KEARNS ABSTRACT: Information and computing technologies (ICT) have under= gone extraordinary increases in the past 5 years. Computational systems pen= etrate every facet of the built environment, e.g., clothing, furnishings, p= ersonal items, transportation and home environmental control and security. = Increasingly, these embedded systems are integrated into large wired and wi= reless networks of devices which may extend over international boundaries. = High bandwidth networked applications in development include multipoint vid= eoconferencing using multicast IPv6 protocols, Telepresence, virtual realit= y simulations and remote sensing for gathering data in built environments.<= /p>
As ICT finds its way into homes worldwide, enhanced technological servic= es for the elderly develop including nutritional monitoring, safety and sec= urity, mental health and healthcare, environmental control, and communicati= ons. In this paper we describe different international networks serving the= academic community, realizing that today's academic networks are poised to= inform the public's computer networks of tomorrow. International networks = promise more uniform care standards for the elderly, increase the opportuni= ty for collaboration among researchers and educators tackling the difficult= problems associated with aging, including dementia, heart disease, diabete= s and obesity. Networks have the promise of enhancing outcomes by maximizin= g economies of scale by collecting research observations from multiple inte= rnational venues. New educational approaches to addressing the challenges o= f aging include virtual reality applications which simulate the impact of a= ging on young individuals. Monitoring individuals in their homes using ICT = and computer networks can impose significant responsibilities upon governin= g agencies.
