PAMAP (Physical Activity Monitoring for Aging People) - The PAMAP-system represents an unobtrusive and fully mobile system that enables the accurate monitoring of the physical activities of aging people. The system bases on a set of tiny MEMS sensor units and corresponding software for professional and private use. It relies on a sound biomechanical model of the human body, and accurately measures the motion and efforts of the upper and lower limbs, thanks to appropriate parameterization.

Context Aware Printing

An architecture for accessing distributed services with Ricoh MFP using message oriented middleware. For the service discovery a recommendation system based on case-based reasoning methods is utilized. Therefore the main idea is to take the context of each user into consideration in order to suggest appropriate services.
