Research@TK:

Telecooperation means targeted cooperation among humans and machines, based on information & communication technology. Ubiquitous Computing concepts enable a new era of Telecooperation, where humans are surrounded by zillions of networked computers that support all aspects of our daily life. Research@TK emphasizes cooperation of different kinds of parties:

  • humans – most of them not using a desktop PC
  • smart services - distributed context-aware software components
  • smart items of all kinds - wearable computers, appliances, "spaces", etc.
  • smart content - knowledge media based on multimedia documents & streams
