Dear AALOA supporters, my name is Marco Eichelberg, and I representing the OFFIS Institute for Information Technology here, a non-profit research institute specializing in Computer Science research related to the application areas health, energy and transportation. The institute has been active in AAL research for quite a while, including projects such as - GAL (http://www.altersgerechte-lebenswelten.de/index.php?id=21&L=1) - IDEAAL (http://www.ideaal.de/front_content.php) - OSAMI (http://www.osami-commons.org/) - PAALiativ (http://www.paaliativ.de/) - PAGE (http://www.page.plri.de/) - SAPHIRE (http://www.srdc.metu.edu.tr/webpage/projects/saphire/)
My personal background is medical imaging, where I have been working on an Open Source toolkit for the DICOM standard (which is the most important image format and communication protocol in medical imaging) for more than 15 years - see http://dicom.offis.de/ Open source and the establishment of an AAL middleware platform along with a sufficiently large user community that warrants a long-term stability of the platform is of high interest for us.
