Project ORESTEIA
FrameWork IST
Contract Number: IST-2000-26091
Full Name MODULAR HYBRID ARTEFACTS WITH ADAPTIVE FUNCTIONALITY
Participants ALTEC S.A., IVML-NTUA, ST Microelectronics Italy S.A., University of Milan, Kings College of London, Imperial College
Budget €2614313
Duration 2001-2003 (36 months)
Description The main objective of ORESTEIA IST project is to define, design and validate the internal architecture and the collaborative functionality of artefacts with embedded hybrid intelligence. The targeted artefacts will possess encapsulated local decision capabilities, as well as on-line adaptability of their behavior, while being able to communicate to each other producing new more complex functionalities. Micro-power sources will enable artefacts to "live" in an autonomous mode. The proposal focuses on the creation of artefacts responsible for interaction with humans, possessing modularity, hybrid architecture composed of subsymbolic and symbolic components which continuously interact with each other, adaptable functionality and ability to communicate with each other and with information sites based on common structure of the information they possess, extract and exchange. Of particular importance to the project is the design of collections of artefacts providing health status analysis and hazard avoidance.
