The objective of AMI@Netfood project is to support
the implementation of the IST Research Priority and Framework Programme,
providing a long-term vision on future trends on Scientific and
Technology Research oriented to the development and application of
Ambient Intelligence technologies to the agri-food domain. The project
will be carried out developing an ERA Pilot joint collaboration
platform resulting from a roadmap the area of Applications and services
for collaborative working. As a result AMI@Netfood will provide a path, in the
form of a Strategic Research Agenda, common to a number of EU Member
States and Regions, which will be designed to guide RTD in ICTs to
provide an answer to identified needs of the sector. The project will
provide a framework to discuss about the increasingly demanding need of
having collaborative and mobile applications and services and innovative
ways to tackle social issues and to bring benefits to consumers,
industry and the environment. AMI@Netfood results will specifically
focus on the solutions adaptable to the needs of local/regional SMEs in
the Agri-food sector in themes like innovative extended products and
services, rural development, efficient knowledge creation; sharing and
exploitation through collaborative activities involving the individual -
the mobile user and worker. | |
| Relevance to HYDRA: | The effort of AMI@Netfood was to bring Ambient Intelligence in the agrifood sector. Since one from the HYDRA application domains is agriculture, HYDRA middleware has the possibility to show farmers, that for example using ICT in order to shorten their costs need not be difficult. | |
