Cross Atlantic cooperation: Member of OxygenPhilips is actively involved in many joint activities. For
example, Philips Research is one of six companies collaborating with
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's computer science and
artificial intelligence laboratories, as part of MIT's Oxygen
Alliance. This aims to develop an infrastructure that brings an
abundance of computation and communications functions to users
through natural spoken and visual interfaces, making it easy for
people to work together, access knowledge and automate repetitive
tasks. At European levelPhilips is active in several European Ambient Intelligence
initiatives. As a member of ISTAG (Information Society and
Technologies Advisory Group) it is helping advise the European
Commission on the role of Ambient Intelligence within Europe's 6th
Framework Programme (FP6). Philips is also leading or involved in
several European projects, for example: Partnering R&D with academic and industrial organizationsResearch and development in this field often brings together
academic and industrial partners, as in the recently formed Ambient
Intelligence Research and Development consortium (AIR&D). In this
consortium the research organization of Philips works together with
INRIA (the French National Institute for Research in Computer
Science and Control) and Thomson Multimedia. By joining forces with
other motivated players in the consumer electronics and computer
science in this way, Philips is contributing towards a common
platform for Ambient Intelligence, putting together all necessary
capabilities and adding important momentum to these developments.
