Abstract:
Project funded by the European Commission, under the 7th framework programme-ICT-2011-7. The objective of the CLOUD4All project is the development of an infrastructure, based on cloud-computing, that could allow for an automatic personalization of software and ICT devices (such as computers, mobile phones, self-service terminals, etc …) on the basis of the individual needs of each person. Cloud4All represents a European based effort to advance the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure (GPII) concept, i.e. a global infrastructure that can deliver accessibility to every individual where they need it, when they need it and in a way that matches their unique requirements; automatically so that they do not need to negotiate, explain, qualify or justify. The overall project structure is broken into 4 Sub-Projects (SP): SP1 is focused on developing methods to capture, store and manage the full range of needs and preferences of people facing barriers to ICT use due to disability, literacy level or ageing into concise and dynamically updated user profiles. SP2 is focused on developing methods for mapping the full range of ICT solutions and matching them to the profiles of the users. SP3 is focused on working with key mainstream ICT manufacturers to get them to build autoconfiguration into their platforms, devices and software, as well as working with AT vendors to get them to build auto personalization into their products. This includes developing methods for communicating preferences that will work across platforms and technologies and exploring all the realworld issues that arise in doing this to real products rather than research prototypes. SP4 is focused on testing the ideas, concepts, and methods identified or developed by this project in real world settings
