Content Aware Networked systems Towards Advanced and Tailored Assistance.

Reference: ITEA05010
Duration:   from 1/7/2006 to 30/6/2009 
 

The CANTATA project was a three year European Research Program sponsored via Eureka under the ITEA programme. More than 20 partners are involved split over 7 countries.

The general goal of CANTATA was to energize the European industry with respect to the development of content aware systems. This is based on the vision that there is a large industrial potential for such content aware systems. Where the Serket project is focusing on combining signals from a wide variety of sensors, CANTATA is focusing on multimedia streams. The content awareness fits also with long-term trends in the European society, such as the growing population of older people requiring more care and observation in security and healthcare aspects.
