The SOFIA pilots showcase SOFIA technologies across four European locations, demonstrating smart environment applications and services in contexts like smart cities, indoor spaces, and personal spaces. A set of seven large-scale pilots will exhibit SOFIA's benefits in 2011, including seamless media consumption across devices, smart maintenance that alerts workers to issues even when mobile. Technologies featured include semantic brokers, ontologies and reasoning, with benefits for industries like automotive, construction, and telecommunications.
