Special issue on Ambient Intelligence

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) refers to predominantly electronic solutions that allow environments to be sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to the presence of people (Aarts et al. 2002). This opens up a world of unprecedented experiences to people in their day to day surroundings. Building on the early ideas of ubiquitous computing by Marc Weiser (1991) who envisioned a digital world where electronic devices are embedded to form a fine grained distributed network, AmI aims to go further in integration by involving the entire environment and any physical object in the interaction with people, thus improving their well being, productivity, creativity, and leisure through enhanced user system interaction. Furthermore, beyond mere physical integration of electronics, this paradigm focuses on the creation of enhanced experiences, thereby having major cultural and business related implications (Aarts and Encarnaçao 2006; Aarts and Marzano 2003). The notion ambience in Ambient Intelligence refers to the need for a large-scale embedding of technology in a way that it becomes unobtrusively integrated into everyday objects and environments. The notion intelligence reflects
New advances in ambient information systems
Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 2016
This special issue is based on the best papers from the Sixth International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT), which was held at London, United Kingdom, on 2-5 June 2015. The conference attracted a large number of scientific papers that contributed to the state-of-the-art in the areas of pervasive and ambient information systems. All the papers selected for this special issue have been extended from their original versions and underwent three rounds of rigorous peer-review process. Based on the reviewers' feedback, as well as the evaluations of the Guest Editors, 8 papers were selected for this special issue from 12 invited submissions. The accepted papers cover interesting works on new developments in ambient and networked systems such as internetof-things (IoT), vehicular networks, context-aware computing, wireless sensors network (WSN), smart spaces, systems security and intelligent mobility. The first paper by Negash et al. is entitled ''LISA 2.
Ambient intelligence: Technologies, applications, and opportunities
PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING, 2009
Ambient intelligence is an emerging discipline that brings intelligence to our everyday environments and makes those environments sensitive to us. Ambient intelligence (AmI) research builds upon advances in sensors and sensor networks, pervasive computing, and artificial intelligence. Because these contributing fields have experienced tremendous growth in the last few years, AmI research has strengthened and expanded. Because AmI research is maturing, the resulting technologies promise to revolutionarize daily human life by making people's surroundings flexible and adaptive.
Ambient Intelligence: The Next Generation Technology A Review
2013
Abstract:-Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex system design that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to explore computers that would autonomously configure their functionality based on observations of who or what is surrounding them. By determining their context, using input from sensor systems distributed throughout the environment, computing devices could personalize themselves to their current user, adapt their behaviour according to their location, or interact to their surroundings. This field of intelligence is called Ambient Intelligence (AmI). There has been increasing interest in building networks with AmI, which incorporates the user-centricity and context awareness, or in short AmI is a new information paradigm where people are empowered through a digital environment that is “aware ” of their presence, context and is sensitive, adaptive, responsive to their need...

Ambient computing refers to the development of physical environments enhanced through information and communication technology to better serve the needs of users. In contrast with traditional computer applications, ambient computing offers a vision in which computer support migrates from the desktop to the physical environment, thus demanding natural means of interaction, in contrast with the traditional keyboard and mouse. This approach to computing is particularly well suited for working environments characterized by local mobility, frequent activity switching, and intense collaboration, as it is often the case in healthcare. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of research conducted in Mexico for several years towards the development of an ambient computing environment in support of hospital work, the iHospital. The paper describes the research methodology used, major findings, ambient computing technology that has been designed and developed as a response to the needs id...
Identifying aspects of Ambient Intelligence through a review of recent developments
Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Technology, 2012
It has already been realized by the scientific and technical community that a new form of technology is going to lead the future technological developments. This technology will be more humancentric and will be more and more "hidden" within everyday-life objects. It will be smarter, personalized, pervasive and ubiquitous. This technology includes what is called Ambient Intelligence (AmI). In this paper, we identify the main aspects of AmI through a review of the recent developments that have been achieved in these aspects of AmI and Ambient Intelligence Environments (AmIEs), as well as point out the problems yet to be solved and the visions of the future.
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) deals with a new world where computing devices are spread everywhere (ubiquity), allowing the human being to interact in physical world environments in an intelligent an d unobtrusive way. These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviors. AmI environments may be so diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transports, touristic attractions, stores, sport installations, music dev ices, etc. In the aims of Ambient Intelligence, research envisages to include more in telligence in the AmI environments, allowing a better support to the huma n being and the access to the essential knowledge to make better decisions when i nter-acting with these environments. This paper can be seen as a State of the Art of Ambient Intelligence, according to an Artificial Intelligen ce (AI) perspective. We will define Ambient Intelligence; refer some of their pr ototype and syst...
