Abstract

In this article we survey ambient intelligence (AmI), including its applications, some of the technologies it uses, and its social and ethical implications. The applications include AmI at home, care of the elderly, healthcare, commerce, and business, recommender systems, museums and tourist scenarios, and group decision making. Among technologies, we focus on ambient data management and artificial intelligence; for example planning, learning, event-condition-action rules, temporal reasoning, and agent-oriented technologies. The survey is not intended to be exhaustive, but to convey a broad range of applications, technologies, and technical, social, and ethical challenges.

The LAICA Project: An ad-hoc middleware to support Ambient Intelligence

Our everyday environments are going to be disseminated of devices and sensors that exhibit some degree of autonomy and that collaborate to support users in their activities. This envisions a not-so-far future called "Ambient Intelligence", i.e., ...
The “A.I.vatar”: Artificial Intelligent agents in the context of Ambient Intelligence

The European Union's Information Society Technologies Program Advisory Group (ISTAG), in its 1999 vision statement, coined the term “ambient intelligence” (AmI) to portray the image where “people will be surrounded by intelligent and intuitive ...
Ambient Intelligence—the Next Step for Artificial Intelligence

Ambient intelligence (AmI) deals with a new world of ubiquitous computing devices, where physical environments interact intelligently and unobtrusively with people. These environments should be aware of people's needs, customizing requirements and ...
