Abstract
This document presents the different demonstration activities that will take place in the second half of the project. Demonstration activities range from technical and independent demonstrations per partner at exhibitions and conferences to organized large demonstration events at AAATE 2017 and another large conference.
The demonstration activities are very closely related to dissemination, training and exploitation activities and, thus, since the beginning of this workpackage (M18), close collaboration was sought and established with the respective teams to optimally serve each type of activities.
The actual demonstrations taking place and the proceedings for the large events at the conferences, including the feedback gathered by the visitors and attendees, will be included in the final version of this deliverable (M47).

1 Introduction
In this document we introduce the demonstration activities for the Prosperity4All project technologies and results. The main purpose is to first identify the project deliverables to be demonstrated, the targeted audience(s) for these deliverables and plan and execute (i.e. timelines) the demonstrations in the lifetime of the project for various events.
Building up a sustainable and growing ecosystem is envisaged to start happening right after the end of the project. However, the foundations should be laid and be in place in order for the infrastructure to be populated with different actors. Demonstration and dissemination activities will support such efforts for engaging external actors.
Many of the components and products that will be demonstrated in events and conferences during the lifetime of the project are not the products of the work carried out in the project but in other research efforts. This should be made clear in any demonstration taking place regardless the size, the audience(s), and the aims of the project. However, the demonstrations will showcase the improvements, changes, or additions that took place during the project.
In addition, there will be opportunities of independent and individual demonstrations by development teams documented already through dissemination activities, as presented in Tables 8 and 9.
Demonstrations are opportunities for external actors to interact and learn about the developments of the project with real hands-on experience. Demonstrations often are excellent training and dissemination activities. However, the content of demonstrations (either videos or physical) is not as detailed as training curricula are because the objectives are not the same. The important aspect of demonstrations is to show how the visitor can interact with the demonstrated technologies. This is a major reason why the work carried out within WP405 is the result of the collaboration with other three teams:
- Training team (training content and courses, online training platform management, and organizing training events, webinars and workshops);
- Dissemination team (record of conference attendance, promotion of project activities, creation of dissemination material, organizing dissemination events and open days, etc.);
- Exploitation team (working on how best to move the ideas out through virtual workshops and webinars and identify the benefits for external actors).
The demonstration activities will be organized in the last years of the project when the maturity of the developments allows for sharing them outside the boundaries of the project.

At this stage, the deliverable presents the plans for potential demonstrations to be carried out during the last years of the project and will be updated just before the end of the project (M47) with the actual activities, events and material (i.e. photos, links to demo videos, proceedings from the two major events, etc.).
1.1 Objectives The main aim is to demonstrate the viability of the major project’s deliverables to diverse stakeholder groups, such as commercial and industrial companies, vendors, user organizations, accessibility experts and professionals, researchers, AT developers and implementers, regional and EU authorities.
The activities described in this document aim to succeed the following:
- Identify the demonstration deliverables - Identify the potential audience(s) - Map and match types of events with demonstrations - Set a timeline and plan to be executed - Co-ordinate activities with training and dissemination teams to join forces and reach
optimal execution of diverse events
The different types of the demonstrations are explained and the potential for live and video demonstrations for the next phases of the project. However, the execution of demonstrations will be described in three different deliverables:
• Demonstration plan: this version of the deliverable is structured to present the demonstration plan, its goals and target groups for the demonstrations (D405.3 and later update).
• Demonstration material: the materials are the different types of demonstrations (physical, remote, videos), the ready-made version of the DemoToolkit that will be developed within the project and will be presented in D405.1 (M36).
• Demonstration website: the place where all the ready-made demonstration material will reside and it will enable remote demonstrations through webinars to take place (D405.2, M30).
• Feedback from interested parties, users and stakeholders: Preliminary feedback forms were created in order to collect feedback by visitors and attendees about the demonstrations and the project. The purpose is not only to measure the acceptance of the demonstrations by external users and professionals but indirectly investigate the future potential for these developments and for the ecosystem. These forms can be found in Annex B.

1.2 Contribution to the overall architecture The demonstration events and opportunities do not directly contribute to the overall architecture but they communicate the work performed towards creating the infrastructure and the infrastructure itself.
Thus, demonstration activities contribute to the creation of the future ecosystem and the attraction of diverse actors to interact with it after the end of the project. During the demonstration activities, feedback will be collected by attendees about their experiences and interactions with the demonstrated components, products and project deliverables.
The collected feedback will be further communicated to responsible partner teams and they could use to improve and enrich the infrastructure. Collecting feedback during international events can play a role towards the internationalization process of the project including other type of benefits and advantages for the project through collaboration and exchange of experiences with people attending events and conferences.
The focus of the first version of this deliverable is to identify the key aspects of the demonstration activities, create a timeline of proposed activities in order to organize and track the taking place of any related events and activities.
Proposing a timeline and identifying the needs for demonstration will be used as a guide for the videos to be prepared, the DemoToolKit and the demo website. The timeline will be updated in the final version of the deliverable to present the actual timelines for organized events and attended conferences including the proceedings.

1.3 Challenges The complexity of the project and the fact that the overall product of the project will be the infrastructure makes it difficult to firstly envisage the potential directions of its growth and, thus, the selection of the “big picture” demonstration. These are the demonstrations of the ecosystem concept from the perspective of potential actors.
The overview demonstrations by no means can be exhaustive but they have to be inclusive; i.e. they will be meant to reflect the openness, porousness of the ecosystem and its flexibility, as established in the SP1 activities.
2 Overall approach
The Prosperity4All demonstration plan aims to inform potential future user groups and key stakeholders outside the consortium and attract them to interact with several parts and products of the infrastructure. The following pyramid (Figure 2) shows that demonstrations are a passive learning method with 30% for retention of the information acquired; hence it is the most efficient method for learning without having actually to engage in the learning process. Meaning demonstrations are an excellent method for showcasing the developments and technologies of the project. It should be kept in mind though that memory retrieval is affected by so many factors and variables and the interpretation of the learning pyramid should be done with caution.

The audiences are the potential actors of the ecosystem that can be very loosely

clustered around the following categories: • Developers and implementers • Users with accessibility needs • Experts, academia and decision makers (i.e. re-users of information created by the
ecosystem) for industries, public, etc. • Vendors and professional organizations • End user and caregiving organizations
These categories will be aligned with the dissemination Targeted Audience Groups (TAGs). The potential for interchangeable roles (e.g. a blind developer) that may use and enter the infrastructure by different entry points depending on context-of-use and goal of interaction will be a priority for the demonstration scenarios prepared, especially for large and major events.
An incremental approach is adopted where the number of demonstrable project deliverables will increase over time with anticipated flexibility in the number and types of demonstrations to be presented.
These demonstrations will target to show:
• The use of an SP2 component and its potential (technical characteristics, specifications, etc.)
• The use of an SP2 component for improving an SP3 products’ accessibility or the addition of a functionality, etc.
• The business scenarios created within the project (by utilizing the personae developed within SP1 and examples of work carried out within the project, e.g. an SP3 commercial product integrating an open-source SP2 component)
• The core parts of the infrastructure and the concept of the ecosystem (overview “Big Picture” demonstrations).
The demonstrations can be either individual and specific or general and presenting the whole concept of the project and the efforts put to create a viable and self-sustainable ecosystem. The latter will be demonstrated in larger events at conferences and Open Days.
The project will demonstrate the developments and knowledge produced by the project in four main directions:
• Internally – among project partners.
• In the Prosperity4All official website, the demo site, and partners’ websites and the project official websites and affiliated groups (e.g. GPII website).
• Externally – to new developer communities and stakeholders in order to expand and promote the project and its developments across European and beyond. • Externally – to European institutions, such as the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions and the European Parliament, that have supported and continue to support

ICT related events and explore the possibilities to actively participate in a conference with focus on Internet of Things (IoT) large-scale studies, European level stakeholders such as NGOs, organizations, other European organizations and other industrial and commercial players in the field of ICT technologies, inclusion research and assistive technologies.
The enabling process of an ecosystem can serve as a great opportunity for the European research community to gather large datasets during the growing process that could be anonymously but openly available to any actors. Much of the effort is aimed at creating positive attitudes towards facing and resolving any challenges in the creation of this infrastructure and assisting in inducing a "spirit" of engagement and commitment from all levels of engagement (internally and externally to the project).
The completion of the feedback forms will be an opportunity to investigate reasons for interacting with different demonstrations, the potential use of these technologies to representatives of different user groups and last but not least which will be the highlights and the “attractors” for the users. Probably they will differ per audience but then again clustering into groups of interests might be possible.
These pieces of information are important also for our exploitation and final dissemination plans and the unofficial feedback gathered by partners for the events they will choose to participate or the project dissemination activities they will attend.
The following diagram presents the backbone of the demonstration plan about the content of demonstration activities and the different types of activities.

The demonstrations will exhibit, illustrate and present the developments completed within the Prosperity4All projects.
Demonstration will be showcased in the following events:
• Conferences are a perfect opportunity to disseminate the outcomes of the project and present the developments, either with a stand or a dedicated session. Relevant conferences were selected (either as stated in DoW and/or presented in the dissemination plan deliverable). Conferences are also suggested per development to assist partners in selecting the appropriate conference to attend. Additionally, a list of interesting conference is added in Annex A. This list will be continuously updated and shared with partners.
• Remote demonstrations will be carried out in webinars dedicated to share knowledge with other stakeholders (primarily developers and implementers) about the development work carried out within the project and the possibilities for use of the SP2 building blocks for improving other products. These online and remote sessions will be carried out for specific demonstrations and will target specific groups. The remote demonstrations will be able to take place through the online demo site or other programmes (e.g. GoToMeeting application).
• Videos (long or potato chips) will reside in the demonstration site (part of the official Prosperity4All website) and will be easily accessed. These demo videos will be viewed by anyone who visits the website.
• Training webinars will take place where participants will be introduced to components and products and learn how to use them. Demonstrations are necessary for training to take place, especially for integration training activities.
A list of conferences are annexed that they are opportunities for partners to present their work (Annex A). These conferences were matched to the technical, content and contextual characteristics of SP2 and SP3 deliverables that could serve as opportunities to demonstrate and disseminate their work completed within this project.
Demonstration activities will serve as attractors for different stakeholder groups; therefore the selection of demonstrations will be mapped to the conferences and events.
These plans will serve as a guide for partners to organize and conduct small events at their premises and select the most appropriate conferences for their components and products.
A table was created to connect the different types of demonstrations, the different types of events and the different groups of stakeholders.
As the maturity of the developments increases, technical partners will be ready to demonstrate their work progress to different conferences and events. This table will help partners cluster suggested conferences, events, webinars and open days in relation to other training and dissemination activities.
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu

This table will be personalized by each partner wishing to demonstrate their work with proposed conference, events types and dates, workshops and open days for suggested conferences and events to be attended and held the last two years of the project.
The personalization of the table will be achieved through the distribution of a template (Table 1) to be frequently completed by partners (i.e. on a monthly basis accompanying the dissemination update requests). Therefore, each partner will complete the following table in order to gather their demonstration needs and interests for the last two years of the project. Table 1. Template for collecting the demonstration plans from partners
The demonstrations can be videos, physical and remote demonstrations. Videos are powerful, immediate and memorable communication and demonstration channels. Moreover, they have no set up requirements, no technical knowledge is required and no crashes are anticipated. For the later, they will be available via the demo site, the DemoToolKit, the social networks, the Prosperity4All YouTube channel, the training platform, as part of the courses, the core parts of the architecture, as stories from the partners to the future users.
Each demonstration material created within the project will be described based on the following characteristics:
Name: short identification and unique name for referencing in the demo site and toolkit
Method and media: Demonstration method used (e.g. video, physical, etc.)
Goals: the objectives set by the demonstrator and the messages they wish to communicate
Audience: targeted user groups as defined in section 2.1 and taking into consideration also the dissemination groups (i.e. TAGs)s
Description: A very short description for referencing and cataloguing the material
Duration: expected approximate duration for physical demonstration and exact duration for ready-made solution (i.e. videos)
Complexity: Complexity refers to both pre-established levels of complexity with regards to technical expertise and involved technologies but also the complexity as stated by the responsible teams (i.e. both subjective and objective)
Equipment: technical specifications and required equipment to carry out the demonstration

2.1 Targeted Audiences The Prosperity4All audiences and the actors interacting with the ecosystem can actually be anybody and it is difficult to be clustered in groups of actors. Moreover, an actor can play more than one roles that they may change depending on the entry-point they choose. For example, if they choose to enter the resources of the GPII DeveloperSpace then they might be a developer who wants to learn about accessibility for starting their own professional record and they may have their own accessibility need that makes them to search for customized solutions in the Open MarketPlace in the Unified Listing. These dynamics are important to be considered when creating the overview videos- near the end of the project- to support the deployment of the infrastructure prototype.
Therefore, the classifications that follow serve as operational guidelines than actual actors’ clustering.
• People with accessibility need to find out that they will now have an opportunity to get a solution, application, service (human or machine-based) tailored to the personal, individual needs and preferences and that there is place to search for such solutions, even when they have limited digital literacy and addresses both early and later adopters.
• Developers and implementers who wish to learn about accessibility, about places to find resources, information, components and help them customize existing solution and have the opportunity to be part of a community when everyone can serve the one.
• Research and University professionals working on research and ICT projects that are (and not) related to accessibility that will benefit from knowledge and data that result from Prosperity4All. These are the re-actors and the professionals who will be interested in the outputs of the infrastructure and innovations they could host and produce by being part of it.
• Those can be surely benefit from all knowledge generated by Prosperity4all and incorporate it in their developments.
• Vendors, commercial companies, and the IT industry, AT developers in general to be informed about the possibilities offered by the project’s platform, its value for them and the potential it has for reducing development costs and offering them a larger market reach by developing/using open-source and accessibility technologies.
• User, care organizations, professional organizations, disability organizations, accessibility working groups and organizations will be able to investigate the
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
18
potential of the Prosperity4All infrastructure, accessibility and design guidelines, resources, and the tools that allow end-users to connect with developers.
• Formal and informal caregivers can find a place when they will be able to search and find services for people they care for and, especially formal caregivers will be able to offer their services through the Assistance on Demand (AoD) infrastructure. They can use then the infrastructure as a mean to find clients. Similarly, informal carers can feel secure that there are places where they can find services without them needing to be highly ICT literate. This is an opportunity for informal caregivers to improve their own Quality of Life and the persons’ they care for.
• Regional and European authorities shall recognize the benefits for all involved
parties, such a cost reduction, increase market share, augmented virtual interaction and connection points and hubs for users and developers, etc. They may define requirements that an ecosystem has to fulfil and serve.
The aforementioned user groups will be targeted, invited and attracted in events the project will organize from the already identified in D502.1.2 “Dissemination plan” (page 22). Table 3. Identified players (actors) per dissemination Target Audience Groups (TAG)
3 Demonstrations
For the demonstration activities that will be prepared for selected user groups, the content and the demonstration method might differ compared to the general and concept demonstrations. The demonstration locations and venues will mostly comply with the chosen dissemination and training events. The actual demonstrations of the SP2 components and their use by the SP3 implementations will be in most cases performed by the teams themselves, especially when the targeted audience includes developers and related professionals.
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu

3.1 Video demonstrations Demonstrations through videos are an easy method to view, understand and comprehend the purpose and use of an SP2/SP3 development. Viewers can watch the videos as many times as they wish and they serve well the purposes of the project where agility in development characterizes its processes and progress.
Video are divided into “potato chips” and longer, technical videos. The first type will be short, fast-paced and to-the-point videos, lasting no more than 2 minutes, aiming to be used as attractors and linked out to the website, the Prosperity4All social networks, GPII Developer Space.
The second video types are created as tutorials and will serve workshop and training purposes. They will be in depth, last longer and focus on certain aspects of the development process (e.g. use of AsteRICs suite to create/adjust a user model). These videos will mostly target developers and professionals.
These will be publicly available through the demo website and the Prosperity4All YouTube channel. This channel will be linked to the demo website and many of these material will be part of the DemoToolKit that will be available both online and offline. By these means, the information will be always accessible by interested parties regardless of internet connection.
The “ready-made” videos – apart from residing to the demo website will be shared via the Prosperity4All social networks (i.e. LinkedIn, Twitter).
3.2 Physical and live demonstrations
Physical demonstrations actually involve each partner responsible for a technical deliverable presenting their developments to a larger audience with the possibility of one-to-one interactions. Live demonstrations can be physical but they might also be carried out remotely when partners cannot attend an event or during a virtual workshop or webinars.
These demonstrations are more time consuming and require, in some cases, installations and special software that responsible partners have to bring with them to the venue. However, the richness and the complexity of information can actually have a pedagogical aspect that videos sometimes cannot cover. Partners will be there to answer questions arisen by visitors and the richness of interaction can only be surpassed by actually conducting training seminars. Physical demonstrations will be structured following a pre-determined agenda.
On one hand, it is an opportunity for the project teams to interact with external actors - that could become the enablers for the Prosperity4All ecosystem -and, on the other hand, for visitors to learn about not only the project outcomes, outputs and achievements but also learn about the value and the benefits of being part of the ecosystem and/or using the project’s developments.
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu

Therefore, the demonstrations need to have the following characteristics in order to be accepted by the visitor:
• Easy to understand and learn; • Short chunks of information; • Clear and consistent presentation; • Highlight the value propositions in an “easy-to-digest” mode; • Place emphasis on size and qualities of market reach; • Improvements and value of working in Prosperity4All.
The attendees should be inspired and encouraged to participate and become part of it. Therefore, the work carried out within SP1 (interviews with different actor groups and resulting personae) and the evaluation activities (SP4; defining of main dimensions for interaction and value for actors) and later the whole infrastructure assessment (WP404 activities) will be considered for developing the demonstration scenarios for each development to be included in the final version of this deliverable.
Demonstrations are often used in training courses and curricula as well as in dissemination activities and the boundaries among them are not very clear and transparent. Demonstrations can be part of the training activities for external implementers and training end-users before the WP403 evaluation activities, giving participants the opportunity to interact with the implementation or other part of the infrastructure. In addition, demonstration is actually a perfect dissemination “vehicle” for visitors to actually interact with any of the project’s products. However, demonstration activities present only a part of the work, they are just a glimpse, hence, it should be the most representative glimpse. Videos can be used during training to show stepwise completion of a task and they are useful in evaluation sessions.
However, the remote virtual site will act as an active demonstration center to enable immediate and remote access to be accessed by anyone, everywhere and every time such a need arises.
Demonstrations fall to the following categories:
- Demonstrations of the whole infrastructure from the perspective of the main actor categories (developers, user with accessibility need, stakeholder), i.e. showing the different parts, the offered functionalities and the content characteristics. The demonstration activities for each part of the core infrastructure will be a great opportunity to attract users;
- Demonstration of the ecosystem concept, the enabling of the infrastructure and the utilization of the SP1 personae and use cases to create interaction and value scenarios for each one of the major cluster of actors and one with a combination of user profiles (e.g. a developer with an accessibility need);
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
21
o The potential business scenarios will be demonstrated with examples (e.g. adding an improved product to the Unified Listing);
- Demonstration of SP2 components developed within the framework of the project; - Demonstration of SP3 products improved or made more accessible with
using/integrating SP2 components.
The exact demonstrations and their profiles will be briefly presented in the final version of this deliverable and in the DemoToolKit deliverable (D405.1; M34).
3.3 Core parts of infrastructure demos The demonstrations of the core parts of the infrastructure include those parts that are of core importance for building the infrastructure and are the following:
• The DeveloperSpace • The Unified Listing and OpenMarketplace • The Assistance on Demand infrastructure
These parts will be available to be demonstrated as separate parts and as a combination in the DemoToolkit.
In the following table, the options for the final demonstrations of the core architectural parts of the infrastructure that may be demonstrated separately in various events are shown. Showcasing them together strengthens the understanding of the ecosystem for visitors attending these conferences and combinations should be considered, especially for teams that already work together.
Apart from the main parts, the business models proposed for a sustainable and growing ecosystem need also to be presented with the rest of the architectural parts.

3.3.1 Tutorials and demo content
Demonstration activities are closely linked with training activities as they can be complementary or prerequisite (i.e. training events require a demonstration of the development).
3.3.1.1 Use of Training platform
The training platform will be used and respective training courses for the project deliverables will be available to be used during training webinars and implementer’s workshops to complement the demonstration activities and enable participants to further learn about the use of these tools in their work or daily lives. The training platform will serve as examples of integration or use of SP2 components.
3.3.1.2 DemoToolKit and the virtual demo site
The DemoToolKit (DTK) will be a ready-made demonstration solution that will include videos and s/w (wherever relevant) of the core parts of the infrastructure, the business cases of the project for three different user groups. This means that the DTK will be created and packaged in such a way that can be used by developers, people with accessibility needs and other organizations.
The DTK will tell a story for each one of the aforementioned user groups based on the respective SP1 personae and use cases incorporating business suggestions for each one of them. The purpose of the DTK is to be used easily by all partners without any training or technical “know-how”.
DTK will require minimal or no installation and can be easily stored. The content, structure and layout are planned to be defined and included in 405.1 (M36).
3.3.1.3 Demo set ups
The responsible teams will define all necessary technical setting up specifications that are necessary to be covered and fulfilled in order for physical or remote demonstrations to take place. The technical specifications and requirements will be annexed in the final version of this deliverable.

3.4 Technical demos of SP2 components and SP3 products Technical demonstrations of the isolated developments have already been demonstrated in conferences and events but these were not the final version of the demonstrations.
The following table presents the demonstrations, workshops and webinars organized in the two first years of the project against project’s success criteria. A list of workshops conducted in the first years of the project is presented in Tables 8 and 9.

3.4.1 Tutorials and demo content
The demonstrations of specific components or SP3 integrations can be demonstrated in conferences for disseminating the work of involved partners but also as part of tutorials and workshops to transfer acquired knowledge when working with a new component, infrastructure or development environment or suite. Some unofficial tutorials already took place as part of the collaboration between SP2 and SP3 teams. The technical demonstrations will be showcased to developers and implementers through events and regional workshops. It is anticipated that at least four different SP2 components from the following list will be presented in the 3rd and 4th year of the project.
In addition, the SP2 components will also presented in at least two events and two large workshops. The demonstration specifications for each SP2 component can be shown in the following table (Table 6). The names of the personae used are not defined because they will keep on evolving as potential actors would do when interacting with the ecosystem. Only their categorization (i.e. developer, person with accessibility need, etc.) is defined in the following table and likewise for the rest of these types of tables in the document. All SP2 components can be presented in all types of events (i.e. location in Table 6). However, optimal demonstration is selected for each components and it is proposed since not all
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
28
components have been the outcome of work performed within the project and not all demonstration modes are appropriate or relevant.
Prosperity4All partner, University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, held a workshop/demo on Prosperity4All/GPII and AsTeRICS with a separate stand (Figure 4) at the International Workshop on Enhanced Living EnvironMENTs, ELEMENT-2015.
Figure 4. The Prosperity4All stand at the ELEMENT 2015 Conference
Many stakeholders in the field of AAL showed great interest on the demo.
Table 7 presents the implementations taking place within SP3 and some of demonstrations already complete. However, most of the demonstration activities will probably take place later than any SP2 related demonstrations, as most of them are not ready yet and are being improved within the framework of the project.
Demonstrations of the SP3 implementations will be used as true attractors of the developments that the ecosystem will offer when it will be publicly deployed. They will serve as the internal “success stories” to be disseminated to companies and developer communities across the globe.
The implementations are grouped under certain daily activities and their impact should be shown clustered into these daily living activities they target to improve for people with accessibility needs. In addition, the SP1 personae will be used to highlight the different combinations these persons might have and, thus, showcase how the project progresses and the infrastructure is being built for addressing the needs of people with more complex needs and requirements. The showcase is not only about accessibility and making products accessible (or improve existing accessibility) but customizing potential to cover their needs that are not covered by massively produced AT products.
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
29
In these tables, only the directly organized attendances are added. As the SP2 and SP3 implementations are not yet in their final versions, therefore the activities suggested in timeline will be revisited during the last two years of the project by actively arranging short meetings with responsible teams to update the information included in this deliverable accordingly.

3.4.1.1 Use of Training platform
The training courses that will be uploaded in the training platform will be able to be used for training others in the use of a specific component for a specific usage. They could be used in conjunction to the resources available at GPII DeveloperSpace and/or any other instructions and tutorials prepared by the SP2 teams for the specific team(s) that will integrate and/or use their components. Technical demonstrations can act like tutorials, therefore the existing training material and courses will be available for when the large demonstration events take place.
3.4.1.2 DemoToolKit and the virtual demo site
The DemoToolKit will comprise read-made short video presenting the SP2 and SP3 developments during the project and a few videos about the core parts of the infrastructure and the concept of the ecosystem. It will not need any installation or internet connection as it will be available offline. It will be supported by read.me files and tutorials and links to all parts and spaces that interested stakeholders can find information, training material and resources about the components and accessibility.
The DemoToolKit will always reside and the virtual demo site and will be available and open to be downloaded by internal partners and external interested users. It is aimed to be used for dissemination purposes and by partners who do not have the technical expertise. The information will be simple and comprehensible by no technical individuals and accessible.
The content, structure and layout are planned to be included in 405.1 (M36).
3.4.1.3 Demo set ups
Demonstration of SP2 components and SP3 products will be set up by the responsible partners to be presented in the events. Setting up the demonstration will have technical and setting up requirements. This section will be enriched with specifications for demonstrations that can be carried out by other partners when the responsible teams cannot attend (for those demonstrations it is feasible to do so).

Workshops in events will focus mostly on physical demonstrations of the SP2 components and SP3 implementations. However, workshops at events organized as sessions will be recorded and can be used (after editing) as long and detailed videos showcasing integration and development work.
Workshops will be disseminated through the Prosperity4All website: http://www.prosperity4all.eu/outcomes/training/workshops/
Currently, not all partners have completed their implementations; therefore, any demonstration activities are treated as planned and proposed to internal partners. The actual and final events will be included in the final version of this deliverable.
4.1 Objectives These workshops will be an opportunity for stimulating interactive awareness and developing sessions using participatory methodologies in order to help developers to use the SP2 components for improving and/or making their products more accessible. These
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
42
sessions will be carried out with small groups of developers (groups of 5-10 participants). Already carried out workshops have been designed, organized and conducted in collaboration between the SP2 and SP3 teams resulting in networking and teambuilding between the teams. Such workshops could also act as knowledge and innovation generators for future working groups and liaisons with similar projects.
4.2 Plans Apart from the regional and teambuilding workshops carried out internally in the project, other workshops will be organized to be held in large conferences in order to demonstrate not only the technical work performed within the project but how the collaboration between teams can work in agile development environments.
These workshops will run during events held at conferences, individual events that partners will organize, and the Open Days at the pilot sites.
4.2.1 Events at conferences
Participation of project partners at conferences, exhibitions and project workshops is aimed at bringing together the project consortium with potential users, who could be interested in using project results and joining the GPII Prosperity4All ecosystem, being developed within the project. The events will be organized in conjunction with dissemination and other gatherings (WP502).
The consortium will sought to organize two major events at two large conferences, the last two years of the project. The events will be carried out as project sessions with separate stands where partners will be able to demonstrate their developments and a special event with separate session dedicated to demonstrating the concept of the project for a sustainable and growing ecosystem, present the User Design Model, the major outcomes of the project and several presentations prepared for the purposes of the event session. The two major events will be held at AAATE 2017 and another large conference-as one event was already carried out in HCII 2014- in order all core parts to be mature enough for showcasing.
For these events, demonstrations of the core architectural parts and business modelling based on the SP1 personae and relevant demonstration scenarios will be prepared. The demonstration scenarios will be based on the Use Cases of the selected SP1 personae. However, they cannot be prepared at the moment because the core architectural prototypes are currently being developed.
These events will include a round table discussion that will be an opportunity to discuss the future potential of the ecosystem, any identified issues and hindrances. In addition, external
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
43
contributors can be identified and collaboration for extending and supporting the growth of the ecosystem might take place.
Separate demonstrations will take place at dedicated stands, preferably outside the event room, where interactive sessions will take place between the SP2/SP3 teams and guests.
Feedback will be collected via feedback forms (generic forms per actor type can be found in Annex B). A list of participants will be recorded and any guests will be able to receive further information about the project and be part of the Prosperity4All community (i.e. receive credentials for core parts of the architecture they might show interest for).
Two more events will be organized targeting commercial developers at two important conferences and organize an implementer’s workshop in each for selected SP2 components and demonstrations of selected SP3 implementations based on their maturity and potential for impact within the project (i.e. number of use by internal partners). These two conferences will be selected by the list of suggested conferences shown in Table 6.
The final selection of the conferences will be reached by M26 for logistics and organization will start soon after.
An international policy event will be organized the WSIS Conference to attract EC representatives and policy makers, stakeholders (e.g. actors interested in using the information and outcomes of the project), mainstream and ICT industry, developers that they are active in disability and accessibility.
All events will be disseminated through the Prosperity4All official website, partners’ websites, the project’s social networks, the official conference site and Eventbrite website.
Participation in these events will be sought in collaboration with the dissemination team to contact the conference organizers and identify the demonstration content and technical requirements, prepare the event agenda and take care of all related logistics in time.
4.2.2 Events at partner’s sites
The events at partners’ sites will be carried out when a need arises. Single technical demonstrations (e.g. a stand) can be showcased in the conferences proposed for each SP2 and SP3 partner. Apart from the ones already attended and already scheduled by partners, the rest act as suggestions for partners to investigate demonstration opportunities related to the nature, content and attending audiences probably interested to their developments.
Besides events happening when partners believe are necessary or useful to organize at regional/national level, events will take place during the pilot sites’ Open Days.
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
44
4.2.3 Virtual workshops
Two virtual workshops will be conducted after the third year of the project when the project developments are mature enough. Virtual workshops will be conducted through the demo site and the GotoMeeting application used by Prosperity4All partners. Virtual workshops are not very different from webinars with regards to the selected communication channel but their focus slightly changes. During the workshops emphasis is placed on participants having an active experience and attendees are usually instructed/ guided. Webinars will focus mostly on presenting the developments and the work performed during the project but the focus will be mostly to demonstrate and inform the audiences about the developments. Webinars and virtual workshops will happen online and partners will be able to choose them for presenting the developments that need really complicated hardware and software installations or when a living lab is required to actually showcase the demonstration scenario (.e.g. integration of components for smart home applications). Virtual workshops will be a productive communication channel for investigating the exploitation strengths, weakness and potentials of the project developments, including the Prosperity4All infrastructure.
4.3 Timeline of events
This timeline of events includes both planned and suggested demonstrations at events (e.g. large conferences) and regional smaller events organized for this purpose or include Prosperity4All developments in the demonstrated developments among others. This timeline is not definite and final. It will be continuously updated with information based on the input gathered by partner based on a monthly template (as an online form) to be circulated to partners.
The following diagram presents the timeline for all demonstration activities, including the number and rationale for the workshops with implementers based on DoW requirements and number (and maturity) of project developments.

Open Days will be held at pilot sites before the beginning of the first and second evaluation phase with end-users (WP403). In total 8 regional Open Days will be conducted within the duration of the project in the 4 pilot sites. In particular, the Open Days will be an opportunity to invite diverse actors (national companies, vendors, representatives of local academia, end-user groups) and present the work carried out in the project in native language. An additional benefit is that Open Days will allow for interested parties to investigate possibilities to collaborate with partners at the pilot sites.
The research teams attending the Open Days will have the opportunity to really engage with external guests in face-to-face discussions, as they will last the whole day.
Invitation letters and participation forms will be sent out at least three months before - depending on the nature, size, and demands of the event- the Open Days, scheduled before the onset of WP403 pilots.
5.1 Objectives These Open Days will be an opportunity for partners and institutes to showcase the Prosperity4All deliverables, sometimes in the context of other developments and research labs, where the developments of the project have taken place. The objective of the Open

Days is not only to attract people to interact and learn about the project and the work performed but also discuss with partners about their own experiences and potentially to establish collaborations to further support the Prosperity4All ecosystem. Open Days will be held at each pilot site before the onset of pilots with end-users.
5.2 Plans The Open Days will be conducted the last one and a half year of the project. The premises at each pilot site will be open for one whole day and the partners will make use of personae and use cases to incorporate the developments to a Prosperity4All narrative representative of the project outcomes, the context and venue characteristics.
The pilot sites that will organize Open Days are the official pilot sites and these are the following:
• Austrian pilot site (LFTL)
LFTL is a non-profit research organization founded by Diakonie Austria and the Austrian Institute of Technology. It is dedicated to research and development in the fields of assistive technology and special needs, and is responsible for the non-profit consultation network in Austria, Serbia and the Czech Republic. LFTL concentrates on the selection, production, distribution and evaluation of innovative information and communication devices.
Specifically, LFTL will organize the Austrian pilot, inviting end-users (recruitment, technical set-up, trial operations) to its barer-free consultation room. The same room could be used for the pilot site ‘Open Days”. This ambience features:
• a cozy homey atmosphere • wireless as well as cable-based internet connection (high bandwidth) • multiplatform devices (Mac OS, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux) • access to a dazzling array of assistive technology devices • presentation equipment (beamer, smart board, flipchart, computers)
Figure 6. LFTL facilities

• German pilot site (KIT)
The Study Centre for the Visually Impaired Students (SZS) is a cross faculty service and research facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). As part of the university, the SZS assists blind and partially sighted students, particularly in the completion of the study courses offered at KIT. Strategic components of the work of SZS include beyond this service offerings and research. Facilities exist that host a range of assistive technologies particularly for this user group. Accessible workstations exist for parallel testing. An extension of those facilities is planned in the near future. As supervisors/conductors our support center stuff has long-term experience on the one hand in making IT and AT accessible to visually impaired and on the other in preparing testing guidelines and tutorials for different accessibility studies.
• Greek pilot site (CERTH)
The Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT) is part of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) which is a non-profit organization under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, Sport and Culture and it is based in Thessaloniki.
The Domotics Lab, the Driving simulator Lab and the heavily instrumented research vehicle will be used for the Open Days to demonstrate the SP3 implementations of CERTH/HIT and the SP2 components of CERTH/ITI.
Figure 7. The Domotics Lab (CERTH)
• Spanish pilot site (ILUNION and FONCE)
ILUNION and FONCE have worked with many users in the last decade. The collaboration of ILUNION and ONCE Foundation makes available thousands of users for participating at regional events and Open Days. There is a possibility the Open Day to be carried out where the evaluations take place, at the FONCE building at the center of Madrid that is easily accessible to users and stakeholders.

5.3 Audiences The targeted audiences will be mixed and all types of stakeholders are targeted. However, focus will be shifted towards the participants’ types to be recruited during pilots and the user groups that will be most interested to the demonstrated technologies being developed at each site and the respective laboratories.
In particular, invitations will be sent out to key national stakeholders well in advance, including the following type of organizations:
• End-user organizations • SMEs and large IT companies • ICT business and consultancy companies • Accessibility fora and communities • Key governmental agencies
5.4 Open days website The Open Days website will utilize the following online sites:
• The official Prosperity4All website where the open days will be disseminated and invitation form will be easily accessible to all potential users;
• The demo site: where attendees will have access to available physical terminals at different parts/rooms of the premises to interact with them but also to remotely connect for those who will not be able to attend but to get access to the premises and the open research facilities (wherever this will be feasible and possible);
• The actual institute’s/organization’s website to disseminate the Open Days; • The Prosperity4All social networks to disseminate the open days and events. The
latter holds true for all type of events.
Two or more stands will be set (one at the entrance and another one at the site’s research lab/meeting room) where all the Prosperity4All dissemination channels will be openly available to the public.
5.4.1 Content, layout and specifications
The demonstrations specifications will be in coherence with the rationale, ethos and “look and feel” of the other parts developed and designed within the project. This holds true also for the videos to be prepared.
The ready-made solutions (i.e. video, DemoToolKit and virtual demo site) will be accessible and linked out to major project sources of information (i.e. website) and achievements (i.e. GPII DeveloperSpace whenever relevant).
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
49
The demonstration guidelines for content, layout and specifications will fall into the following categories that apply to the design and structure of the training platform (discussed also in D502.3).
5.5 Timeline of related activities Managing, monitoring, and updating this timeline is a process similar to the timeline prepared for events and conferences but the aim is the identification of common activities with dissemination, exploitation and training. It serves as a suggestion not only for the involved teams but for the whole consortium to start organizing any events and preparing the necessary material.
For example, any invitations to be sent out for an event that serves exploitation activities will focus on the demonstrations that will be the backbone of exploitation plans, the selected parts that may have certain exploitation value and weight and target groups and actors and stakeholders most interested to such parts. Therefore, the reason, the content and the audiences will define the processes and organizational steps and the materials prepared and used to achieve the desired effect and demonstration objectives, as set in Figure 5.
5.6 Final demonstration event
The final demonstration event will be held centrally in Europe and will coincide with the ending of the project. The final demonstration event will actually be the final dissemination event of the project with key note speakers and invited speakers from the Advisory Board and the Prosperity4All Collaborative Network.
The final demonstration event will be the final “Open Day”, acting as a place and time for demonstrating the whole infrastructure in its final prototype form and the visitors could be the potential “O” population for the ecosystem. Any feedback collected will be used to further enable the smooth transition of the infrastructure to the “ecosystem-to-be”. Representation of all Targeted Audience Groups (TAGs) is sought to achieve representation of actors with interchangeable roles.
The scenarios will showcase the potentials for interaction among user groups and the value for these interactions. The difference in the scenarios and SP1 personae used will be their true value for moving forward and will focus on realistic attractors for each user groups. Guidance for choosing the attractors (either in scenarios or personae) will be given by the SP1 and SP4 teams based on the evaluation activities and the progress of personae during the lifetime of the project. Each user group’s perspective (e.g. developer, a developer with an accessibility need) need to be structure in such a way that highlights how the ecosystem
Ecosystem infrastructure for smart and personalised inclusion and PROSPERITY for ALL stakeholders www.prosperity4all.eu
50
(i.e. the internal mechanisms) can cover the needs of person who might play more than one roles in the ecosystem and then it should be demonstrated.
Organization of the final event will start 6 months prior the meeting to ensure optimal execution. Invitations will be sent out not only to identified stakeholders but to H2020 projects with similar aims and objectives to ensure a viable transfer of knowledge. The Prosperity4All ecosystem can be a place for other EU projects’ members to learn about accessibility, find components and offer their products and services through the relevant infrastructures.
6 Co-joint and related activities
Any demonstration activities cannot be separated by the dissemination activities scheduled and targeted during the last two years of the project. For this reason, the WP405 teams works closely with the dissemination team in identifying opportunities for demonstration and conferences that are mentioned in DoW and others relevant to the work performed in the project.
In each demonstration activity, the dissemination material (at least website, project presentation, leaflets and posters) will be available for the visitors and attendees.
In addition, the major close to the end of the project Open Day will be one large event that will cover requirements for extravert efforts made in the project.
7 Major outputs and expected results
This section is preliminary. It is aimed to be enriched and updated in the final version of this deliverable based on the main findings and lessons learnt for the various events and demonstration activities. Anticipated outputs will be the following:
• Build networks with organizations, industries, user organizations and other academic and research institutes that will further strengthen the prospective affiliations;
• Strengthen and enhance existing guidelines, demonstration capacities, and training curricula for the actual implementation of the Prosperity4All infrastructure;
• Assist the promotion of project-produced technologies to interested parties and especially those who belong to tails-of-the-tails, i.e. promote the ethos of customized solutions and development for all, development for one;
• Mobilize local, regional, national, European and international participation to events, and conferences;
• Encourage and assist participation from different user groups.

8 Conclusion and next steps
This document sets the objectives for the demonstration activities and presents the different targeted user groups, the demonstration methods and events, the subjects of demonstrations, and suggested timeline of events. The final version of this deliverable will include the actual demonstrations taking place in the events, workshops and Open Days across Europe and internationally.
In addition, it will include the proceedings of major events (i.e. the final Open Days and special sessions). An initial timeline was prepared for instantiating the preparations and collaborate with involved teams. The demonstration of project deliverables will more certainly aim to spark discussions and initiate collaborations with outside interested parties, companies, organizations, and affiliates.
In conclusion, the feedback collected during these events (administration of feedback forms in Annex B) will be included in the final version of this document.
However, feedback will be prioritized and communicated to both development and demonstration teams in order to improve the components and products, when this will be still feasible, but also to improve the demonstrations and the showcasing scenarios (they will be annexed in the final version of this deliverable based on the updated and final SP1 personae). The aim will be to cover a cluster of users/actors and not only one actor that might interact with any part of the infrastructure.
