ENME: An ENriched MEdia application utilizing context for session mobility in a telecom system;human and technical issues.

Date: Friday, November 17 at 9:15-10.00 in Ada 333.

Abstract: AWAREphone (and other simular systems such as 'AT&T active address book)
is utilizing context/location/status PRIOR to placing a phone call.

Coming from a telecom background we are studying also changes INSIDE the
phone systems, and this makes it posssible to utilize context also to
change an ONGOING call in various ways.

We have implemented an applicationcalled ENME (ENriched MEdia).
ENME is keeping track of your location via RFID. The application is
keeping track of wanted media types (such as audio and video), the current
media types and available media types at the varios
locations/terminals/zones. This allows the application to move and change
an ONGOING call e.g. from voice telephony on a PDA to voice and video on a
bigger screen as the caller or callee is approaching a zone with richer
equipment.

We are discussing some human factors related to mediated comunication in
general. We are also discussing combined use ofAWAREphone and ENME, or
other 'smart call systems' in a hospital as seen from patients, nurses and
doctors.

CVLill Kristiansen:
Lill Kristiansen has her education fromUniv. of Oslo in mathematics and
computer science. She isnow a professor in telematics at ntnu (former
NTH) in Trondheim Norway. She has 10 years of experience from R&D in
telecom from Telenor and Ericsson, including work with TINA, IN
(intelligent networks) and IP multimedia telephony.The work includes both
continuous and discrete terminal mobility, as well as user mobility
across various terminals with concepts such as session mobility.
She has a technical background, but has studied use of ICT in health care
for the last 5 years. The presentation will NOT be very technical (unless
someone asks specific technical questions).
