EDAmI Workshop description and invitation

We invite you to attend a workshop on the theme Ethical Design of Ambient Intelligence (EDAmI) at Sunday 19.7.2009, Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain, in conjunction with IE09, 5th International Conference on Intelligent Environments, July 20-21, 2009

The purpose of the workshop is to present research and studies that have tackled with issues related to new technologies, ethics and user experience of ambient intelligence. Another goal of the workshop is to focus on ethical guidelines that have been produced especially for the design of new technologies. The whole-day workshop is organised in conjunction with IE 2009 conference http://intelligentenvironments.org/conferences/ie09.


List of workshop themes include, but are not limited to:
* Ethical issues of Ambient Intelligence
* Ethical guidelines for design of Intelligent Environments
* User and/or usability/user experience studies related to the design of Intelligent Environments
* Privacy, Security and safety in the design of Intelligent Environments
* Scenario-Based Design of Ambient Intelligence
* Design for All, Inclusive Design
* Sustainable design (ecological, social and economical)
* Activity Centered Design
* Human Driven Design of Space and Architecture
* Art and Design
* Ethical Theories
* Value Based Design
* Value Centered Design
* Special Groups (e.g. elderly, disabled)
* Social Aspects
* Legal Aspects


ETICA project

The ETICA project will identify emerging Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their potential application areas in order to analyse and evaluate ethical issues arising from these. By including a variety of stakeholders and disciplinary perspectives, it will grade and rank foreseeable ethical risks. Based on the study governance arrangements currently used to address ICT ethics in Europe, ETICA will recommend concrete governance structures to address the most salient ethical issues identified. These recommendations will form the basis of more general policy recommendations aimed at addressing ethical issues in emerging ICTs before or as they arise.

Minami project

MINAmI (Micro-Nano integrated platform for transverse Ambient Intelligence applications) is a European Commission FP6 supported IP project developing an open technology platform for mobile phone based ambient intelligence (mobile AmI). The platform extends the users’ personal mobile phone with wireless connections to tags and sensors, thus enabling access to ambient applications and services. The platform concept enables a wide variety of usages for mobile AmI – but what do the users want and accept and what are the social and ethical issues raising from these concepts? Ethical concerns regarding the vision and products of the project are handled in special task dedicated to this.
