Project Description: AGAMEMNON is a project co-funded undert the IST 6th Framework Program of the European Commission, and it started on the 1st of January 2004.The duration is 30 months (finishing in June 2006), involving 6 international organisations, co-ordinated by TXT e-Solutions.

The project will lead to the development of an advanced 3G mobile application, that will act as an "on-line" guide to archaeological sites and museums, thanks to the new multi-media capabilities of the cellular phones. Visitors will be provided with enriched and personalised information on monuments and places of interest. Agamemnon will drive them through a personalised itinerary, created according to their interests and time available. The system will be also capable of recoginising specific monuments through the pictures taken by visitors with their mobile phones cameras. Agamemnon will also contribute to optimise the visith path (avoid over-crowding situations) and to the preservation of the site by sending images taken by visitors to site guardians.

The final prototype, available at mid 2006, will be capable of:

• Advanced user profiling based on static questionnaires and unobtrusive dynamic human behaviour/preferences analysis
• Profile-based, adaptive and proactive visit scheduling, also considering overcrowding avoidance analysis
• Relay on existing 3G phones and networks (i.e. UMTS, GPRS, etc..)
• Image analysis technology to identify users attention
• Personalised information delivery based on users attention and profile, leveraging on 3G services
• Voice-based commands interaction
• Active role played by the visitors in preserving the cultural heritage through specifically tagged pictures taking
