Collaborative Content & Content-based Services - COCOS - by Atos Origin

Abstract: COCOS Value Proposition is to grant the smaller media enterprises access to content syndication services currently available only to big media players. The network and collaboration effect will grant smaller players the ability to have a consistent and comprehensive presence in the market through a flexible dynamic value-chain that will foster new service creation across the EU. In addition, non-professional communities of end-users will be able to make use of professional tools for audiovisual editing, filtering and others. COCOS main objective is the definition and development of an application for collaborative audiovisual production, editing and publication with tools running on a Peer2Peer distributed workflows and a semantic Web based repository of news information that will make contents and services available to different types of users: Broadband TV editors, translation agencies, domain experts etc.

RISING: Broadcasting Localised Information - by WIT-Software Lda

Abstract: Road safety is a major concern for all of us. Although things have improved in recent years, the number of road fatalities is still unacceptably high. In 2005, road accidents killed over 40000 people in the European Union and injured more than 1.2 million. RISING allows the reception of accurate, localised and real-time traffic information inside vehicle enabling drivers to react in time, reducing their speed, looking for alternate routes and increasing their awareness. In this sense, RISING contributes to the increase of road safety by broadcasting localised and real-time Traffic and Travel Information to vehicle drivers.

TV Audience Measurement Intelligent System - AMIS-TV - by Telefónica I+D

Abstract: Today’s TV Audiences Scenario: Different TV platforms: Satellite, Cable, TDT, DVB-H Consequences:

  • More channels -> Audience fragmentation
  • User interaction (possible with TDT) -> New challenges to measure the ‘share’ index.

Challenge: New process to achieve the highest quotes of share, knowing users preferences:

  • Daily measures from users monitors -> Huge amount of data collected (samples) from every user and day
  • Updating dynamically user’s profile from data collected from their terminals and from a characterization process (forms, surveys, etc).
