The AALIANCE Conference presented most important findings of the AALIANCE project, i.e. the updated AAL research roadmap, the AAL strategic research agenda, an overview of the status of standardisation in the AAL domain. The stated documents of the project are available from the "Documents" menu item. 

The conference was an actual showcase of the complete AAL value creation chain. 30 papers - selected from the response to the call for papers - presented AAL technologies, AAL system architectures, and AAL applications. Also, the perspective of the user dimension was covered as well as the importance of standards and interoperability. Finally, economic scenarios and business cases were presented and discussed. Please download all papers and, in addition, several posters from the conference programme (just click this link). Please also have a look at single presentations by downloading video streams from here.

The conference was successful in widely disseminating and reflecting these significant results with a broad audience of AAL stakeholders that will be used to determining necessary further directions of AAL.
