Abstract
Ambient Intelligence (AmI), based on ubiquitous computing, represents the most promising approach between people and technology to solve the challenge of developing strategies that allow the early detection and prevention of problems in automated dependence environments. One of the most influenced areas by AmI-based systems will be security and, more specifically, the protection of people under risk situations, including cases of mistreatment or loss. This will contribute to improve important aspects of the quality of life of these people, specially their safety. This paper describes Guardian, an integral solution designed for improving the protection of mistreated and at-risk people.
