Current advances in enabling technologies coupled with evolving care
paradigms allow us to foresee novel applications and services for
improving the quality of life for ageing and disabled people, both
inside and outside of their homes. ICOST intends to present the latest
approaches and technical solutions in the area of Smart Homes, Health
Telematics, and emerging enabling technologies. Specifically we wish
to provide the opportunity to present the latest results in the
successes of real deployment of systems and services. This addresses
technical and social solutions beyond the home environment and covers
the use of assistive technologies in the heart of the community.
Technical topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Intelligent Environments with emphasis on Smart Homes
- Personal Medical Data Collection and Processing (Health Vaults)
- Devices, Systems and Algorithms for Vision/Hearing/Cognitive/
Communication Impairments
- Home Networks and Residential Gateways
- Human-Machine Interface and Ambient Intelligence
- Home Health Monitoring and Intervention
- Wearable Sensors / Integrated Micro/Nano Systems
- Tele-Assistance and Tele-Rehabilitation
- Assistive and Rehabilative Robotics and Smart Wheelchairs
- Social/Privacy/Security Issues
- Context Awareness / Autonomous Computing
- Middleware Support for Smart Home and Health Telematic Services
- Modelling of Physical and Conceptual Information in Intelligent
Environments
- Real World Deployments and Experiences in Smart Homes, Hospitals,
and Living Communities
- Elder Perspectives on Smart Home Technologies
- Assistive Technology to Improve Quality of Life for Older Adults and
their Caregivers
- Gerontechnology, Social Science and Health Care Technology

ICOST2009 will have the focus on the deployment of technology and
usage with the involvement of both industrials and end users.
Demonstration sessions and brainstorming sessions with users will be
organised in addition to regular paper and poster presentation sessions.
