II-     Status of the project

 

Consortium:

Financial status per partner:

 Djamel Khadraoui wants to know if everyone received the exact amount of the budget:

- TUW: have already received a part but are not sure to get the entire budget.

- DMMR: budget per year

- E-seniors: first pre-payment

-HKU: everything is fine

 

Administrative status:

 He also wants to know when the deadline for reporting with NCP is.

 Each partner must commit to some reporting process. There are different deadlines per country (end of January or February). We need to make sure that the reporting is the same to AAL.

·        Before February 28th 2012: annual progress report 2011 (template in STIMULATE website)

·        For sept/ Oct 2012: midterm evaluation. (combining with a Consortium meeting)

·        Before February 28th 2013: annual progress report 2012

·        Before the end of Oct 2013: final project

 

 

III-   WP1 status

 

Goal of the meeting:

- Validate D1.1 (Cybercultus and TUDOR)

- A joined specification of scenarios and technology to be developped

- Enable added value of cooperation

- Define joined demonstrator or complementary demonstrations

- Dissemination strategy: posters, conferences, national and international networking with common dissemination per country discussing and sharing elements. Identify dissemination places and who will join the national events. e.g. “semaine bleue” in France by E-seniors on 3rd week of Oct.

 

Deliverable 1.3:

Draft expected for mid-February 2012. Functional requirements start in February with User interface and early profiles.

IV –WP1 status cont’d

 

User requirements:

-  About user requirements, we need to see how this connects to the present technologies. How do we deal with use cases and combine this with technical parts?

- How were the experts selected? One of the examples was Vacances bleues who cater to the needs of the elderly.

- Accessibility is not explicitly covered in T1.1. Concentrated on people above 65 as below this age, they are similar to the general population.

- Cost is an issue. This can be catered to where value can be added.

- Contextual analysis was done: clustering of themes.

- For DMMR, importance to also cater to the elderly aged 85 and above.

- It is a matter of mobility rather than age. User profiles: concentrated on active older person and non-active person. Inclusivity: which group to include for the use case? By solving this issue for one group, it would be solved for many others.

- Requirements are driven by the data from 1.1. How many profiles, scenarios will be created?

- Information visualization: information that can be used for interaction design.

 

Interactive television issue:

- Is this realistic and do people already use it? An article with an overview about iTV has been uploaded onto the collaborative platform. It is an option and it can be removed if it is not found useful. (said by TUDOR)

- About Online TV guide, the question would be who is going to do this?

 

 

Socio-economical criterias:

- DMMR raises the missing sociological perspective (rural vs city elderly). Socio-economic criteria (e.g. women who have not worked and are connected via clubs or “Vacances bleues”) Rural elderly are not as informed.  70% of seniors do not have credit card. Institutions could be the link. The fear would be to exclude people..

- The idea is concentrating on a travel organizer group and searching what the options are to cater to these different groups.

- Look at the impact it makes to user requirements (socio-economic standard). People are familiar with ICT and those who are not. Option: training, etc. could be done.

 

- For the user interface one should make it as easy as possible. It is important to keep in mid (usability). Travel organizers can be the connection to this group.

- Requirements of the travel agents, end-users, intermediaries are important – critical to accept the system.

- Deals with local tourists providers or work with intermediaries who have contacts, know what products they can offer. The idea is to use the platform to make this happen.

- Interesting website found by E-seniors: travel.math.com

- Emergency case: how to tackle this? Most have secured their documents somewhere.

- We must not choose too many aspects, we must concentrate more. (saide by E-seniors) Two groups are proposed: a middle class and a lower class.

- Staying in touch with families. Proposal, system can track what you did and automatically sends a summary of what you are doing.

- We must include the needs and requirements of the caregivers.

- How can we filter this? Need of adaptability.

- DMMR must translate their questions into requirements which the technical partners can work with.

- How to apply the legal framework, ethical requirements and make it compatible: legal reliability.

- How does it work in reality with regard to insurance? 3 levels of insurances: insurances of the senior, of the health insurance, etc.

- Credibility in terms of requirements.

- roaming is an issue: potential solution, all the information downloaded via mobile phone with gps can then be used by the operator or any other user. If there is something going wrong then you need connectivity. (Data transfer) Point of interest: customized downloadable data.

- Reframe the scenarios with the itinerary planner

- What kind of static information do we have access to? (e.g. scenario creation) Stimulate can connect you to the website which has accessibility.

 

Sustainable e2 mobility services:

- What the system would look like and the different components might be?

- What is not shown is the itinerary optimization.

 

 

 

 

 

Friday, January 27th 2012

 

I - Informal discussions

-         Translate needs into services terms (specifics needs)

-         Austrian partners will be in charge of writing a template using general elements to modify them in specifics elements

-         A scenario will be study in June and test by DMMR (accessibility, …)

-         We need to identify requirements first by priority

-         A work shop meeting will be organize for end-users to explain how to use the STIMULATE device

Methodology

Planning – Execution – assistance

2 categories : Family / Travel organization

(The template will be sent within a week)

Specific services for targeted groups

AFC will act as intermediate travel agency and will extract from his 30 pages report a template.

e-seniors (1.2 of the documentation sent by Austrian partners) : will be in charge of 2 scenarios to fill the template

Elements of ethic

We need to integrate in the STIMULATE device an innovative integrated system in which it will be necessary to add something like some kind of GPS.

We have to take care of rights on data collect (e.g. CNIL in France) in case of collect of information on disable people. Those should exist in each partner country to create a common working environment.

Martine proposes to give to all partners general framework of the existent in France with concrete cases.

II -  TUDOR slides

Mobile device discussions

Probably STIMULATE project must forgive the use of TV aspects in favor of performant mobile phones and tablets.

Platform System Architecture: composition of services

1/ Transport and itinerary optimization

2/ Use profiling and Resource advisor

 

3 main “steps”

1-      Planning

2-      Traveling

3-      Monitoring (follow by ‘unexpected events’ handled such traffic jam, medical/health emergency)

For e-seniors : “Défibrilateurs”, emergency phone number

It’s necessary to think to alternative internet who doesn’t work, for example, to have a travel book or to call 112 in case of emergency.

TUDOR will create a poster for the project within next days (ICT oriented/provide solutions)

III – Discussions and choice of STIMULATE logo

 

Next meeting will take place in May probably in Switzerland or Luxembourg
