The ACCORD project was a 2.5-year project ending in June 2003, funded under the Disappearing Computer proactive initiative of the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) key action of the Information Society Technologies Programme (IST) of the European Commission's community research. Partners were The Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Nottingham University, and Acreo.
The main aim of the ACCORD project is to develop facilities to construct, administer and manage future interactive home environments. We see the arrangement of interactive devices as the principle means of controlling the complexity inherent in domestic environments. We wish to realise dynamic and adaptive methods, techniques and facilities to allow inhabitants to evolve their own Tangible Interactive Environment.
