The AALIANCE project – “The European Ambient Assisted Living Innovation Alliance” (please download the AALIANCE project flyer here) - aimed to coordinate the European AAL community and to develop a common strategic vision for short-, mid- and long-term R&D approaches in the AAL context.

Following key documents were produced to support this goal (please click on the title to download the document):

AALIANCE: Final publishable project report for funding phase from 01.01.2008 to 31.03.2010 (click here)

The short final report (8 pages) summarises the main achievements of the AALIANCE project.

AALIANCE: Ambient Assisted Living Roadmap (click here) 

The Ambient Assisted Living Roadmap provides an in-depth look into the future of AAL application areas, concepts and technologies until 2025.

The AALIANCE project published the first version of the AAL roadmap as a pdf-document which is still available. However, the 2nd version has been considerably updated and is now referenced by the project partner. This version is only available as a book from IOS Press.

AALIANCE: Ambient Assisted Living Strategic Research Agenda (click here)

In June 2010, the AAL Strategic Research Agenda has been made available. The AAL SRA aims to give more concrete guidance on forthcoming research needs in the AAL area. The principle structure of the AAL roadmap (see above) is maintained while the difference is in the indication of more concrete research projections.

The SRA is meant to be updated approximately every two years.

AALIANCE Policy Recommendations (click here)

Demographic and economic trends and complex health and care market structures in Europe are key justifications for AAL related state intervention and R&D policy. The AALIANCE policy recommendation paper provides a concise picture of the actual scenery in the AAL domain and clearly addresses desirable policy actions for the next future.

The policy recommendations substantially base on input, presentations and discussions of the jointly organised workshop by the AAL Association and the AALIANCE project of September 2008.

AALIANCE Report on Standardisation Requirements (click here)

The goal of an integrated AAL environment is to come to interoperable systems that can work together as an integrated system that collects information from different subsystems and can even reason about it to give adequate information and support to the users.

The AALIANCE standardisation report sketches the scope of this issue in the AAL domain, focussing on technologies and technology-based processes.

AALIANCE: Malaga conference papers and posters (click here)

The AALIANCE conference in Malaga in March 2010 was a comprehensive showcase of AAL technologies, systems, applications and also presented business models, the issue of user involvement and approaches to ethical issues. Numerous contributions have been submitted in from of structured papers and posters and this valuable material is available as free download from the above link.
