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."
Best regards,
Thomas

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".

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 translations in French (Trialog), Italian (CNR)
and German (Rainer/Saied)
* Contacting the press. France (Trialog), Italy (CNR), Germany
(Fraunhofer), Sweden (SIAT) will announce the event to
Journalists and inform them that a facebook videostream will
be available
* Gerald, can you provide the details on the facebook videostream
* Press release to be make public on AALOA, UniversAAL, MonAMI
websites on tuesday afternoon
* A joint statement to be provided concerning AALOA/OpenURC
(see e-mail that follows)
Cheers
