The University of Zaragoza has signed a collaboration agreement with the Aragonese Institute of promotion (lAF) of the Government of Aragon for the development of information technologies and communications in the Walqa Technology Park, Huesca through the Institute for research in engineering of Aragón in the field of ambient intelligence. In this way, the lAF will cooperate financially with the I3A during the period 2008-2010, part of a project considered to be of general interest to the autonomous community of Aragon.
With this agreement are to enhance the technologies of information and communication (technology ICT) in four lines: optical transmission and broadband; Robotics in network and communications in confined environments; wireless technologies and mobile communications; and multimodal human-machine interfaces. The Convention will make it possible to enhance the transfer of the results of the research in the field of ambient intelligence to society and the Aragonese, Spanish and international companies.
One of the three strategic divisions of the I3A is precisely dedicated to ambient intelligence, and she develops different lines of research, such as safe and intelligent vehicles, buildings and urban environments intelligent, and robotics for intervention and security in environments hostile and dangerous to people. Ambient intelligence is an area of great development at the global level, and this collaboration agreement will make it possible to apply and develop the results of the research in some of these lines in Walqa technology park.
