Ambient Intelligence: algorithms, methods and applications

9, 10 and 11 October 2006, at the 10th International Conference on Knowledge-Based & Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems:

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is an emerging paradigm concerned with the design of user-centric intelligent environments. AmI is made possible by permeating public and private spaces with intelligent technology that enhances quality of life. An AmI environment such as a home, an office, a shopping mall, a travel port, utilises data provided by users’ wearable devices to adapt the environment to meet the user’s needs and improving human-machine interactions. Ambient Intelligence brings together a number of research fields from computer science, such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, robotics and human-computer interaction as well as hardware design and architecture.

This special session will focus on Artificial Intelligence techniques, essential for implementing AmI systems, complementing past workshops, which are generally oriented towards computer vision for the AmI paradigm.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- multi-agent methods,
- multi-sensor fusion,
- intelligent human-environment interaction,
- advanced human-computer interaction,
- conventional and embedded robotics solutions,
- ambient representation and innovative sensors

 

Submission of papers: 1 March 2006

Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2006 Final papers to be received by: 1 May 2006



IST Mobile Summit 2006

IST Mobile Summit 2006 is taking place 4-8 June 2006, in Myconos, Greece

The Summit will distribute the latest information covering all aspects of wireless telecommunications for systems of present and future generation to managers, researchers, hardware/software designers and other professionals in the field. The conference will also cover policy, regulation and standardisation issues, which have a key role in the introduction of operative systems and services. The conference will include invited presentations from leading experts. Several demonstrations from European and International projects will also take place, as well as exhibitions.
