Journal publishes the materials of the colloquium on computing and controldivision 'Technologies Supporting the Remote Delivery of Health and Care Services'. The Proceedings contains 7 papers. The aim of this colloquium was to enable those developing or implementing technology based systems to support the remote delivery of health and care services to learn of ongoing developments and together consider of the issues affecting the successful introduction and use of technology in this field.

The possibility of building systems using pre-existing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is investigated with the growing complexity and cost involved in the development of safety critical applications, but a number of problems are posed in attempting to integrate COTS components in larger systemsdevelopments. These problems include the potential for introducing systematic errors through component mismatch and meeting the obligations of the systems safety case. These two problems and the solutions to solve these problems by using appropriate and sufficient documentation of COTS components are discussed.

personal information management is the way in which individuals manipulate, work with, understand, develop, create and maintain knowledge and information. personalsystems may be defined as systems that are designed to support the work and/or leisure practices of a user. The nature of personalsystems requires sophisticated human factors engineering to make them effective. To illustrate the integration of human factors method for usability engineering within the domain of personalsystems, the development of two of the personal information management appliances at the Center for personal Information Management is described.

The role of agents in the personal electronics of the future and some of the technical ideas which make this role possible are discussed. A view of the future is sketched based on current trends, principally, on the convergence of technologies, known as multimedia. Why the concept of agents is so important in enabling this view of the future to come about is explained. The main characteristics of the agent model adopted in the research at the Sharp Laboratories of Europe are described. Finally, comments are made on the appearance of agent-based products.

The key to identifying and realizing true opportunities in personal communications is to first understand what people need and want, and to use this rather than technology possibilities to drive development. Second is to always stress realistic cost benefit analysis. All things considered, people and needs change very little. It is safest to assume then that they remain the same. New products must then offer real benefits and alternatives to existing products in order to compete and meet the demands of the public.

Video gophers are young people equipped with a video-camera and wireless phone that help people in meeting their visual and communication needs. Video gophers set up a one-way broadcast of TV images and two-way communication of speech. The idea of cooperative video gophers is to set up a global network of video gophers that react (or even pro-act) on client demands for moving images and live contacts with people all over the world. The possibilities of cooperative video gophers, like video jukeboxes, video gopher conference calls and famous site video yellow pages, are presented.

RAC is one of the United Kingdom's leading motoring organizations whose members can call for help in case of a breakdown. All 1380 RAC Service Patrols have been issued with a handheld electronic workshop manual containing the equivalent of 160,000 pages of searchable technical information, as well as all aspects of vehicle repair. The idea of an electronic databook was in response to the feeling that, with all Patrol staff working from home, a better way was needed to distribute and update technical information than posting hard-copy manual updates. Other benefits, like increased patrol confidence and faster repair times, are presented.

The application of the latest developments in telecommunication and information technology in highway traffic control is discussed. Requirements concerning telematic systems in traffic can be derived from applications like traffic information, parking space information, electronic route guidance, among others. Further requirements are needed if telematic systems are used for payment procedures or for safety-related applications such as control of access permission to company premises. The paper provides detailed discussion of all these requirements.
