Abstract
WP 1 will identify emerging ICTs and likely areas of
applications of these technologies. The emerging ICTs
that ETICA is focusing on are those that are currently
being developed and hold a realistic potential to become
reality within the next 10 to 15 years. This limitation
is justified because established foresight methodologies
allow for claims using this horizon and also because
technology development programmes have a comparable time
frame. Such emerging technologies are very likely to be
found
in those academic and business projects where further
development of concepts such as ambient intelligence,
ubiquitous computing, autonomous systems, emotional
computing, location sensitive devices, service robotics,
convergence of ICT with other technologies, e.g.
nanotechnology, or human implants are done. A list of
such emerging technologies will be developed by Work
Package 1, which will be led by VTT in Finland and is
based on analysis of policies, strategies and visions
presented
in various available documents and resources related to
the ICT research and development. At the
same time when collecting a list of emerging ICTs we will
review the assumed application areas that are foreseen to
these technologies.
