Ambient Intelligence—Software and Applications—13th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence 

This book presents the latest research on Ambient Intelligence including software and applications. Ambient Intelligence (Am I) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence, where computers are used as proactive tools assisting people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more comfortable. The inclusion of computational power and communication technologies in everyday objects is growing, and their embedding into our environments should be as invisible as possible. In order for Am I to be successful, human interaction with computing power and embedded systems in the surroundings should be smooth and happen without people actually noticing it. The only awareness people should have arises from Am I: more safety, comfort and wellbeing, emerging in a natural and inherent way. ISAm I is the International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence, aiming to bring together researchers from various disciplines that constitute the scientific field of Am I to present and discuss thelatest results, new ideas, projects and lessons learned.
