2008This paper focuses on an extensive market analysis done
under the framework of the Peach coordination action, a
project funded by the European Union Future Emerging
Technologies unit. The analysis identifies, classifies, reports
and further elaborates on which areas presently benefit from
Presence technologies. Taxonomy of these markets is also
derived in this document, describing how and why Presence
is used there. Finally some data are extrapolated, showing
which are the most addressed markets and which Presence
technologies are the most exploited. The presented results
are based on an extensive search performed on companies
that have currently adopted or are producing Presence
solutions. The identification of these companies is based on
the support of the Peach Presence research community, and
general media.
