PEACE: Personal Enhanced Acquisition for Citizen's Environment

Information and communication technologies have a role to play in improving a citizen’s quality of life. The ageing world population  demonstrates the major challenge of assisting citizens in their various activities. ICTs could help them to have a healthier lifestyle, reduce physical efforts, reduce the risk of disease and prevent accidents or illnesses. PEACE aims to provide a system allowing the association of any type of sensors or data sources  with any action  within the user’s environment. The generic approach of this system allows it to be deployed  in several backgrounds. Indeed, multiple purposes can concern home automation, clinical environment automation and progress in the Ambient Assisted Living field. Creating this system required focusing on multiple areas like user interaction paradigms, I/O management, security management systems and automatic services discovery. Developing this project has demonstrated  significant future  job possibilities. Indeed, the implemented use-case is applicable to clinical environments and to domestic environments. Furthermore, this opens the door to  enable the realisation of  automation in the citizen’s environment.
