Sofia project

e structure of the project consists of:

- Three vertical work packages (WP1-3) representing three different kind of applications areas with a com-plete set of solutions to demonstrate and pilot smart environment applications and services in contexts of personal smart space, smart housing and smart city.

- Three horizontal work packages (WP4-6) representing the key technical solutions needed to create common base for user interaction in smart environments, systems architecture and application development.

- A work package (WP7) creating the large scale pilot demonstrating all aspects related to the three application areas and the three technical domains. Last work package (WP8) concerns the management of the project. The SOFIA project key outcomes relate to user interaction paradigms for interacting within smart environments, the common interpretability solution among many heterogeneous devices and embedded systems, and development schemes that are able to mobilise new developers for smart environments. SOFIA R&D project (100017) is partially financed by ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (TEKES), the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade (MITYC), the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands (Agentschap NL) and the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
