ISSUE 2 September 2010 IN THIS ISSUE: The Smarcos newsletter covers the consortium activities around the project. This second issue reviews Smarcos progress within its first six months of development. Introduction Work Packages Progress Introduction Latest Events The Smarcos project aims to help users of interconnected embedded systems by ensuring their interusability. Our results will be applicable to all embedded systems that interact with their users, which is a substantial fraction of todays market. The first Smarcos semester has just finished and all work packages are in good progress. It is worth mentioning that all scheduled deliverables have been completed on time and the planned milestones have been achieved.

This WP1 has completed its first goal by work package has concentrated on producing D.1.1 Initial Smarcos compiling initial use cases and business Requirements in order to set the basis models of the project. The report, D4.1 for the rest of the work in Smarcos. They Initial use cases and business are now busy with a study on the current models, will serve as a basis for deriving use of UI design methodologies in Smarcos- concrete user and system requirements and related industries. This study will be used as will identify service-oriented models and an input in D1.2 Prevailing UI design business impact of the deployed use cases. methodologies for interconnected embedded systems. The study has been divided into 2 main sections, first a set of interviews with relevant practitioners and then a more wide-spread survey based on the topics that have come up in the interviews. WP2: Interface, Interaction and Context Modelling. This work package has mainly focused on preparing their first deliverable, D2.1 Requirements & specifications for interusable UI models A workshop was held in Eindhoven where and context. It outlines requirements and 12 scenarios for behaviour change were specifications for modeling. It is composed generated. Cards from the 'Design with based on the analysis on Initial Smarcos Intent' method were used as inspiration. requirements and knowledge on models: UI, tasks, and contexts. WP3: Tools for Runtime UI & Context Composition. This work package has focused on the deliverable D3.1 Requirements for runtime methods and tools that identifies key requirements and technical enablers for realising context- aware systems in runtime environments. It is based on analysis of initial Smarcos requirements. We target runtime facilities www.smarcos-project.eu Page 2 of 4
