Regulatory Model for AAL

  • Conference paper
Soft Computing Models in Industrial and Environmental Applications, 6th International Conference SOCO 2011

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 87))

Abstract

In this work, authors define a set of principles that should be contained in context-aware applications (including biometric sensors) to accomplish the legal aspect in Europe and USA. Paper presents the necessity to consider legal aspect, related with pri-vacy or human rights, into the development of the incipient context based services. Clearly, context based services and Ambient Intelligence (and the most promising work area in Europe that is Ambient Assisted Living, ALL) needs a great effort in research new identification procedures.
