In this paper and presentation we describe: how the environmental constraints in a typical hospital (e.g., network security and privacy considerations) affect the design, how to use current speech recognition technologies to deliver acceptable levels of cognitive accuracy, how to connect various sensors and get their data correlated with speech input, how to interface with the hospitals’ information systems and building automation systems (e.g., to control HVAC systems), and how to design for solution enhancement and maintenance. We also illustrate other human factors for placement of microphones, speakers and controls in patient rooms for both ergonomic and hygienic reasons.

The goal of the panel is to help answer the question whether there can be one single solution or whether various (integrated) approaches are needed. The panel will also compare industrial solutions such as COM, DSOM, CORBA and OODCE with results that came out of academia. Finally, a set of questions will be answered by each panelist according to the approach he will propose.

Smart Road Maintenance can lead to more operational efficiency, timely response to citizens, and cost-effectiveness. Efficient and effective management and maintenance of a city’s road infrastructure not only improves the quality of life for its citizens, but also makes the city more attractive for business investment. The IBM Krakow SWG Laboratory, in the cooperation with AGH University of Science & Technology, Krakow and the city of Krakow, created an innovative solution for road maintenance problems. In this paper we describe the challenges currently faced by many cities in road maintenance and how one could bring low-cost, ubiquitous technology to help cope with those challenges. This project also exemplifies the Smarter Planet/Smarter Cities initiatives being promoted by IBM worldwide.
