EvAAL workshopThe EvAAL workshop will be hosted by the AAL forum (Lecce, IT) as a side event:
EvAAL (Evaluating AAL Systems Through Competitive Benchmarking) is a newborn initiative aimed at evaluating solutions related to Ambient Assisted Living by organizing annual international contests, each year with specific topics in the context of AAL Forum. It aims at raising interest in the research and developer communities in the multidisciplinary research fields enabling Ambient Assisted Living, and at creating benchmarks for the evaluation and comparison of AAL systems. In particular, EvAAL will focus not only on comparison of algorithms, but also of cost, deployment effort, time and costs, etc. The topic of the first EvAAL competition has been on Indoor Localization and Tracking for AAL. It has taken place between 6 competitors from 25th to 29th of July 2011 in Valencia, Spain. The competitors had to pass an admission process based on review of submitted papers. In this session, the competitors will present their solutions followed by the report of the program committee on the process and results of the contest. The award ceremony will take place during the Networking Dinner on Tuesday, Sep 27th. An initiative supported by the AALOA community (http://www.aaloa.org) and organised by the universAAL project (http://www.universAAL.org)
