Amigo- Ambient Intelligence for the NetworkedHome Environment. FP6 project.ObjectivesAmigo project aims to overcome the obstacles to widespread acceptance of home ICT applications. The projectwill develop open, standardized, interoperable middleware and attractive user services, thus improving end-userusability and attractiveness. The project will show the end-user usability and attractiveness of such a homesystem by creating and demonstrating prototype applications improving everyday life, addressing all vital useraspects: home care and safety, home information and entertainment, and extension of the home environment bymeans of ambience sharing for advanced personal communication. The Amigo project will further supportinteroperability between equipment and services within the networked home environment by using standardtechnology when possible and by making the basic middleware (components and infrastructure) and basic userservices available as open source software together with architectural rules for everyone to use.DescriptionThe project develops applications in different domains to show the potential for end-users and the benefits of theservice oriented-middleware architecture for application developers. These applications are: ―Home Care andSafety‖, ―Home Information and Entertainment‖, and the ―Extended Home Environment‖ – in which multiplehomes are connected. A major goal is to provide end-users with services that enable them to share activities andexperiences in an easy and personalized way.
