  abstract     = {{With the emergence of technology-enhanced environments, new forms of communication and interaction will become possible. The initial design of such environments is likely to have a considerable impact on the way, people communicate and interact in the future. Hence, it is important to identify the requirements that potential users have, in order to accept and actually live in such intelligent spaces. This talk addresses the design, implementation and evaluation of future information and communication technologies. Based on different prototypes of Intelligent objects and environments, important aspects within an user-centered development process are illustrated. The focus of the talk is especially on the acceptances of alternative design concepts and the development of different communication prototypes, both for home and office use.}},

  abstract     = {{This paper presents a discussion of current developments in the field of smart medical services. Smart medical services are often cited as a promising solution to support elderly or disabled people. By providing a wide variety of services, they bear an immense potential for revolutionizing the way health services are provided in the future. In general, smart medical services can be clustered into three categories focusing on the detection and prevention of emergency situations, long-term treatment of chronic diseases, and the prevention and early-detection of illnesses. This paper provides an overview over the different types of applications and describes several research demonstrators and prototype systems for each category.}},
