eCAALYX—Enhanced Complete Ambient Assisting Living Experiment (June 2009 - May 2012) is a three-year project funded by the European Commission under the AAL Joint Programme (Strategic Objectives addressed: ICT-based Solutions for Prevention and Management of Chronic Conditions of Elderly People). The project builds on the strengths of the infrastructure and functionality already developed in the original CAALYX FP6 project (2007-2008).

Today, I am pleased to announce the first release of the public section of the eCAALYX Web Portal:

http://ecaalyx.org/

It provides some useful introductory information about this important project, as well as a number of related news items and resource pointers.

All good wishes,

--Maged N. Kamel Boulos, eCAALYX Project Lead at the University of Plymouth (Enterprise Ltd), UK
