The document discusses the 'Easy Rider' workshop by Telecom Italia, focusing on networked roads and communications infrastructure. It emphasizes the need for a unified ICT platform to facilitate the integration of various services and sensors for intelligent transportation systems. Key topics include the use of distributed agents, sensor technologies, and personalized services for different terminals.

This new world has to be Multidevice & Multiplatform
•Intelligent behaviour arises from distribuited agents contributing to a collective
generation of services whose fruitors are information suppliers as well (pro-
sumers).
•What is needed is the ICT platform able to make this process happen.
•So that whatever the terminals, the WSNs, the Gateways and the data the
services can spark from the grid.

Reaching multiple terminals
Services optimized to all the terminals
Management of the user profile
The services are
• Adapted to the terminal of the user
• Can move from one terminal to another
• Personalized
A plain browser is enough for the basic profile.
