EnComPAs: Enabling Community Communications – Platforms and Applications

The EnComPAs project will enable the creation of a system and converged residential services suite, that will lay the infrastructure for new consumer's experiences and new Telco operator's revenues. This area seems to be a future market that will generate new revenue streams (as revenue sharing) and enable Europeans companies to assume a leadership position. By distributing services throughout the home (fast and shared Internet access, multimedia content, remote control and access, home automation, and home security/safety), it aims at supporting the communication needs of the many social communities in which each member of the household takes part (school, colleagues, hobbies, friends, family…).

	Co-designing new technologies for Community Communication Bart van der Meerssche / 29.12.2005 14:54:33
	We've presented our creative co-design research story on a rainy winter day at the First European Communication Conference in Amsterdam. Abstract: [...] The main focus of this paper will be on the methodological issues associated to this type of research. How to design communication technologies in a multidisciplinary team involving: users, sociologists, product designers and engineers?
