     EDAmI Workshop invitation

We invite you to attend a workshop on the theme Ethical Design of 
Ambient Intelligence (EDAmI) at Sunday 19.7.2009, Technical University 
of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain, in conjunction with IE09, 5th 
International Conference on Intelligent Environments, July 20-21, 2009


     Theme

The purpose of the workshop is to present research and studies that have 
tackled with issues related to new technologies, ethics and user 
experience of ambient intelligence. Another goal of the workshop is to 
focus on ethical guidelines that have been produced especially for the 
design of new technologies. The whole-day workshop is organised in 
conjunction with IE 2009 conference 
http://intelligentenvironments.org/conferences/ie09.

List of workshop themes include, but are not limited to:
* Ethical issues of Ambient Intelligence
* Ethical guidelines for design of Intelligent Environments
* User and/or usability/user experience studies related to the design of 
Intelligent Environments
* Privacy, Security and safety in the design of Intelligent Environments
* Scenario-Based Design of Ambient Intelligence
* Design for All, Inclusive Design
* Sustainable design (ecological, social and economical)
* Activity Centered Design
* Human Driven Design of Space and Architecture
* Art and Design
* Ethical Theories
* Value Based Design
* Value Centered Design
* Special Groups (e.g. elderly, disabled)
* Social Aspects
* Legal Aspects

*ETICA project (**www.etica-project.eu <http://www.etica-project.eu/> )***

The ETICA project will identify emerging Information and Communication 
Technologies (ICTs) and their potential application areas in order to 
analyse and evaluate ethical issues arising from these. By including a 
variety of stakeholders and disciplinary perspectives, it will grade and 
rank foreseeable ethical risks. Based on the study governance 
arrangements currently used to address ICT ethics in Europe, ETICA will 
recommend concrete governance structures to address the most salient 
ethical issues identified. These recommendations will form the basis of 
more general policy recommendations aimed at addressing ethical issues 
in emerging ICTs before or as they arise.*

*Minami project (http://www.fp6-minami.org/ )*

MINAmI (Micro-Nano integrated platform for transverse Ambient 
Intelligence applications) is an European Commission FP6 supported IP 
project developing an open technology platform for mobile phone based 
ambient intelligence (mobile AmI). The platform extends the users’ 
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 and what are the social and ethical issues 
raising from these concepts? Ethical concerns regarding the vision* *and 
products of the project are handled in special task dedicated to this.**

*Call for participation*

You are cordially invited to participate to the workshop. We are looking 
for research and studies that have tackled with issues related to new 
technologies, ethics and user experience of ambient intelligence. You 
are invited to present your experiences or studies related to the theme.
