ICOST2009, with theme "Ambient assistive health and wellness management in the heart of the city", will focus its attention on usability of assistive services in daily open space. In combination with presentations, posters, exhibits and technology demonstrations, end-users will be invited to attend and also participate in several panel sessions to express their own views regarding newly developed technologies and meet highly qualified experts coming from different countries and different background (research, industry, users representatives, etc.)

To this purpose ICOST2009 program will be a one track session divided into 5 session types:
