Usages
and Acceptance of Mobile AmI
The MINAmI project invites you to attend a workshop
on the theme Usages and Acceptance of Mobile AmI.
The purpose of the workshop is to present the concept
of mobile AmI from the user’s point of view:
usages that mobile AmI provides and issues that affect
to user acceptance of mobile AmI.
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’s
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? These questions,
which are investigated in the MINAmI project and the
focus of the MINAmI workshop, reflect also to ambient
intelligence and information society in general.
The morning part of the workshop presents the concept
of mobile-phone centric ambient intelligence (mobile
AmI) as envisioned in the MINAmI project, and illustrates
usages of mobile AmI through MINAmI scenarios in the
application fields of everyday, healthcare and homecare.
The scenarios have been evaluated by users, and the
results tell us about how people response to mobile
AmI and reveal challenges regarding user acceptance
of mobile AmI in different application fields.
The afternoon part of the workshop continues the examination
of user acceptance of mobile AmI by considering the
technology and its usages especially from an ethical
viewpoint: are there specific privacy, security, trust,
or social challenges in mobile AmI that would prevent
user acceptance of the technology and applications?
How can these be resolved? Experts on ethics of ICT,
eHealth, information society etc. will participate
in a panel discussion on critical ethical obstacles
to user acceptance of mobile AmI and solutions to
these.
