Third EvAAL Competition (Evaluating AAL Systems through Competitive Benchmarking)
Dal 01/07/2013 ore 09.00 al 19/07/2013 ore 19.00
1-5 July 2013 Living Lab of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Complutense Avenue 30, "University City". 28040 - Madrid, Spain)- 8-12 July 2013 CIAmI Living Lab in Valencia (Ronda Auguste y Louis Lumiere 23, Nave 13 Parque Tecnológico de Valencia 46980 Paterna, Valencia, Spain) - 15-19 July 2013 DomoCasa Lab in Pisa (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Polo Sant'Anna Valdera, Viale Rinaldo Piaggio 34 56025 Pontedera (Pisa), Italy)
EvAAL is an initiative (developed as a project under the AALOA association) that aims at bringing together academic and industrial research communities to work together on challenging open problems in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), with the purpose of evaluating different approaches to AAL and envisioning new research opportunities.
The competition is composed of three tracks and a final workshop:
- Track 1 on Indoor Localization and Tracking for AAL, to be held on 1-5 July 2013 at the Living Lab of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, ES
-Track 2 on Activity Recognition for AAL, to be held on 8-12 July 2013 at the CIAmI Living Lab in Valencia, ES
- Track 3 on Companion Robots for AAL, to be held on 15-19 July 2013 at DomoCasa Lab in Pisa, IT
- EvAAL workshop to be held in conjunction with the AAL Forum in September 2013, Norrköping, SE (http://www.aalforum.eu/).Track 1 – Indoor Localization and Tracking for AAL
Track 1 – Indoor Localization and Tracking for AAL
Localization is a key component for achieving context awareness. Recent
years have witnessed increasing interest in location-based services and
applications. In most cases, however, location information is limited by
the accessibility to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which
is largely unavailable in indoor environments. The purpose of this
track is supporting localization needs of AAL applications.
Track 2 – Activity Recognition for AAL
The automatic and unobtrusive identification of user’s activities is one
of the challenging goals of context-aware computing. Real-time
monitoring of human movements could be a useful tool for many purposes
and future applications such as lifelog, healthcare or
entertainment. The purpose of this track is supporting activity
recognition needs of AAL applications.
Track 3 – Companion Robots for AAL
The use of robots in domestic environments as companions that assists
elderlies in their own home is a growing research field, and the
robotics community can already show very good examples of systems able
to execute different tasks and complex actions. This track, new to the
third year of EvAAL, aims at defining benchmarks for the integration of
such robots with intelligent environments that provide user localization
and situation detection. The purpose is facilitating human-robot
interaction in AAL environments.
