Workshop on Ambient Intelligence Technologies and ApplicationsAmbient Intelligence (AmI) deals with a new world where computing devices are spread everywhere (ubiquity) allowing humans to interact with physical world environments in an intelligent and unobtrusive way. These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviours. AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities, tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc. In the Workshop on Ambient Intelligence Technologies and Applications we will bring together researchers to present works and systems, discussing issues in Artificial Intelligence topics included in Ambient Intelligence environments. Topics of Interest
ScopeThe trend in the direction of hardware cost reduction and miniaturization increasingly allows embedding computing devices in several objects and environments. Ambient Intelligence (AmI) deals with a new world where computing devices are spread everywhere (ubiquity) allowing humans to interact with physical world environments in an intelligent and unobtrusive way. These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviours. AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities, tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc. Ambient Intelligence involves many different disciplines, for example automation (sensors, control, and actuators), human-machine interaction and computer graphics, ubiquitous computing, embedded systems, and, obviously, Artificial Intelligence. The main contributions envisaged of AI research towards the objectives of Ambient Intelligence are the inclusion of more intelligence in the AmI environments, provision of better, more "natural", support for humans, and access to the knowledge essential for making better decisions in response to interactins between humans and the environments. In the Workshop on Ambient Intelligence Technologies and Applications we would like to bring together researchers to present work and discuss issues in AI topics in Ambient Intelligence, as well as to present some developed systems realising AmI applications.
