Second International Workshop on Design & Implementation of Independent & Assisted Living Technology – DIILT ’12
United Kingdom
09/10/2012

Second International Workshop on Design & Implementation of Independent & Assisted Living Technology – DIILT ’12

At 26th Annual HCI Conference of the British Computer Society HCI 2012 - People and Computers XXVI

Birmingham, U.K, 10th-14th September 2012

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts, academics and practitioners to share experiences and expertise of assisted living technology, telecare or telehealth implementations and evaluations.

Discussions will focus on the challenges and best practices in evaluating the impact of practical and pragmatic implementations and large scale roll-out of health technologies 'in the wild' (i.e outside of the lab and beyond pilot studies).

The workshop will review case studies, trials, design, development and implementations of technologies reaching end-users in their homes to support, tele-care, telehealth, independent or assisted living. The aim is to assess how technologies can be integrated into people's homes and communities and how resulting benefits or disbenefits on people's health and wellbeing can be objectively measured and evaluated.

International Telecommunication Union Kaleidoscope 2013 Building Sustainable Communities Academic Conference
Japan
04/22/2013

International Telecommunication Union Kaleidoscope 2013 Building Sustainable Communities Academic Conference

22–24 April 2013, Kyoto, Japan

Kaleidoscope 2013 Building Sustainable Communities is the fifth in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized
by ITU that brings together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research institutions of different fields. The aim of Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify emerging developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) at an early stage to generate successful products and services through the development of international and open standards.

Future technologies should be designed to enhance the quality of human life. Kaleidoscope 2013 will, therefore, highlight multidisciplinary aspects of future ICTs including future services and applications demand as well as socio-economic, cultural, ethical, legal, and sustainable development policy aspects of communities of the future.

ICTs can be used as a catalyst for transforming life to meet the challenges of the new millennium, including global economic and
financial crises, high unemployment rates, accessibility issues, global diseases, food availability and distribution, climate change,
environmental disasters, energy consumption, transport systems, safety, security, and welfare.

Sustainable communities will combine human-oriented technologies and human values.

Besides technical issues, building sustainable communities also raises ethical concerns such as responsibility for future generations and for the environment, as well as for data and information privacy. Therefore, an improved understanding of technology, its suitable application, and a high consideration of its potential consequences are necessary.

To address these issues, and for a co-evolution of technology and sustainable communities, standards are indispensable. Developing these standards will require concerted global efforts by inter-sectoral stakeholders. This conference will help to further such collaborations.
