aaloa.org or write to i...@aaloa.org_ _ --- Francesco Furfari from CNR, Italy the first subscriber of the Manifesto says: It's the first time that independent research projects have decided to join their efforts and share their findings before the projects have even finished. This is possible thanks to a common Open Source policy which may produce a strong impact on the market. Several industrial alliances have recently demonstrated how OSS can quickly open new markets, especially when the costs of developing a platform are spread over a multiplicity of stakeholders. -- Joe Gorman coordinator of EU project universAAL says: As the latest and largest AAL project in the series funded by the EU, one of the main objectives of the universAAL project is to work towards establishment of a standard platform for AAL. And not just the platform itself: also a community of people and organisations contributing to its development and uptake. We see AALOA as playing a central role in this, by putting us in touch with key stakeholders in the field, and providing a forum for real discussion and synergy with them. --- *Gunnar Fagerberg coordinator of EU project MonAMI says:* -- *anybody else * - Francesco Il 20.59, Antonio kung ha scritto: Dear all, Next week we will have one of the big days : announcing AALOA to the press. Here is a list of actions that are pending: * Francesco to provide a text. Note that Gunnar Fagerberg will provide a quote for inclusion (something like /MonAMI supports the AALOA initiative and we are delighted that this workshop is the event where AALOA is announced/) * At least 3
