abstract = {The story that we present tries to take readers on a journey of technological marvel, and attempts to show a little view of what the future can be like. After all, the sky's the ceiling, and we are far from our limits. Our story develops the action in the Earth and mention Kepler 4b and Kepler 7B planets to show that distances there are not a problem anymore and everybody can travel from one planet to other like we do using the subway in a city. We do not get into the problems of analyse the specific physical characteristics of each planet neither to explain how humans achieve to live there. We only want to show that in a world of disruptive technologies and innovation, the imagination is and will always be a wonderful tool.},

abstract = {The story describes a world of the future in which there are two entirely different groups of people, one involved in the development and reproduction of the industrial base of the country and ruled by a centrally controlled virtual reality that is subject to constant innovation through a totally controlling fashion machine. The ruling group who control and maintain the other group have access to the full richness of the technology they administer and use to keep the world in order and are free to experience reality in an entirely different way. This is about the way that a breakdown in the system is dealt with and is told from the perspective of a third party observing these two groups.},

abstract = {This is a fictional story, which marries technological advances in the field of brain computer interfacing (BCI) with the writer's interest in music, film, sport and science fiction. It occurs in two years, at the time of the London Olympics. The technology mentioned in the story is either working in specialist laboratories around the world, or indeed is under development. The aspect whereby the BCI provides a telepathic duplex communication system between humans may be plausible sometime in the future, but currently is the realms of science fiction. The information provided as the context to the imagined dialog is true and can be evidenced by appropriate searching.},

abstract = {Environmental biodiversity, of flora and fauna, is a direct indicator of the general health of the environment and surrounding ecosystem. Ecologists expend a great deal of time and effort collecting this raw data, targeting key biotic indicator taxa, also called bio-indicators. However, methods for collecting bioindicator data largely remain a laborious, time-consuming and manual process. This paper proposes a visionary idea of developing an automated global sensor network for the collection of key bio-indicators, which is an inherently diverse and complex problem, spanning environmental extremes. We outline the ideas for our Automated Eye on Nature in the first part of the paper and then explore an application of the technology in our fictional prototype. The prototype explores potential social and cultural issues involved with deploying this technology which highlights possible complications, which might then be considered and usefully fed back into the initial design phase. We conclude with some open questions that consider how ecologists and other scientists might exploit the capabilities this envisioned technology provides.},

A prototype version of reception robot is developed at university of Essex for university open days and Features that are mentioned in this paper are mostly based on it. Another part of story is a discussion about consciousness in robots. In this part, it is aimed to provide a picture of consciousness and answer some questions about ethical problems that may occur in future in facing robots that look like human.},

abstract = {Technological advances in telehealth systems are primarily focused on sensing, monitoring and analysis. Intervention, behavior alternation and in general affecting change could use additional research and technology development. Persuasion technology and mechanisms are urgently needed to counter user resistance to change and promote healthy lifestyle. In this talk, I will summarize our ongoing research in the area of persuasive telehealth in the context of obesity and diabetes. I will cover an action-based behavior model that we proposed [1] to enable effective persuasion. I will also review existing technologies we believe are most suitable for implementing our behavior model and for enabling persuasive telehealth. One such promising technology is domestic robots [2]. I will demonstrate how the science fiction prototyping approach is being adopted to validate the effectiveness of the technology channel (domestic robots) and the overall model. The validation effort is an ongoing collaboration with Intel Digital Home group.},
