1) The document discusses the concept of the "digital dividend" which refers to the benefits or payback from investing in the digitization of broadcasting.
2) It notes that both broadcasters and the public who have to change receivers have invested in digital broadcasting and both could expect to receive benefits from the digital dividend.
3) However, it argues that defining and distributing the digital dividend fairly is complex given the different objectives of commercial players versus public service broadcasters and the need to use spectrum as a public resource efficiently.

The document discusses developing an analytical framework for understanding how content is distributed on the internet. It examines how technologies, industry practices, and regulation can be used to control various dimensions of content distribution such as time, space, speed, quality, access, and attention. A multi-layer model is proposed to analyze actors, technologies of control, and forms of regulation across the distribution chain from servers to end users. Key issues discussed include geo-blocking, network management, and graduated response copyright enforcement policies.
This document discusses interactivity in mobile TV. It describes work packages related to interactivity platforms, synchronization of media streams and applications, and object-based interactivity. It outlines a proposed synchronization framework using RTCP and SDP to synchronize applications and media on the client and server. It demonstrates object-based interactivity using MPEG LASeR/SAF with two implementations, GPAC and Streamezzo, showing clickable regions and actions in video streams. The document concludes that many approaches to interactivity exist and synchronization can be achieved without major headend changes, but MPEG LASeR implementation remains problematic.

Coclustering Base Classification For Out Of Domain Documentslau
This document presents a co-clustering based classification algorithm (CoCC) for classifying documents from a related but different domain (out-of-domain documents) by utilizing labeled documents from another domain (in-domain documents). CoCC aims to simultaneously cluster out-of-domain documents and words to minimize the loss of mutual information, outperforming traditional supervised and semi-supervised algorithms. While CoCC achieved good performance, its time complexity can be inefficient due to the large number of word clusters. Future work will focus on speeding up the algorithm.

The document discusses a living lab for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to involve users in the product development process from an early stage. Some key benefits mentioned include detecting unintended problems or opportunities through active user involvement, conducting multi-method research to enrich products academically, and allowing technologies to be domesticated by users rather than just consumed. The living lab offers services to SMEs to help fast track the process from ideation to demonstration through co-creation with various user types and extra funding and support opportunities.
This document discusses the iterative process of co-creating an ontology with stakeholders. Researchers conducted contextual inquiries through documentation analysis, observations, and interviews across multiple healthcare sites. Scenarios were developed and used in workshops with various stakeholders including medical professionals, engineers, and social scientists. The workshops introduced ontologies and involved role playing, decision making, and concept evaluation. A proof of concept was developed using a personal electronic device to demonstrate the ontology. The document reflects on further refining the process and developing the research.
PRoF is a living lab that builds very life-like environments using state-of-the-art products to enable early testing and concept validation. It provides an ecosystem for innovation and business across companies, academia, users, and care actors. PRoF has a long history of collaboration and has had a big impact on innovation in healthcare.
Results of the Apollon pilot in homecare and independent livingimec.archive
The document summarizes the results of the Apollon pilot project evaluating the use of living lab networks for testing homecare and independent living services across borders. The pilot involved transferring three such services between four living labs in different countries. A key finding was that a common cross-border ecosystem model for living labs in healthcare was not feasible due to differences between countries in areas like value networks, organization of healthcare, regulations, and infrastructure. However, living labs could still effectively serve as brokers and matchmakers to enable cross-border collaboration by addressing issues around stakeholders, access to users, liability, ethics, rules, and safety. Based on this pilot, the document advocates for a domain-specific network of smart care living labs to facilitate knowledge

This document discusses the CASALA Living Lab, which conducts research on delivering feedback to users about their health, home security, and energy usage using sensors in ambient assisted living homes. The CASALA Living Lab has multiple stages, including virtual environments, a facility called Great Northern Haven with over 2,000 sensors collecting data from 16 apartments, and community deployments. The lab aims to understand user behavior from real-world data and provide feedback to empower users. Challenges include lack of market awareness for ambient assisted living and siloed funding, while successes involve end-user involvement and driving education and adoption of these technologies.
The document describes the Emmanuel Haven Living Lab located in Motherwell, South Africa. The Living Lab was established to provide prevention, treatment, care and support to communities impacted by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and diabetes. It aims to mitigate the health, psychological and socio-economic effects of these diseases through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and community programs. Some of its initiatives include using mobile technologies to enable home-based care, nutritional education, and skills development for disabled community members. The Living Lab faces challenges such as lack of infrastructure, connectivity and access issues, as well as social challenges like poverty and low literacy levels in the community.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

1) The FIREBALL project coordinates and aligns approaches between future internet research, experimentation testbeds, and user-driven open innovation to promote innovation in smart cities.
2) Smart cities require three components: cities/communities to define challenges, living labs as generators of solutions developed with citizen involvement, and internet technologies as facilitators of communication and information processing.
3) Key FIREBALL activities include developing a smart city vision and cases, building smart city innovation ecosystems and networks, and coordinating medium to long term future internet research with short to medium term applied research and large scale experimentation.
