Call for Papers for the:
Project CONFIDENCE Open Workshop
11-15 October 2010 in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Description of the project and workshop
The workshop is dedicated to the issues concerning project CONFIDENCE (Ubiquitous Care System to Support Independent Living), which is a project from the European seventh framework programme.
PARTNERS on the project: Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones, Técnicas de Gipuzkoa (Spain); Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS (Germany), Jozef Stefan Institute (Slovenia), Ikerlan (Spain), COOSS Marche (Italy), University of Jyväskylä (Finland), Umeĺ Municipality (Sweeden), eDevice (France), CUP2000 (Italy), ZENON S.A. Robotics & Informatics (Greece).
The main objective of the CONFIDENCE project is the development and integration of innovative technologies to build a care system for the detection of abnormal events (such as falls) or unexpected behaviours that may be related to a health problem in elderly people. Nowadays, most of the care systems in the market are limited to detect falls. The innovation of the system developed in the CONFIDENCE project is that it will not only detect falls, but also identify short and long term unexpected behaviours that could indicate health problems. Thanks to these features, the elderly people will gain the confidence and independence and the burden on families and caregivers will be substantially reduced. The result of this multidisciplinary research will be a working prototype.
The purpose of the CONFIDENCE project Workshop is to stimulate interdisciplinary debate between scientists, dealing with exploration of the projsect related topics. All contributions, which represent the scientific efforts associated with the central theme of the project, are welcomed. Contributions can be in the form of results of research reports, work in progress as well as overviews that will present your perspective on particular phenomena.
In particular, we invite researchers who deal with any aspect of CONFIDENCE project to attend this event.
