Special Track on Ambient Intelligence Environments (AmI Environments 2011)

15th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence - EPIA 2011

10th-13th October, 2011 :: Lisbon, Portugal

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting
people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more
comfortable.
These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing
requirements and forecasting behaviours.

AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting
rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities, tourist
attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc.

In the track on AmI Environments we will create a multi-disciplinary
discussion forum that will bring together researchers from the different
fields addressed discussing issues in Artificial Intelligence topics
included in the Ambient Intelligence environments. Researchers are welcome
to present both theoretical and practical works as well as the lessons
learned with their application in the varied range of domains. Emphasis will
be placed on the presentation of concrete systems, discussion of
implementation and development challenges and sharing of conclusions
achieved and relevant results.
